    Meant:
    Closest point of alaska --> cairo is closer tha
    Closest point of Florida --> cairo

    But i can redo it a bit less weird. From Helsinki the closest point of the US is also alaska (same basically for everything above the trondheim-st petersburg diagonal)

    I think if you added is to your first statement it would’ve made more sense to me.

    Alaska is closer to the Pyramids than Florida

    Everyone knows that Everest is the mountain farthest from sea level. Many know it’s not the tallest from base to peak, Denali by land, Mauna Loa by sea. But the mountain that’s the furthest away from the center of the earth? That’s Ecuador’s Chimborazo thanks to something called earth’s bulge.

    So sea level isn't always sea level.

    I mean, yes Chet, there are waves and swells. Those may go from a meter to even 20 meters above sea level. But the sea itself?

    Well no wonder Everest is the tallest from sea level. It's got a 350-ft handicap.

    Weird. It showed 240k leaving Cali, 84k moving to Texas, and overall a huge influx of ppl moving to the Southeast.

    The “sun belt” is still attractive for movers. Did you think everyone was moving to Washington?

    California’s population grew in 2023 and this map is using day from 7/1/23-7/1/24. Wonder what the data is for all of 2024.
