A Cool Guide Equality, Equity, And Justice: Breaking It Down Differently
Equity is what the German health insurance system tries to achieve: Everybody pays the same % of their wages (14,7 if I am not mistaken) into the insurances, but everybody receives the treatment they need, independent from how much you put in. The system is not flawless, of course, because of many reasons. One of them is that higher wages can opt out (they may not return if the wages drop!) and lower wages are more impacted by a percentage than higher. The Dutch try a different approach, everybody pays the same for basic cover (no opt out).
Research has shown that humans naturally process information with visual input. It’s why it is easier for us to read instructions with photos and graphics than in text blocks.
According to the National Library of Medicine (NLM), articles with a visual abstract are three times more likely to draw views.

Experts in the digital industry consider infographics as effective marketing tools. SEO and keyword research platform Semrush defines them as a “compelling blend of visual data and minimalistic text.”
In digital marketing, infographics tell stories. The goal is to turn “complicated” information into something visually appealing and easily understood.

A Cool Guide To How Long It Takes For Things To Decompose
Aluminium will not go away, since it's an inert metal (its affinity towards oxygen just creates protective layer, but otherwise it's the same thing). Good stuff with aluminium is that it's fully recyclable and reusable. But since it's cheap, we don't bother recycling it as much as we should...
A Cool Guide To The Average Cost Of Insulin Per Country
Many of the Cool Guides on this list contain data and scientific information. As NLM points out, you can deliver them to a broad audience by creating visuals catering to non-specialists.
This means avoiding too much technical jargon. But if you must include such details, make sure to provide context.
A Cool Guide For Berries

A Cool Guides Tips For Police Encounters
"A Cool Guides Tips For Police Encounters in the USA" you mean
Yes. One necessary condition for an authoritarian leader to stay in power is to have the support of the police and military. One of my fears in the US is how much support Trump and MAGA have from the police and service members.
Load More Replies...But again, remember, if the police think someone is in danger they can go in without a warrant.
It's too bad we need this education. Would be nice to have a police service that is there to help, not be predatory.
I think this is a case of attitude. If you act aggressive you get it returned. Be respectful and act like reasonable adults.
Load More Replies...If I had a home in the US I would install a small open-able window in the door, just big enough to fit my face, to speak with people outside.
Do it via a video system and don't open the door at all.
Load More Replies...One sure fire way to avoid this kind of situation is FOLLOW THE LAW. Then you won't have to worry about being stopped being searched or you home searched. Only the 'Guilty mind' finds ways to hinder the laws. I have nothing to hide or illegal property and a thorough and quick access for the place, just clears me faster which is what I want.
This assumes I have something to hide. Being the worlds most boring person, they can come on in
Ok, let's be real here...by what the world seems to be increasingly seeing in latter years, for some ethic groups and socio-economic groups, this is more a list of ways to get you arrested, beaten or killed by a U.S. law official, because I've seen these things get completely ignored and punished, and it's become a daily occurrence too. Add to that the number of trigger happy policemen you now seem to have, and the reality of saying the things on this post to a lawmen these days in the States, as unfortunate as it is, has got to be putting your life in your own hands
Is this before or after you get shot and / or tased?? (US here)
My humour is so dark I'm scared of going to America and getting stopped by the police.
Sadly this is more for people living in high-crime areas, minorities, and the poor.
you know about abusive arrest and face control, right?
Load More Replies...Fun fact: where I live, having a drivers license means you have automatically consented to a breathalyzer test, and if you refuse, you can be arrested. God bless America /s
Also, I just want to add that this is nice, but unfortunately it doesn’t always work out, especially if you’re a racial minority or otherwise on the fringes, so to speak. I would also add to the car thing, always keep your hands on the wheel in clear view, and move slowly, announcing what you are doing, ex. “I am opening the glove compartment to retrieve my license and registration.” And always always always, do not volunteer ANYTHING. You don’t have to say anything except “I invoke my right to remain silent and my right to have a lawyer present,” and then clam up.

The cultural norm on jaywalking is more like "if kids are watching, wait until it's green, otherwise just go". But we're indeed more hesitant to just go than other European countries
Getting to that sweet spot of images, charts, and texts is key to an infographic’s aesthetic appeal. There must be a balance between data visualizations, words, and pictures.
Experts advise limiting small texts to titles that stand out. Annotations should be concise, and bullet points should be used to enumerate items.

A Cool Guide To The Number Of Animals Slaughtered Per Day On A Global Scale
Is there a chart of how much meat per animal is tossed every day? Separate for "could not be sold" and "customer didn't eat it and forgot to use the freezer". Killing animals for food is not always and in general bad, but if you kill it, you have to eat it. Otherwise it is not only an economical stupid thing to do, but foremost a crime against animals and abusing nature.
