minus-squareyermaw@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoFor our purposes, 140 will do fine.
minus-squaremannycalavera@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoThis is a relative scale. 100 being the baseline.
minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoSo a random sample will contain 1.4 times as much coke, for 80% of the cost.
minus-squareslevinkelevra@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoNot one random sample but the average of all samples.
minus-squarefrank@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoPresumably 40% less non-coke inclusion. So if before it was 90% coke and 10% cut, it’d be 94/6
minus-squareRicaz@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 days agoSpecifically from around 40-50% to 70-80%. It’s impossible to get more than roughly 85-90% purity as that’s the purity they export.
minus-squareTar_Alcaran@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 days agoThat makes a lot more sense. Or the quality was originally absolutely terrible.
