I live in Hawaii and we have the slowest speed limits in the nation, due to our small size, less road infrastructure, and lots of winding, curving roads due to our mountains, coastlines, etc. Our fastest speed limits are only 60 on our 3 freeways, and 45 on highways.

I’ve heard from friends and relatives who live in the contiguous US that the plains states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, and South Dakota are the fastest due to their rural areas and less population.

Oregon and Vermont are supposed to be slow paced from what people tell me.

Kansas, New Mexico, and Iowa like to give out speeding tickets to out of state drivers who are going fast through rural areas.

I have heard this from a lot of casual basketball fans. I know they’re the most successful women’s team and have the most championships. But I’ve heard there’s a significant local fan base comprised of elderly women specifically (and their husbands as well).

Is it a local cultural thing? Is girls/womens’ basketball just a huge thing because of all of the winning the school has had? Was it like this from Geno’s first championship, or just more recently?

States that are not frequently visited by out of state or international tourists, are not well known to foreigners, its major cities or historic cities are not frequently mentioned by the typical American, doesn’t have well known landmarks, famous streets, publically known events, etc.

I’m just guessing here, because I’ve only ever lived in Hawaii, and have not lived in the contiguous US, but some that come to mind are West Virginia, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Delaware, Rhode Island.

Can someone explain how the fluids in your inner ears affect balance? I get it’s something to do with the vestibular system and the fluids basically relaying messages to your body to maintain balance. But how do ear fluids necessarily affect a body’s arms, legs, feet, hands, torso, etc? Like why do people with weaker inner ears have trouble riding bicycles or learning to ice skate or roller skate?
