Monte Carlo Casino
Monte Carlo, Monaco
The most famous example of the gambler's fallacy occurred in a game of roulette at the Casino de Monte-Carlo in the summer of 1913, when the ball fell in black 26 times in a row. This was an extremely uncommon occurrence, although no more nor less common than any of the other 67,108,863 sequences of 26 red or black. Gamblers lost millions of francs betting against black, reasoning incorrectly that the streak was causing an "imbalance" in the randomness of the wheel, and that it had to be followed by a long streak of red.

Momoa’s little belly is on brand for the character, but I’m wondering if it’s a consequence of his notorious distaste for working…
The Day I (Almost) Got Scammed
April 25, 2025 | blog
Several times a week, I get calls from scammers. The calls usually appear to come from random places around the US. If you answer, and they confirm that you are in fact a human gullible enough to answer a call from an unknown number, the scammer follows a standard script. […]
Time to Start Japlanning
April 3, 2025 | travel
Credit to Dave for the witty title. Occasionally, he throws out a gem. After a call with Dave to hammer out the dates and basics, it was time to dive deep into Japan research. It’s a monumental effort, partly because I’m unfamiliar with the country, but also because there’s so…
