A spoonfulla cocaine helps that medicine go down...

[–] averagedrunk@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago

Plus it makes you more confident and better looking.

10% alcohol, cannabis and chloroform. Sounds like a very long night's sleep after a small cup

How much antimony is too much antimony?

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The top tax rate

[–] uphillbothways@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago

More importantly though, how much is enough?

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Is it 7*(1-2) = 7 to 14grs, or 7+(1-2) = 8 to 9grs?

Also love the range of potential error. Plus or minus 1gr? Eh, it's fine.

It was defined such that 252.458 units would balance 1 cubic inch (16 cm3) of distilled water at an ambient air-water pressure and temperature of 30 inches of mercury (100 kPa) and 62 °F (17 °C) respectively.

Nice and convenient.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 8 points 2 years ago (3 children)

So "7 1-2" should be read as 7.5? Do you know if there is a difference between "grs" and "GRS"?

[–] Zron@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Considering the active ingredients seem to be listed in bold, I think it’s safe to assume that it was just simpler to use all caps for one part of the label and lower case on the other half.

GRS probably stands for grains. A grain in 1/7000th of a pound, so these is actually not that much per serving. Unless this is using British Imperial Units, which are different from American standard Units. If it’s British imperial, I don’t know how much this is meant to mean.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 5 points 2 years ago

Found some pics. Definitely 7 and 1/2.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Agreed. It sent me digging.

An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7 with a terminating decimal representation, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.79891 milligrams.

Pound(mass)

The Avoirdupois entry had a good visual representation as well as more weights history.

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

[–] morhp@lemmy.wtf 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The "q. s." remains a mystery though.

q.s. means quantum satis and is Latin for "as much as necessary". Which means they add enough for the right consistency or flavour or whatever, but the exact amount isn't given and might vary.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Gotcha. Terrifying.

[–] schmidtster@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Big words big GRS, little words little grs. The GR and GRS is what should be questioned.

[–] LongbottomLeaf@lemmy.nz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That makes sense. And the q. s.

[–] Orbituary@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah. Lack of standard notation or standardized font for ingredients. No regulations in ppace for legibility.

[–] Ultraviolet@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Oh, not grams. I thought the dosage seemed high.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Nobody ever drove me to school when it was 90 degrees below

We had to walk butt-naked through 40 miles of snow

Worked in the coal mines 22 hours a day for just half a cent

Had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent

[–] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Replace coal mining with flipping burgers at mc Donald's and that's just today

Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad, our neighbors septic tank was the closest thing we had!

[–] HeapOfDogs@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

After being sick with a terrible cough and realizing that the only good cough suppresent is a controlled substance I bet this shit worked great.

“uphill both ways” is a lot funnier if you interpret it as being really blasted

[–] figjam@midwest.social 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I wonder what this stuff tasted like

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

It probably tastes like nothing because it instantly numbed your tongue.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Can't taste anything when you're instantly unconscious

[–] GoosLife@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I would genuinely love to try this one day. I just want to know what it's like.

[–] Okkai@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Same. It sounds like a good time

[–] nixcamic@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

If you have cannabis and morphine do you really need everything else?

grs. is grains, not grams. 1 grain is about 1/15 gram, or 65mg.
