It has been said in the foreign press that I am the first Egyptian to govern Egypt since Cleopatra. Such words flatter but they do not align with our knowledge of our own history. For the sake of glorifying our own Blessed Movement, are we to say that the Fatimads were never Egyptian despite their centuries in Egypt? Do we now deny our kinship with the Ayyubids because of their origin even as we join Saladin's eagle with the Liberation Flag as the symbol of our Revolution? And what of the members of the Mohammed Ali dynasty? Should our grievances against the former King and the flawed and corrupt rulers before him blind us to the nationalism of Abbas Hilmi II, whose devotion to Egypt against the occupiers cost him his throne, or the achievements of Ibrahim Pasha, the very best of the dynasty, who himself declared that the Sun of Egypt and the water of the Nile had made him Egyptian? Are we now to go through the family histories of all Egyptians and invalidate those born to a non-Egyptian parent? If so, I must start with myself. It is fairer and more accurate to say that we are all Egyptians, but I am the first Egyptian to have been raised from the ranks of the people to the highest office to govern Egypt as one of their own. It is an honour and a sacred burden great enough without the embellishments that foreign observers would add to it.

That's a fair few of them though. I'm not too brushed up on Egypt, but I'm pretty sure the Roman Empire had a* capital outside Egypt, as did the Ottomans and the French.

I don't get why this is bad, it marks a percentage change from a baseline of 100. I guess they could've just done it as a flat percentage (starting from 0% change at 0)?

Simply listing the actual purity as a percentage would be more informative. That chart is technically fine though.

Wouldn't people who didn't get the baseline described just below the heading just be scratching their head because of 0% pure cocaine?

Either way, while baselines at 100% helps show the growth trend, anything is going to look kind of fucky when described as the ratio of the difference since graphs are already designed to do that.

The graph is already (probably) describing a listed percent (percent cocaine hydrochloride) so it would be better to list just that on the left column instead of the extra layer of obfuscation. Now, we're looking at a the ratio of a ratio which isn't strictly wrong but may be misleading? Im not really sure.

Purity of cocaine is expressed the same way as alcohol proof, so 140 proof is actually 70% pure cocaine :pseudo:

The “double the ABV” definition is stupid.

If using whimsical units, commit to the bit. 100 proof is the threshold of sustaining fire in black powder. Seventy percent alcohol is 122 proof. To get 140 proof, it has to be eighty percent.
