Nothing about the execution of the presentation of this data is “beautiful”

You’re missing the point.

When the range starts at 0%, it’s misleading/disingenuous to have that range represented with any shade of green. Maybe a pale yellow or something similar is more apt.

You could have just put it as "difference to fastest car", which is a common way to display track times anyway.

As someone who works in finance, I couldn’t agree with you more on this. This is way beyond stupid and causes confusion. I was looking at a way to interpret this as the age of forests.

The way that blue and green a adjacent made me read it as “Sailor moon by Andy Bernard” and my mind was ready to accept this

Me too. My brain got stuck on it for way to long. I saw “forest cover” and the green shades, and everything was clear until half a second later I see “%age”. It took me at least a minute to recover what I immediately understood before. I think everyone got irritated by that, the comment section is hilariously angry.

My point is that I'm making fun of you for being one those red pill/mgtow weirdos. I thought that was pretty obvious.

Data unclear what you are measuring

Land to % covered by trees? How is Forrest defined?

This display does not lead to answering or generating questions to a problem. My questions are all about what us being measured.

Some suggestions. Color has been covered. Yellow to green would make the graphics pop.

Be precise in your labels and add notes as needed. Take time to figure out what the data is communicating

I have data that has to give both the count of the widget and the percent per day of hiw many times the minimum widget count was met per day. Took me a long time to figure out how to label clearly.

We need a payoff rate on this. “Millions per year of marriage!”

Imagine not having to suck Jeff Bezos' dick anymore AND getting $40 billion! Living the fucking dream!

Seriously, I thiugh it was a graph about age of Forests

I’m just popping in to confess that “%age” made me viscerally and anomalistically angry

Cool infographic! If I were you I’d definitely avoid using old-style figures alongside capital letters. The capital M in the second paragraph sticks out like a sore thumb and honestly I can’t unsee it. You could use a small cap M to make it more comfortable to the eye.

Also that whole paragraph just repeats information that is already clearly conveyed in the graph and it feels redundant. It would be more useful to use that space to make the graph bigger or replace that text with something that tells us information that we already don’t know by looking at the graph.

At least show the vertical axis was shortened; otherwise you make 40bn about 10% more than $6.2

Ketamine is very variable in terms of side effects depending on the doses you use. I doubt it would be good for long term use but acutely it is awesome because it remains cardiovascular stable so it's great for trauma patients who have lost loads of blood, it's a bronchodilator so it's great for asthmatics and you don't have as much respiratory/airway loss like other anaesthetic induction agents. But that is all from a general anaesthetic dosing point of view.

At lower doses I've used it for dressing changes on burns patients and for manipulating kids dislocated limbs. You give a small dose, wait for them to go into a sort of fugue state and then pop the shoulder back in.

It is associated with the potential for profound hallucinations and increased salivation though. It provides a dissociated consciousness. One patient described it as like he was watching what we were doing to him as if it was like watching a TV show. No pain at all but it didn't feel real. Some hate that feeling, some don't care.

Again though I suspect long term use, which I am not familiar with,comes with side effects and problems.

Nerve blocks can last between a few hours and a full day. Depends on what you use, where it is used and how much. But it's labour intensive. Not really something that can be done every day. Plus there is alway the risk that the needle causes damage to the nerve if the person isn't careful with it.

A few places for chronic pain give IV lidocaine infusions. You come in for a few hours, get the infusion with monitoring. Then go home the next day. Again labour intensive and so often the funding isn't available to have it in many locations.

The best therapies in terms of long term benefits are usually physiotherapy and psychology. Ultimately if a pain becomes a chronic pain, the neural pathways alter and essentially don't work how they should do. Therefore removing the pain entirely often becomes impossible and those two therapies help the most because they help the patients accept and deal with the pain so they can get on with life. Unfortunately many patients are unwilling to accept this reality and believe there is a magic cure, a silver bullet, a perfect pill that sorts everything out.

15$/hr is more than 95% of people make in the world so whats your point?

Most of these people aren’t really celebrities, they’re just rich.

Yeah what is with all the negative comments on this? Making graphs is hard give the guy a break

Well no, it's 19% because it is 0-20 percent non inclusive, so for clarity they put in 19.99%

On which days do nations have their public holidays? I was wondering if nations tended to cluster along certain dates and time periods when it comes to public holidays. I made a calendar heatmap of the public holidays of the UN member states in 2022.
The 3 most celebrated public holidays, based on the gregorian calendar, are:
- New Year's Day (Jan 1st): public holiday in 156 countries.
- Christmas (Dec 25th): public holiday in 121 countries.
- Labor Day (May 1st): public holiday in 121 countries.

Sources:
- United Nations Member States (www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states)
- Holiday API (holidayapi.com)

Tools:
- Python for data collection
- Google BigQuery, SQL for data preparation and analysis.
- R, and RStudio for creating the chart.
- Pixelmator for the last visual touches.

P.S: new comment as first one didn't show up.

Yes, rank order, but without unit notation so you have to implicitly assume the rank order (order direction) and rank upper/lower limit and interval. So yeah half baked rank order.

%age is “percentage?” You could just write % and it would be fine.
