Am v. disappointed you have not added requisite Mr Burns gif here.

Vegemite and climate policy have long been interrelated and controversial.

Supplementary props to whoever at unimelb put together this flowchart to eliminate catastrophic apostrophal decisonal paralysis:

(It even includes fun self-quizzes to assess your level of mastery of the comma that gets above its station)

Now that's a productivity.

Remittances account for more than double (!) Australia's official development assistance - and the global remittance economy tops $1.3 *trillion* - including 40% of Tonga's GDP.

There's a story here about the contributions that migrants make - not only to their new countries, but the whole world.

And to revive this.. a new level of hatred is unlocked by derived units. Seriously.

Writs are an unusual beast in formal pieces of written administrivia. About the last place you see someone being 'commanded' by the Royal Prerogative.

Which makes it mildly interesting that the Electoral Officer for Tasmania, whose middle name is Royal, is thusly commanded.

Providing non-tech summaries would improve policymaking across a range of fields and should be encouraged!

For example - taking "Boundedly Rational Expectations and the Optimality of Flexible Average Inflation Targeting", a fairly dense contribution, is translated into a summary readable by a non-economist* , setting out that central banks respond to both current *and* past events to set expectation

Not sure physicists would be overjoyed by the beauty of the unified system of time, or just mad they would have to then go back and change literally every number in every book, ever.

If we made time metric by redefining the second (so that a day has a million seconds, or similar) - it turns out we then have to redefine 7 of the 8 other SI base units (the metre, kg etc, which then make up joules, amps etc) that use the second.

While I strongly support your overall thesis, one needs to be careful with how far we look under this particular rock... the kilowatt-hour, while an unquestionably useful unit for electricity, becomes decidedly inconvenient when starting to look at broader energy comparisons.

With apologies to Titchmarsh.. it may be of no practical use to spreadsheet, but if we can spreadsheet, surely it would be intolerable not to spreadsheet.
