I'm saying that data (not anecdotes) on those would've been better justification for your ranking. That said, for most people, going abroad for surgery or to buy a home is not an option.
Also Canada, and I disagree pretty strongly with your post. Those two statistics have little bearing on happiness. Housing costs and healthcare access are much bigger concerns.
If it brings you moral discomfort, why do you shop at whole foods? Shopping at Walmart (or whole foods!) would also bring me moral discomfort, so I just ...don't do it.

Yes, doubling then subtracting 10% of the resultant works because that is the same as multiplying by 1.8 :) When going the other way and dividing, I similarly find it mentally easier to multiply by 10/18 (rather than…
No need to simplify this. (F - 32) / 1.8 = C C * 1.8 + 32 = F I personally find the math just as easy to do accurately. For example, 87F -32/1.8 = 55/1.8 =~30.5C. Compare that to your approximate method, which would…

Correct - where I am it is cheaper most of the year, a bit more expensive in the winter.
Fuel is sold by volume, which is why volumetric fuel efficiency is desirable to the consumer

You have an inbuilt assumption about the purpose of a street name. Compare it with addresses in Japan [1], where some streets don't even have names. I don't know anything about Pakistan, but i wouldn't be surprised if…

Knowing the average of 108 W wouldn't help with knowing your peak demand, as fridges vary significantly from off to startup to running, so knowing the average isn't useful in that situation either.
Aside from desiring a longer battery life, you'll likely be shocked to hear that some of us (non-iphone users) still use the Aux jack and the SD card slot too!
