    Move the upright mug upwards in a quick jerky motion so the water spills upward,
    Quickly place the bowl where the mug used to be to catch the water.

    12% of the time it works every time

    Lay a chopstick, straw, or other kitchen stick across the rim of the mug, and surface tension will guide the liquid along it into the container. Chem lab technique I learned in high school

    I think this is what you're using? But anyways, thanks for the screenshot. I have been looking for an app like that to do quick drawings

    Pro-tip: hold a chopstick upright against the cup rim to guide it down into the container you're pouring into

    I like this! Side note, I used to be a section man on the railroad and am very familiar with a "Track Shovel". The old name for railroad sectionmen was "Gandy Dancers". Not sure of the origin. Anyways, did you used to level and align the tracks?

    Either pour or do not pour. There is no try.

    Like seeing a hawk dive on a rabbit hiding in the brush where a single mistake could condem the hawk to a slow death, that is not bravery. That is total commitment to the task at hand.

    Wide circular openings are terrible to pour from. If you are planning to pour something, ideally start it in a container with a spout - a built-in feature with the same effect as the straw or chopsticks other comments mention. If no spouted vessel is available, picking a vessel with the smallest opening possible is next best.

    Jokes on the cup, I just pour from the bottom edge.
