If you like this thread, you’ll love Ian McEwan’s novel Solar, hillairious farce!!

Fascinating. But still, I was trying to say that an ice cube (sitting above water level on top of another cube) does indeed weigh and displace more than one that has melted and is in fact not there anymore.
My pea brain can't explain my truth and yours....I'm sure someone can.

”when the solid part above the surface of the scotch melts the level of liquid in the glass will rise”
Sorry that’s not how this works. Ice floats b/c it expanded. Simple grade school science. The level of liquid will drop. Especially when the proper etiquette is exhibited and the scotch is consumed!

Only because the one cube is resting on the other.
If they’re both floating, the level will not rise.

Next party, freeze a bottle in a half gallon paper milk container filled with water.
To use, run under warm water a bit, peel off the paper, set it out on a plate surrounded by rock glasses. Must be emptied before ice has melted.

That photo of the 5-liter bottle of rotgut always makes me smile. After all, if it’s going to taste like windshield washer fluid or antifreeze, may as well package it appropriately.

I meant that the researcher was looking for work because he would be fired for not spouting the usual nonsense about global warming being the cause for all things perceived as bad. Personally I love the idea of glaciers floating around. I spend a lot of time on the beaches of New Hampshire and a glacier floating by would be quite scenic.

Considering a cost benefit analysis, which is less expensive: a desalinization plant, or towing an iceberg?

“is roughly in balance with its surroundings, despite experiencing strong surface melt in summer.” What the hell does that mean?
