Is this what we’ve become?

Bold of you to assume generations down the road will be able to read with the way things are going.

Interesting fact.
I watch adults apply for New Mexico each year who virtually apply their way OUT of their tags because they don’t understand math and numbers.

As you know NM does three options for each species.

So your name is drawn: they check your first, then second, then third.
So anyone who understands math would understand to taper their apps.

Lowest draw odds to highest.
Example that’s completely made up with made up numbers on what someone should do to optimize app.
Elk app:
16D archery second season 6% draw odds, 16D archery first season 11%, and 51 archery 20%.

However the majority shoot theirselves in the foot and will do it like:
51 archery 20%, 16D second archery 6%, and 34 second archery 5%.

Statistically they are cutting down their chances to draw.

Not interesting enough?

Want to see a journal post I found by @The Hedgehog in his diary?

“Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species.
To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser", and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior. I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theatre of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.

Occasionally I will get a mutation; a candy that is misshapen, or pointier, or flatter than the rest. Almost invariably this proves to be a weakness, but on very rare occasions it gives the candy extra strength. In this way, the species continues to adapt to its environment.

When I reach the end of the pack, I am left with one M&M: the strongest of the herd. Since it would make no sense to eat this one as well, I pack it neatly in an envelope and send it to:

M&M Mars, a division of Mars Inc.
Hackettstown, NJ
17840-1503 USA

along with a 3x5 card reading, "Please use this M&M for breeding purposes."

This week they wrote back to thank me, and sent me a coupon for a free 1/2 pound bag of plain M&Ms. I consider this "grant money".
I have set aside the week-end for a grand tournament. From a field of hundreds, we will discover the True Champion.

There can be only one.”

He’s an interesting fella.






Alright - thread has run its course. Go steamroll another one.
