Random Thought Thread

Sad because it already sounds pretty bad. 🤕

The large section of tree I am standing behind snapped off (widowmaker) as I was starting to cut that tree down the previous week. It came down suddenly from about 20’, striking my helmet as I was leaning forward, and I felt like a pool cue ball getting knocked down/back. My wife thought I was dead. Helmet saved my life but my neck hasn’t been the same since. Neck issues suck! We finished cutting trail the next couple of weeks though.
 
Here's my random thought for the day

Apparently, there are more ways to shuffle a deck of 52 cards than there are atoms in this galaxy.

So, even though it's physically possible to shuffle a deck of cards twice and get the same order, statistically speaking it's essentially impossible that there has ever been two decks of cards shuffled in the same order.

This is a great example of something that is physically possible but will never happen. Not in a million billion years.

I wonder if the odds of developing intelligent life capable of leaving a planet are similar odds?

I've always assumed there's other intelligent life in the galaxy.

But maybe that was a bad assumption?
it's a pretty bad assumption on a couple levels
