Well you also wouldn’t say ten hundreds for the 1000’s. I think it’s just a quirk of the being the first century in a millennia.

Because that’s referring the 2000’s decade. In terms of centuries, I would say we are still in the early 2000’s and that does feel odd to say.

As defined by Wikipedia:

Two pair is a hand that contains two cards of one rank, two cards of another rank and one card of a third rank (the kicker)

Four of a kind does not meet that criteria.

99 percent invisible did an episode about subtitles a while back. It’s mostly automated now but human transcriptions tend to be better.

I love the strategy of talking down to him like he is a child, knowing full well that he is going to respond like a child.

It has to be. I mean, there’s no way it’s the pentagon.

Nate is not with 538 anymore. Disney didn’t renew his contract. However, he got to keep the model that he developed and publishes it for his newsletter subscribers. 538 had to rebuild their model from scratch this year with G Elliot Morris.

Now Nate hosts the podcast Risky Business with Maria Konnikova. The psychologist who became a professional poker player while researching a book. It’s pretty good.

No, I think he described a k-hole correctly.
