I want to complain about maps... Exhibit 1, rare earth elements. Because the OBJECTID_1 and SHAPE__Length are very important indicators of the availability of rare earth elements.

Also: things like “way too many decimals” and “make the terns at left of the table more readable / meaningful”, too

Society has several big ones to work on. Then, pop-up editing.

Just lazy mapmakers all around. They could dress it up and do better for an extra high five but choose the void instead

Made my own map. Why is the Australian Atlas providing distances in miles? Also, it doesn't have my fancy roads layer in the legend. So silly. (Printing maps is very 1990s too!)
