It can be 'hacked' because it isn't "random"?
Every password checking web site says it would take thousands of
centuries to hack. What am I missing?
I hope that means 2 or 3 times a day, because I don't want to think about what a 0.3 means.
The problem is that it isn't random - once during morning walkies, maybe during lunchtime walkies and once during evening walkies - so it'll be very predictable and you only get a tiny bit of data evenly spaced out.
Can you generate thousands of different passphases?
