It's a Gallup poll that asked people which states were the worst to live in. This map shows what percent of each respondent named their own state.
Found it thanks. Survey was done in 2013. Wonder if anything has changed in 5 years http://news.gallup.com/poll/168653/montanans-alaskans-say-states-among-top-places-live.aspx
Living in NJ and not being from here, I completely agree with you. But A LOT of native NJ folks have no clue how shitty it is to live in this state compared to many others and in fact think its great, but it's not.
If you take away the cold, I’ve yet to meet somebody that isn’t in love with Montana if they have lived there. Alas, it’s only true to a point because many eventually have to move because of the lack of job options. One of the reasons PDX has so many of them. Close to a lot of things that remind them of the state while having a chance to find work since the metro is literally over twice as much as the entire state of Montana.
this is true. I fell in love with Montana when I interviewed there, but the lack of job opportunities for my wife pushed us to Oregon.
Maybe I’m biased but I would be hard pressed to find a quarter of the people in Illinois think it’s the worst possible state to live. We look down on southerners, not ourselves. I have lived in the city or Chicagoland area for most of my life and don’t think it’s shitty. Yes, the taxes and government situation isn’t necessarily ideal but shit, it’s not that bad. I don’t know, maybe the perception in Effingaham, IL is different than chicago.
How in the world did they find those 13 out of a 100 Minnesotans who gently pushed their modesty aside, forced down their humble, and admitted to the questioner, Yah sure, I suppose we might be the best state.
Known as the land of lakes, Minnesota has 10,000 lakes...using the same criteria Alaska has 3,000,000 lakes
https://www.sbnation.com/college-fo...-season-results-championship-team-of-the-year Spoiler Alabama: Alabama. The Tide lost to Auburn, but a national championship — regardless of level — makes you the team of the year in a given state. Alaska: There are no NCAA, junior college, or NAIA schools in the state. We thus award an actual state championship to Bartlett High School in Anchorage. The Golden Bears actually won the ASAA Division I Championship, so they are truly state champs. Arizona: Arizona State, which was fun, made a bowl, and beat Arizona for the Territorial Cup, college football’s oldest rivalry trophy unless it’s not. The Sun Devils thus earned the title despite hiring Herm Edwards, also in the calendar year 2017. Arkansas: Central Arkansas went 9-0 in conference to top the FCS Southland. Arkansas State was likely the best team in the state and would’ve whooped Arkansas if the Razorbacks didn’t have a policy against scheduling the Red Wolves. ASU’s coach burned the Razorbacks at a speaking engagement, though. California: USC won the Pac-12 and did it by beating Stanford twice, including in the conference championship. Shoutout to the USD Toreros, however. Colorado: Colorado wasn’t as good as Colorado State, probably, but did win head-to-head. The Buffs take the title. Connecticut: Yale won an Ivy League championship. Central Connecticut State made the FCS playoffs and scored zero points once there. Delaware: Wesley went 10-2 and made the Division III playoffs. Florida: UCF. Georgia: Georgia. Hawaii: Hawaii, I guess, but feel free to consider San Diego State running back Rashaad Penny for that time he literally dragged a Hawaii guy across the turf. Idaho: Boise State. Illinois: Northwestern went 10-3 in a power conference, though NIU’s 8-5 and delightful win at Nebraska (featuring two pick-sixes) merited consideration. Indiana: Purdue had a great year, but Saint Francis won the NAIA national championship. Apologies to the Boilermakers. Iowa: Iowa beats Iowa State on a head-to-head tiebreaker. Kansas: Kansas State. Kentucky: Louisville beat Kentucky head-to-head, and neither WKU nor any of the state’s lower-division programs had all that special a year. Louisiana: LSU. Maine: Husson went 10-2 and won a game in the DIII playoffs. Maryland: Navy made and won another bowl game, in epic fashion against Virginia. Frostburg State won two games in the DIII playoffs and went 11-2. Kudos to the other other FSU. Massachusetts: Boston College beat Louisville and Florida State, lol. Yale beat Harvard and deserves runner-up status for that achievement. Michigan: Michigan State held off an upset bid by plucky upstart Michigan. The runner-up is Central Michigan, which beat both Western and Eastern Michigan. Minnesota: St. Thomas won a pair of DIII playoff games, and I’m not in the mood to reward the flagship Gophers with a state title for falling from 9-4 to 5-7. Mississippi: East Mississippi Community College, i.e. Last Chance U, won the junior college national title. Sorry about it, Egg Bowl. Missouri: Missouri claims this year’s crown, but only because Division II powerhouse Northwest Missouri State fell off a little bit. Montana: Montana State beat Montana to win the Great Divide Trophy. The Grizzlies had a better record (7-4 to 5-6), but that doesn’t concern us. Nebraska: There’s no choice but to award a split title to Chadron State and Wayne State, who both went 6-5 in Division II. Nevada: Nevada went 3-9 but gets the most underwhelming state title of any team here by virtue of the process of elimination and beating UNLV. New Hampshire: New Hampshire made the FCS playoffs and won a couple of times once it got there. New Jersey: Rather than giving Rutgers the nod at 4-8, let’s recognize the Monmouth Hawks for making the FCS playoffs and losing by 39 to UNI immediately. New Mexico: New Mexico State made a bowl game for the first time since 1960, then won that bowl game. Go Aggies. New York: Army, and it’s not much of a race. North Carolina: North Carolina A&T went 12-0 and won the HBCU national championship in the Celebration Bowl. These Aggies are clearly deserving. North Dakota: North Dakota State won the FCS national championship. Ohio: Mount Union won the Division III national title, no matter what would happen if it played Ohio State head-to-head. Oklahoma: Oklahoma. Oregon: Oregon. Pennsylvania: Penn State. Rhode Island: Bryant went 6-5, far better than lowly Brown and Rhode Island, who combined for five wins. South Carolina: Clemson. South Dakota: South Dakota State beat South Dakota in the South Dakota Showdown Series and also finished with a superior record. Tennessee: Memphis wins here. (I’d foolishly awarded this to Vanderbilt at first, based on a head-to-head win against Tennessee. But the overall body of work makes it clear to me that the Tigers have earned it.) Texas: Texas A&M Commerce won the Division II national title, and I can’t even begin to express how much I don’t feel bad about awarding the Lions this title. Utah: Utah won seven games including a nice Power 5 bowl game, though if you think I should’ve put FCS playoff team Weber State here instead, you’ve got a strong case. Vermont: Castleton beat Norwich in the year’s lone head-to-head meeting between any of the three Division III programs in the state. But Middlebury, with its state-best 7-2 record, is your Vermont winner. Virginia: James Madison was awesome and almost won a second FCS title in a row, though North Dakota State beat the Dukes in the end. Washington: Washington beat Washington State for the Apple Cup. Washington, D.C.: Howard had a wonderful turnaround season and went 7-4, easily beating out 1-10 Georgetown. The Bison had the biggest upset in CFB history by point spread when they beat UNLV as 45-point underdogs in Week 1. West Virginia: West Virginia. Wisconsin: Wisconsin. Wyoming: Wyoming, the only college program in the state, won a bowl.
I've seen one of these before but this one is a little more detailed and I was kinda having fun looking at it so I'm posting. No polotics Spoiler: large pic
So much to love What the fuck is dill pickle with beef dip Alaska Why is Kentucky trying to whip up some fondue
Why would you even need to search for “Ham bologna turkey sub” recipes? That search itself is the recipe
The key here is “unique”. It’s not like everyone is searching that. It’s just that some group of weirdos search that in Mississippi and nowhere else.
Look man, I don’t put ham bologna turkey on a sub, I only eat the finest Publix chicken tender subs, and I won’t have my state slandered by these maps.
https://labs.strava.com/heatmap/ this is pretty cool. it is a heatmap made from some kind of gps device ppl wear when jogging. the company kindly took everyone's data and turned it into a huge basemap. although some ppl are saying its a security risk for the us govt. i think what's interesting is that in smaller towns you can see nicer areas where ppl are running around with these vs. shitty areas where ppl are not. All the "Good neighborhoods" are lit up like christmas trees.
yeah you'd think the military would have sense enough not to have ppl on its facilities wearing devices that send data to some company. i guess that sort of thing is blurred lines when you're talking about phones, devices ,etc
It’s nothing your phone doesn’t already track unless you turn it off. And you’re making a lot of assumptions, mostly: 1) the people running the military know enough about smart tech to order people not to use it 2) those people, if so ordered, would comply if they knew they probably wouldn’t get caught 3) anyone knew their morning jog would get posted online for all to see.
Idk, they have it in upstate SC but not the rest of the state so to me it's an exotic treat. Their food selection is >>>> a normal gas station and I'm always traveling when I'm near one so it's clutch. Maybe central and lower SC are the only QT impoverished areas
Edit: this made me want to compare it to the United States. I looked up the source data for the same year and it was 31.5% for the US. I then found this info based on 2016 data: The total tax burden faced by average U.S. workers (31.7%) is the 24th highest in the OECD, below the 34-country average of 35.9 percent. With recent changes to the tax code, it will be interesting to see how much it shifts.
