    I can confirm I’ve never used psuedo random numbers

      Yeah, for me it is a matter of personal principle: I am against the killing of animals just so I can have a nice random number.

      Huh? Unless you have a camera pointed at a lava lamp, or a radio capturing static, you only ever use pseudo random numbers… Even /dev/random is not really random, just has a clever entropy estimation.
