My mother in-law is a lab scientist. She says this is accurate.

You don’t even know the half of it

I think they do know half of it.

Ah, it’s this time of the year again. linked-list (version 3)
wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Does this work?
If you looped it or created a doubly linked list what would happen?
zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Either perpetual motion, or a very wet desk, no in-between
reinei@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
This particular version wouldn’t work because the exit point is not lower than the entry point so after a possible initial splash from the first glass the outside air would rush in from the top of the straw and thus push down the water to its own level again…
So sadly no singly linked lists without stairs!

Sticky, Silky, and Danger Syrup! Sounds like a cool lab.

16M HNO3? Wouldn’t that be fuming?
Kroxx@lemm.ee 5 weeks ago
It’s technically like 15.7M , it’s the highest concentration you can get before you hit fuming (~70wt% iirc). Although anything you do with it after makes it fume like crazy anyway.

100% Full with 50% volume occupied by Dihydrogen monoxide molecules and 50% volume occupied by a mixture of molecules in gas form, colloquially refer as “air”, which contains, according to the statistical data recorded by analyzing the gas molecules in the air in the Earth’s Atmosphere, 78.08% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other trace gases.

Ahh found that label!:
99.985% Pure.
Nitrogen (N₂): 39%
Oxygen (O₂): 10.5%
Argon (Ar): 0.465%
Carbon dioxide (CO₂): 0.02%
Water (H₂O): 50%

I thought the half full, half empty thing. Was about the flow of water. If you’re emptying the glass, at some point the glass will be half empty. If you fill the glass, at one point the glass will be half full.
psud@aussie.zone 5 weeks ago
It’s a thought experiment with a static partly filled glass of water, it isn’t in a process. It is intended to show the different ways of describing the amount of water.

After a long romp, a fairly new g/f went into my kitchen, grabbed a 1 gal bottle of white vinegar from the fridge, poured herself a glass and tried to chugged it while I was still in bed recovering. -She had the nerve to think I tried to poison her (for half a minute)!
Read and use labels. lol
oxideseven@lemmy.ca 5 weeks ago
Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge? I keep the gallon jug in a cupboard and smaller container just on the counter
marcos@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Why do you keep vinegar in the fridge?
Imagine the trouble if it rots!
MataVatnik@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Loool, and do you keep sodium cyanide in your spice cabinet too?
madthumbs@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Probably a good idea for the winter since fresh apricot seeds would be scarcer. j/k
Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
How much vinegar do you use???
madthumbs@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s good for toilet bowl cleaner, weed killer (including poison ivy), wiping down a large cutting board (not used for meat), fruit and veg wash, descaling / removing water marks, rainbow stains or chrome / nickel residue in pans, it softens fabrics if added to laundry, is used for mayonnaise, salad dressings, sticky rice, deodorizing, and combined with baking soda has been the only thing that worked for a clogged drain. It’s also cheap in the gallon size and practically free for people on SNAP. (a lot)
nous@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
That beaker does not look half full to me. Many like 1/3rd full, or at least somewhere between that and half full.

Literalist: The volume of the container is ~50% water.
saltesc@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
There’s no approximation in literalism! If that glass isn’t a beaker, you find the nearest means to measure and.go to town. I’ll accept 1 thumb length of water to ait at 1 thumb length minus the thickness of a bank card and driver’s licence…
Fermion@feddit.nl 5 weeks ago
What’s in the uncharacterized volume?
RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Turns out it was FOOF.
CascadianGiraffe@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
It’s not ‘is the glass half full or half empty’.
The question is ‘why is the glass?’
Once you know this, the first question is easy to answer.

Backyard tinkerer and wannabe Engineer: I’ll just use this glass jar I used to drain some gas as the thing to drink my water now.
phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Not if you need to stir it.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks ago
a true engineer gets a mindworm and precisely calculates and trials the minimum size of glass needed to contain the liquid without spilling
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
Mechanic: The glass is not leaking. Returned to service.
