Exactly. Conservation of energy being a thing, this would metabolically be a net loss for me. Even if I ate my own egg every morning, I would still need a consistent source of calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous to keep my bones from turning into styrofoam.
This is amazing. This started as a silly question, but I’m glad to see real answers. You’re cool.
Okay, yeah, the arcade carpet was pretty awesome.
Epstein would have dangled treasure maps to some long lost ancient artifact guarded by terrible curses and venomous snakes.
Scrooge has a weakness, and it’s in almost every episode.
Poor lil guy. :(
I was on a sailing ship trying to deliver a very important package. For some reason, a wooden tall ship was the only ship that would work for this specific task.
There was a talking chicken in the crow’s nest named Winona who informed me that she got the job because chickens don’t get seasick.
… and apparently, according to a chicken-keeper on c/NoStupidQuestions, that’s actually quite plausible.
I’d like to give you an answer.
How considerate of the public to use shortband CB radio to inform ignorant truck drivers of this during their misinformed Covid pilgrimage.
That’s a century egg? I thought it was an eyeball from a cow or a squid or something.
So… algebra, alchemy, algorithms, all that cool stuff that kind of formed the building blocks of modern science and math are just… what, fantasy concepts?
Besides, boondoggle is fun. Some of those patterns are wild af.
This was the ELI5 version, and admittedly, network security isn’t my strong suit. Thank you for the correction.
Okay, the other comment was actually pretty funny. But this one’s a serious answer.
Transport Layer Security protocol is a way to share secrets. Basically, it’s the lock on your airport luggage. All your personal items–regardless of how trivial or treasured–are secured with the same lock.
When you send an e-mail, your computer puts a lock on it that has been signed with your private key. It’s sent to a recipient, who can unlock it with their own key. There’s a complicated exchange of keys and ciphers called a ‘handshake’ that happens when a website is loaded on your computer, or an e-mail is received. A TLS certificate basically proves you are who you say you are, and that your website is trustworthy.
The really big problem is that apparently someone has been using hilariously bad luggage combination locks on some of the most important secrets on the internet, and now they can freely make copies of some really important keys. It’s a really big deal, and it means that someone who wants to steal that luggage (like a hacker looking for passwords to your bank account) can just pretend to be a luggage handler, and take what they want.
