sometimes geographic determinism feels so, so good

Not a single pumpkin pie, get that map outta here.

pplains, Sunday, 17 November 2019 16:46 (six years ago)

pumpkin pie is an atrocity with the appearance and consistency of baby shit

Ok but I have lived in Virginia for 40+ years and never seen a lemon pie served on Thanksgiving. 8 years in Missouri I saw exactly zero blueberry pies served on Thanksgiving. Blueberries are not even remotely seasonal, people!

The pies they are not talking about are pumpkin and apple (both seasonal and classic). Of those pies, only pecan pie belongs in a Thanksgiving tableau.

Fourth of July? Sure, bring your cherry, key lime, blueberry pies. They are appropriate then. But not Thanksgiving, sheesh.

OK, but just go to the grocery store. They have food all year round.

indeed being a beach boy c. 1965 would seem to skew these findings

as a native of upper michigan i have bigger issues than the midwest boundary definitions

joygoat, Wednesday, 8 January 2020 17:46 (six years ago)

I think "no data" sounds about right.

The Beach Boys couldn't get chicks in Upper Michigan due to the overwhelming popularity of my uncle's band.

This map gives you a rough sense of all the ways U.S. land is used. Much of U.S. land serves specific purposes, such as the 2 million acres devoted to golf courses or the 3 million acres for airports.https://t.co/WkDPqg3rwv pic.twitter.com/FUfKYZhy2L

I bet Kansas has theirs because of the Koch Brothers.

skeptical of the variety in this one...seems a bunch of states would have more in common along the lines of “definitely” and “separate”

the walls of the sierra nevada and by the snake river on that map are cool

i've never considered redrawing borders based on 'our weather is pretty much the same' but i love it

A little miffed that the Norman, Okla., and Pleasant Hill, Mo. stations are named after the town they're in while the Little Rock NWS is located in North Little Rock, Ark.

The narkissism of little differences

Canon in Deez (silby), Sunday, 7 February 2021 20:14 (five years ago)

tbf the arkansas travelers are based in north little rock and are rather more grasping

lol @ silby

I envision the Caribou weather station as being staffed by caribou

arkansas travelers are indeed based in arkansas though. we've had this conversation.
