In Northern Europe a lot of non-chain pizza places are also kebab places where they probably originally thought "hmmm these Europeans don't know what the heck a Kebab is but they love pizza so I better have that on the menu as well"

In Germany there were a lot of pure kebab places that were very successful and bought the pizza ovens after they outcompeted the neighbouring pizza place. And then they also offered to put the meat on the pizza.

Mid or up scale kebap places also end up with good ovens because they make their own bread or at least pide. And then they also offer pizza.

For example there is a kebab place near me where they offer calzone "special" with kebab meat, suzuk and joghurt filling that I really want to post in one of the food threads. But they put their normal kebab into amazing freshly baked bread, so I refuse to order anything else.

This is a good example of a bizarrely erroneous series of maps in which China absorbs Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan which you see from time to time. There's a reddit thread about it here but seems like some missing GIS data in a vector map a decade ago has proliferated this odd world of West Turkistan

edit:

You can see comparing to the original that they seem to have added Georgia back in but are still missing Kaliningrad

Italian food is an American invention and so forth. But hákarl, that's done old traditional poo poo.

I have fond memories of Indian places making tandoori Pizza and stuff, but I'm not sure it holds up today. But that's because I'm a fart huffing hipster.

Median household income by county.

A lot of this isnt too surprising, but I was surprised just how large the area of high income is around Washington DC. Federal government jobs arent particularly highly compensated, so what drives this? People working for companies who do business with government?

Personally, I'm a little surprised by North Dakota and Utah. I'm guessing oil is involved in the case of the former, and that Salt Lake City has a bigger metro area than I thought, as far as the latter is concerned.

Colorado is one of the most unequal states.

The red clusters seem to correspond with former coal country and the Black Belt, respectively.

One of those Salt Lake City counties is Park City, which is a giant ski resort, and a number of the surrounding counties are also low population with spillover - it's a bit deceptive.

I think so too. Looking at this below map, a lot of the dark blue counties in the central US from Texas to North Dakota are oil and gas country. I suspect there are a disproportionate number of well paid households of size 1 that are bringing up the median household income.

I really want to know why they didn’t colonize Doggerland, and how they controlled Finland when it was under 2000 meters of ice. I guess something like the Antarctic civilization in Barjavel’s La Nuit des Temps?

E: apparently huge parts of Finland were underwater in 7000 BC - I guess that’s what ended their civilization, glacial flooding and sea level rise (until post-glacial rebound took it above sea level later). Truly we should invest more in studying that ancient culture to see how we can avoid our civilization collapsing due to sea level rise.

E2: huh, still rising by 4 mm/yr. I guess the Finns and Swedes are safe to keep pumping CO2 into the atmosphere.

entirely invented islands were believed to exist far longer than I expected. Mainly in the southern ocean.

My tinfoil hat theory is that the cartographers knew the world was mapped besides Antarctica but were holding out hope that maybe one day, they could roll up to some new place, unfurl the flag, and hereby claim this frozen rock as Me Island for [country]
