How Full is Your Glass?

[Chauncey Gardiner]

I was hoping for humor
So, please keep all comments coming. Funny to go off [what I thought of as] topic, and wind up with a better thread

Half full or half empty, doesn't matter. I have more beer in the fridge. :twothumbs

I say " who drank half of my beverage ?!"

 

[Beamhead]

The only time I perceive a problem is if the Dr. says I need you to fill this cup. :tinfoil:

 

[CyclingSalmon14]

Reading your post, I'd guess half filled three or four times. :drunk:Cheers mate,~ Chance

tis it truthath.

 

[Chauncey Gardiner]

tis it truthath.

See? That's why I stop posting when I'm enjoying my third beer.

Optimist sees it half full,
Pessimist sees it half empty,
I'm a Realist, if there is something in the cup.....drink it.

As long as it's not the cup your Doctor wanted you to fill.

Empty.....................rach crashed her car and mine wont start

 

[Str8stroke]

Glass is half empty and plate is always full.

 

[ACruceSalus]

My glass is in a box and I won't know how full it is until I open the box.

What it the name of my glass?

 

[PhotonWrangler]

Your glass is named Schrodinger.

 

[archimedes]

If the glass is completely full, then something is dropped into the glass and submerged, the amount that spills out is equal to the volume of the submerged item ... EUREKA !

-- Archimedes of Syracuse

Your glass is named Schrodinger.

Indeed, but I won't know how many times I can break it. Maybe 9.

Now now, if your being scientific, we can't simply drop a item in the glass..

We would have to place it in in a controlled and repeatable manner.

As drop implys any range of motions and the force can be selective, which could inherently lead to splashing and spillage, therefore "Dropping" the object in is now a unpredictable variable in the experiment, for which we would have to account for in our results, thus leaving some margin of erorr and uncertainty in out conclusions.

We can't used such methods unless we devise a controlled repeatable circumstance with minimal variables that can be accounted for and thus be able to discount these as outlier's in the results or taking these factor's into consideration when presenting our precise findings!

As it is we already have to contend with variables such as changes in media viscosity and density, temperature's and accuracy of measuring equipment, the list goes on!

Achhimedes would be very disappointed...

Er wut...LOL.

Ha! Good one.

 

[beerwax]

what glass ? you mean this plastic cup ?

 

[wreckless1]

Glasses ......glasses ????

We don't need no stinking glasses

 

[Taz80]

I don't know????? my head's spinning too much from this thread. And well I think I might have spilled, at least I hope I spilled.

 

[magellan]

Good question. But I'm basically a pessimist.

For example, I don't like glass--whether it's half full or whatever--it breaks too easily.

The typical Optimist/Pessimist question.
Is the glass half full or half empty?

My favorite reply is
"The glass is twice as big as it needs to be"

However I was listening to a [Sir] Terry Pratchett Discworld book, unfortunately I don't recall the title.
He said [any error in the quote is due to my faulty memory, but the idea is correct] "What happened to my drink, and my cup was much larger"

So, there are two replies. What replies do you know, or can come up with.

​I can't see it very well, let me shine my light on it. Oh, it boiled away, it's empty now. Oh, the glass melted
