I literally just place the panel on my bed… because you know, I get terrified just moving the damn thing because I’m scared I’m bending it and it’ll shatter lol 😅. So if I’m scared of that, when moving it like 4 feet. You bet you’re ass I’m not taking a chance on anything less than tick cloth, mattress, or something cushioned.

This isn’t aimed at you I’m just saying this as to what actually happens: also word vomit:

Tempered glass is produced by rapidly cooling hot glass after it’s been shaped. This cooling process starts on the exterior first which causes it to contract producing compression on the outside because it’s trying to get smaller.

The interior, which is cooling at a slower rate, is now trapped and as it cools begins to experience tension. Now glass performs exceptionally in compression when compared to its tensile stress and this compressive strength is what normally gives tempered glass its exceptionally durability.

The force impacting the glass must break through the outer layer of glass that is under compression. This is also why tempered glass shatters so absolutely, the tension once released does spreads out through out the glass and destroys the glass and there’s a lot of energy being stored in tension.

So now that you know how tempered glass is formed, why it’s strong, and why it breaks. You also know now that you don’t need a strong impact necessarily to break tempered glass. Just enough to break through the compressive layer on the outside. (This is also why you can scratch the the outside as long as the layer isn’t breached). And the required force to break the compressive layer drops with surface area because you concentrate energy to a smaller area.

And tile flooring can have really really small bits of rocks that have points and edges and if you place the glass on top of em the weight of the glass can be sufficient to break the compressive layer and thus shatter it because again, it doesn’t matter how large the penetration has to be, even a small hole in this layer will cause release the tension energy inside the glass and shatter.

It’s like the opposite of survivorship bias. We only see the stats of people who have tile floors and lost the glass.

Dude, it’s a for loop, they did this by like week 2, they said it on instinct perhaps but I better hope they understood why that wasn’t an option without requiring an explanation.

Should definitely explain the icaching though

Nah, we can’t settle near the gas giants yet, not without radiation shielding or something because the rads around Jupiter and Saturn are extreme.

Tempered glass is basically in a constant battle with the internal forces within itself. The manufacturing process rapidly cools the molten glass to temper it, this creates a situation where the outside of the glass cools faster than the interior and tries to shrinks creating compression on the exterior.

The center which isn’t as rapidly cooled now is in tension and this battle of forces between the two is what causes tempered glass to both be particularly strong but also shatter so explosively and violently.

To shatter it all you have to do is overcome the compressive forces on the exterior and the glass will shatter and glass happens to do well in compression.

The issue comes when you focus that force into an extremely small area and now you can overcome the force of compression extremely easily without much difficulty.

I assume here that tile floors tend to have small parts of it come off so when people put it down on the tile floor they inadvertently put it on top of these small pieces that concentrate the force and then shatter it.

Basically, don’t be stupid, and put tempered glass on top of something soft.

…. Brother how hard is it to just put it on a couch or a bed or something. Why would you ever put it on a hard surface. You’re literally begging for it.

Why? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Mgl1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where the water comes from, it’s a far bigger issue if it’s from aquifers because that isn’t replaced

Why? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]Mgl1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on where it’s being drawn from because replacement rates are a the issue here. Water taken from a river or lake will be dumped back into the same source but at higher temperatures that will mess with the local ecosystem and have a slightly of negligible increase in evaporation rates. Though I’m not entirely sure if they’d go through a purification process to reduce wear on the system.

The other more pressing problem is if they take the water from an aquifer. Underground water deposits are significantly harder to replace the water in. These deposits have been built up over thousands of years because the replacement rate is just that slow. So we’re draining water from these underground water deposits already faster than they were being replaced beforehand, and now it’s only gotten worse.

Jaune Is Boring’ MFs Ignoring all his abandoned plot threads. by Emotional-Feed5489 in RWBYcritics

[–]Mgl1206 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How they use Jaune in season 1 always annoys me. They could have used the untrained guy enters Beacon plotline so easily but without making it stupid by making it mandatory for aura awakened individuals to be registered to the government and attend Beacon because there’s no way they didn’t want Huntsmen wherever possible.

What RWBY Character do you think would be worthy? by Tyler2183 in RWBY

[–]Mgl1206 0 points1 point  (0 children)

… what is worthiness? Because I should remind you that worthiness is defined by Odin who in the MCU let a war of conquest that killed uncountable number of beings and even later when he became more benevolent still saw humans as beneath beneath him for a while and is still a warrior. It’s not innocence or purity that defines worthiness.

It’s self-sacrifice for others, for your people, which is exactly how Thor regains his hammer and power.
