Edgar Allen Ho posted:In what world is Hawaii a cheap destination? The japanese population is largely there from a long time ago. There's vastly easier and cheaper flights to get from Asia to LA, say, than to get to Hawaii. And once you get there, it's the most expensive state by a ludicrous margin. And largely without the benefits of higher wages to compensate. Living in Hawaii is tough. A lot of people tend to figure out costs of living after they move instead of before. Maybe some people prioritize it, especially when they have the option to move to just outside a place where where the cost of living is high, but for a lot of people it can be outweighed by climate and the more qualitative and conceptual aspects of where they want to live. Incidentally, Hawaii has a pretty high homelessness rate, because when people there hit on hard times or they just weren't planning right when they were staying there, it's a relatively comfy climate to be homeless in (because they won't die of exposure) and they often can't afford to go somewhere cheaper or make their way to find friends or family to help them up.

but tbh i think svalbard is probably one of the only places on earth where bearing arms is proscribed, as in you legally have to be armed at all times in case you meet a bear

Polar bears see humans as prey. Brown bears can be aggressive and the big cats are opportunists, but they don’t pursue us like polar bears do.

Does anyone know of a geologically/meteorologically accurate (or mostly accurate) continent generator or something similar? Like, you draw mountains and it generates proper rain shadows and climate and whatever. Or it just randomizes plausible continents. It’s the kind of thing I feel like must exist somewhere at this point

Quorum posted:There's that, and there's also quite a large military population in a state with a relatively small population to begin with. That makes sense, thanks. Alaska is another interesting case, at just 41%. As far as I know its proximity to the ocean doesn't make its climate that much milder, and at the same latitude in Canada there's almost no one (except for the small indigenous population). How on earth did the US manage to get hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to a frozen wasteland? I'm assuming it has to do with resource extraction. e: yeah, oil and gas, looks like.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Yeah. If you put all the features of the various programs together you'd probably have something pretty good, but generally it seems like they simplify some thing or the other to the point that you might as well just do it by feel. Even worse if you want to gently caress around with non-Earthlike planets. I ended up basically programming a climate simulator in Excel because I wanted to gently caress around with a twin-planet setup which completely changes how wind patterns should form on a planet. Which I know is definitely not what Excel is made for, but I don't really feel like taking up programming, and there is a certain level of satisfaction in using primitive tools. That is exactly what Excel was designed to do: a decent job at something no one else has made a proper piece of software for, at least not one you're willing to buy. It's amazing at doing a not entirely terrible job at basically anything.
