    This glass has a safety factor of 2

    Re: good engineer: this is the thing that frustrates me amount marketing/labeling for travel mugs or cookware; the listed capacity is the absolute brim capacity not the practical capacity. Want to put 16 oz in a 16 oz mug you’re gonna have to sip 3 ounces out first in order to put the lid on. Want to serve 2 qt soup? Gotta use the 3 qt pot.
