Thanks for the link. I see you're not far from the home of Iris DeMent. She's a treasure.

Nice cat. You caught the blue eyes with just the right amount of laser vision.
How about a link to that podcast? If it has a RSS feed so much the better.

You said the magic phrase.

This version is longer. The first minute shows the purpose of legal language: to claim possession of people and their property through identification with titles of authority:

"I am Arthur, King of the Britons."
"King of the who?"
"King of the Britons."
"Who are the Britons?"
"We all are. We're all Britons. And I am your king."
Cleese and crew understood it instinctively.
I like seeing cool things done with BASH. Hat tip to the Greek letters.

Same garbage in USA. A group of shell companies owned by one umbrella company controls access to legal case rulings. If you try to use Pacer at a courthouse you risk being harassed and treated like a terrorist--especially if it is a case you are working on for yourself. And let's not even discuss transcripts. It can cost arm, leg, and firstborn to get a transcript of a case. The legal profession and the courts are a racket designed to serve the rich.

If you are referring to MEGARAND, no. There is no need for that since all of that has already been done over the years for the underlying primitives:
/dev/urandom ... b2sum ... shuf ... chacha20 ...
These primitives have been run through the gauntlet for years and are known to produce or use very good entropy. Chacha20 is especially prized for this and taking already random data and running it through the chacha20 cipher with random keys and/or salts is a very nice hedge against patterns and biases. Megarand stretches these primitive outputs to build a much larger pool for wherever you might want a big initial pool for pads, tokens, seeds, whatever.
If you're paranoid you can run dieharder tests on the output, but it would just be placebo at this point.
