>>I see a glass designed by a mechanical engineer, with a hefty safety factor.
If it were IT, I'd see a whole room full of Rube Goldberg machinery to modernize the challenge of transferring fluid to lips. Anybody who still relies on glass vessels is afraid of learning, has their head in the sand and deserves scorn.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
