Is it possible to do random things?

[Guttairc]

Thinking a bit like that about hairs, for example, on the head and body, is each hair placed specifically, or is it random? Is it possible to do things randomly, do you use free will then? Or, is everything predetermined, so even thousands of hairs are placed?

Not everything is done by a template.

The hairs on your head and body would be "placed there" according to a template.

Drinking a Coke, instead of a Pepsi, would be an act of freewill.

I don't like the taste of Coke but I do like the taste of Pepsi.
I'm a captive to my taste buds!

Mayhap there is even a cookie cutter form of randomness in the probability manifestations.

They say no two snowflakes are alike.

Same for DNA.

They say no two snowflakes are alike.

.. but can 'they' prove it?

Nope.

I've heard that, maybe there's a future event that will have additional evidence.

They use to talk about how there are 60 words for Snow in Alaska. The Ski resorts in Alaska have hundreds of different words they use to describe the different kinds of snow. Everything from cornball to powder.

• Corn: Spring skiing's best friend! This snow thaws during the day and refreezes overnight, creating larger, granular crystals. It's soft, fun, and almost creamy to ski on during warmer months.
• Crud: Not the favorite of many skiers, but it's the reality after a day of snow melting and refreezing or after a storm. It's rough, uneven, and can be challenging to navigate.
• Packed Powder: Groomed snow that's been skied on a bit but still has a good amount of fluff left. It's perfect for beginners and those who like a bit of a smooth ride.
• Powder: The holy grail of snow conditions! Fresh, fluffy, light, and oh-so-floaty. It's the stuff of dreams for many skiers and snowboarders, providing an almost weightless experience as you carve through it.
• Slush: When temperatures rise, snow turns wet and heavy. It can be harder to maneuver, but it makes for a playful and forgiving ride, often found in the late afternoon during spring skiing.
