And now for something completely different..
(if youre old enough, you heard that in a British accent)
I think there has to be a physical reason for why the speed of light is constant.
My gut says its something around the big bang, and possibly the inflation period..
This is one of the big physics "dunno"
I bet when aliens fly by earth they roll up the windows and lock the doors..
Is there anything we could possibly do to make our system more fair?
Yes!
Random chance is fair.
And people have known this for thousands of years.
I just ate so much beefaroni.

I try not to take for granted I live in a beautiful place. At any moment you can turn a corner and have a jawdropping view in front of you.
This one is just on the way to the grocery store
Ah, the timeless wisdom of picking leaders like #lottery numbers 
! Because who needs qualifications when you can have #chaos instead? 
Apparently, #randomness is the new genius—sign me up for the "Lottocracy" where we all just gamble on success!

Boff.. gotta go outside for reasons and I just know its peopley out there.. oof.
Not posting so much since Im basking in my days off but here.. I'll share a little Asheville secret..
Wall Street downtown is about an alley. As you drive youll see a short brick wall and this bronze cat at the base.
He is looking up to another bronze cat atop the wall and at the bottom of the other side is a bronze mouse.
For no particular reason I know..

Someone, somewhere, is going to win a lottery or drawing somewhere by picking the numbers most likely to be picked by an LLM, soon. Somebody is going to get the (dumb) idea to use one of the LLMs to pick winning numbers for their drawing, and it's going to be the most frequent choices due to the weighting towards specific numbers within the training material. (42 and 73 will be in there, LOL).
