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

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

i know the precise layout of this map is unimportant for its purposes but nevertheless it is appalling

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 (three years ago) link

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.

Yes, we've seen the "Top Cities for BBQ in the US" @TripAdvisor map.

Our official statement is "LOL."

Technically speaking that is a map of cities where TripAdvisor users have the lowest standards for barbecue

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 13 May 2021 17:06 (two years ago) link

That said, I have eaten some excellent barbecue in southern VA not far from Virginia Beach, very vinegary and not at all like the Texas style, dug it

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 13 May 2021 17:07 (two years ago) link

the cedar plank salmon in seattle is really hitting i guess?
