I always get a tickle of pride thinking about how my home state, MN, provided key support in a number of civil war battles. Don't remember the details, but we definitely fought hard.

Reply to comment by oren0 in [OC] Top Ten films from each year of Sight & Sound's critics poll by lit_geek
A lot has to do with it being rewatched and rediscovered like someone else here said. I think it was restored since 2012 and it is now a lot easier to watch online than it was 10 years ago. Another factor that I think contributed greatly is the fact that people wanted to have diverse ballots (I don’t necessarily mean diverse as in from different countries, gender, and race, but more like I think most people wouldn’t like to have six Hitchcock films for example, even if they love them, because they would be using over half of their votes in basically the same thing when they can spread it among the various things they think are important to represent in a greatest films list, to some it would be putting a film from each of the greatest directors, the best film from each genre, their favorite film from their country, and to some represent women filmmakers who are still incredibly underrepresented when we discuss film history as a whole).
Besides, if you remove the feminist themes (which I don’t know why you would since it’s an integral part of the film, but still). It is still an incredible achievement and an amazing movie that is worthy of being considered number one.

That's very interesting! Do you know of any reference that explains how bookmakers calculate the odds?

So according to 2022 data Minnesota is 15 in system education. Wisconsin 10. I love that you get to just make crap up and post it though with so much assurance that your right.

Reply to comment by chouseva in [OC] Number of full-time, permanent, on-duty NASA employees by fiscal year and occupation (FY1993-FY2023) by iswearitsreallyme
Ooh I wish I could see contractor stats too, I'd have to imagine those numbers have been increasing over the years. I was a federal contractor at the same agency for about seven years and there were other contractors who had been there for 20+.... really makes you wonder why those aren't permanent government positions.

Yeah I wonder what they count as admin staff... I'm curious to take a deeper look into the definitions!

maine is just green.
I moved to a small town of 700 in the 80s. middle of the woods.
one of the chores was to mow the cemetery.. mostly school age workers.
I found a medal of honor union guy. I just moved away 2 years ago.. a random 30 years, checking on the cemetery.
I had assumed maine was so far north, the way news travelled would have left it like a north midwest state.. but no. It still gathered men.

Neat! Would be nice for matches to be shown as a range instead of a single point in time.

Why were there so many units from frontier states like Illinois and Missouri but so few from CT and other New England states? There had to be greater population in New England at that time.

The data is from Yelp not OP. BBQ not American is weird to me as well. Not sure what your clarification about Chinese is regarding, they are sorted differently and grouped geographically as east Asian just like French and Italian are European. Same with Brazilian

There should be some indication/notation of films moving into the top ten from previous rank.
