), I hear most often is that MA drivers (Massholes) and NJ drivers are the worst, yet that's not even remotely true.

Flagrant Abuse posted:There's no way that map is right, Nebraska has horrible drivers, especially if you need to make a left off of a busy street onto a side street without a light. You'll be stuck waiting for an opening in oncoming traffic, while the traffic in your own lane waits until the very last second to go around you. I don't understand. That might be annoying for the people waiting behind the driver who's hesitating to pass the turner, but sounds completely par for the course for the person turning left. Are you saying drivers are bad because they don't stop to let you in? Are there even places where that happens? Personally I'm surprised RI isn't on the list. I'm pretty sure it's optional to obey street signs and traffic lights in Providence. And I'm saying this as someone from MA.

I had someone make a right turn in front of me from the left lane while I was headed straight a week after I saw a different car make that move in front of a bus so I don't know how California isn't the worst.

Action-Man posted:The correct answer is DC. DC has the worst drivers. Since moving here, I've seen poo poo that'll turn you white. Isn't this just populationdensity.jpg? My car gets hit on a regular occasion in Chicago from people desperately trying to parallel park their 12 foot long car in a 12.1 foot gap. When I drive to visit friends in Iowa I'd have to go out of my way to hit someone.

A Buttery Pastry posted:I thought the limited scenario was the Russians launching a retaliatory strike with what they have left, in which case targeting silos wouldn't make that much sense, since the contents are already in Russia. Ahh, that makes a ton of sense. In which case yeah, may as well target major population centers and economic infrastructure.

The Narrator posted:No Waterman butterfly projection I'm pretty sure the black dot in northern lower Michigan is Camp Grayling but what is the northernmost black dot on the west coast? The only thing I can think of is the Coast Guard base in Ludington but I'd think that would be a waste of time. I guess in the post-nuclear wasteland of the Upper Midwest the irradiated remnants of the Yooper Republic would be the regional power since they don't seem worth nuking after Kincheloe AFB and KI Sawyer AFB got closed down.

ALL-PRO SEXMAN posted:Oh loving Google Maps. Yes, but all that stuff is on the eastern end of the Idaho-British Columbia border, and the target "dot" is on the west side, where as you mentioned there's pretty much nothing there but forest. There's not really any signs of human development in the area either, apart from a hiking trail or two and the aforementioned (but not important) power lines.

I found this interactive demographic map of the US (income, household size, head of household race & head of household age) to be pretty interesting. One thing I noticed is that they didn't split out Hispanic, and included them in the White category.
