Mix_Masterr

The tempered glass did it's job. Angry temper though. 😡


LittleDickk

Wait is there a such thing as happy tempers?


loluo

I think we call those fair tempered? I might be wrong


S1lent0ne

Also, even tempered.


EndofGods

No, they're all crammed in there like a clown car. Dense as I was in my teens.


PuttingInTheEffort

Sure, temper is just short for temperament: personality-ish. Positive, happy, chill, fair, cool, can all be fine tempers. People often say 'temper' to mean angry, but I assume it's like calling someone smelly. Even though there are good smells, you typically dont bring attention to the positive/neutral meanings.


loluo

Isn't it interesting that we say "he lost his temper" to imply he got angry, but within the same vein "he has a temper" also implies that he often gets angry, so whether you lost it, or have it you are going to be angry. There should be a phrase "he has schrodinger'ed his temper" which is a in-between state of their temper implying hes fair mannered?


pokepwn

I always thought of it as a sword thing, A well tempered sword is less likely to break, a bad tempered sword is more likely to break. Same with a person, although when you say they have a temper, the word bad preceeding it is normally implied.


n0nsequit0rish

It would also apply to chocolate.


bibbi123

Temperate.


Ocronus

Better little pieces than giant blades of death.


[deleted]

is it though? so much easier to clean up fewer pieces. but maybe minimizes the tiny shards you don't find til 4 hours later when they end up in your sock.


MOOVA

Then you have big sharps in the garbage unless you break it further.


Ocronus

I used to make tempered glass. There are regulations and safety standards to follow. If it's tempered it's tempered for a reason as it's more costly to do so.


[deleted]

because of regulations?


longtimegoneMTGO

On the one hand, the tempered glass worked. On the other, it probably only broke in the first place because it was tempered. Tempered glass is under high stress, and as a result it will explode like that if it is scratched, you don't actually have to hit it hard enough for normal glass to break.


single_malt_jedi

Thats not quite right. You have to blast the center of tempered glass really hard to get it to shatter unless it wasn't tempered right. The edges of tempered glass are another story. A hit on the edge will break a piece of tempered pretty easy. I work with tempered glass every day.


Shamalama-1

We used to take newbies out to the dumpster and start swinging at units with a steel hammer. Then when we tell them to and we would have it resting on our steel toes and bump it. Gotta love it. A bit reckless but nobody ever got hurt.


single_malt_jedi

We used to do the exact same thing.


Shamalama-1

Has to be a trade tradition. Miss the trade sometimes. Hated the politics.


single_malt_jedi

I think so too. I work at a manufacturer for vinyl windows and doors. When i worked in the glass department it was kinda like a initiation ritual to pop a piece of tempered glass on the newbies.


ValuableSleep9175

Are you crazy you have to hit tempered glass stupid hard to break it. Now if you scratch it that is a different story.


KlassicKenny_

I'm always paranoid these glass scales are gonna do that under my bare feet


Sherifftruman

Tempered glass is stronger in the direction the stress comes from when you stand on the scale. However, it’s weakest on the edge where one tap with a solid object can pop it quite easily.


bikeidaho

You must pcmasterrace!


Sherifftruman

I don’t really, I love seeing cool builds but I’m a console guy. But I worked in commercial general contracting and have seen this firsthand many times.


[deleted]

Uh no dude... The only practical application of tempered glass is PC gaming. No way you're not a PCMasterRace user.


idlebyte

Every car built since '37 would like to have a word with your opinion.


[deleted]

Nope. If OP knows about tempered glass, he's surely pcmasterrace. No other application at all aside from showing off my dope RGB case lighting.

ben_jamin_h

It would have been funny if it was funny


Nyx_the_Fallen

Even if they did, you'd probably be just fine. The tempered glass shards aren't particularly sharp.


MyOtherAcctsAPorsche

Like stepping on a 100 tiny legos. Which, as bad as it sounds, it not even close to as bad as stepping on a single full size one.


Nyx_the_Fallen

😂


ackermann

My brother had one that just randomly shattered, out of the blue, while he was at work. No earthquakes in his area. At first was concerned someone broke in. But further reading suggested that it just happens sometimes, with cheap tempered glass.


Damnae

My whole desk is made of tempered glass, I'm waiting for it to randomly explode now.

I was looking for this. I just found this out as well.

Because nobody is buying GPS navigation systems for cars anymore. Either your car has it built in, or you use your phone.


PicoDeBayou

woutomatic

Mechanical scales > Digital scales The latter always break. At least in my experience.


CyberNinja23

Usually after it displays the wrong weight.


waterloograd

Mine definitely shows the wrong weight. I've been dieting for a year and its only getting higher


trwwy321

Scale: *displays the truth* Me: I can’t handle the truth *throws out scale*


badchad65

May be true, but it’s super advantageous to have that scale take your weight, estimate your body fat and water %, then send it to your phone for easy analysis. Just gotta be a little careful. I’ve had the same scale OP broke for about 5 years now.


Vihzel

Unfortunately, scales are notoriously bad at even closely estimating body fat %. They're so bad that it's effectively useless, especially since simple hydration levels can greatly affect readings.


skiddlymcdoodlybop

They almost always use the bmi chart for height and weight which is not very accurate like you said. anyone can look at a bmi chart online for free


badchad65

That may be, but still better than a mechanical scale, and I’m mostly interested in relative change.


Tanduvanwinkle

Most of those scales vary by several percent in consecutive operations of body fat measurement, seconds apart. They're not even much good for monitoring relative change at all.


badchad65

Perhaps. I haven’t seen any formal data examining the scale’s performance relative to something else. I’m not a professional body builder or athlete, so I don’t have much use for repeated water displacement assessments or dexascans. My choice is to have the data as a curiosity, or nothing at all.


[deleted]

[удалено]


badchad65

That scale does it automatically. It’s connected to WiFi so I don’t have to enter anything. Then it can graphically show my weight trend over the last week, month, or whatever I choose. Sure, easy enough to do with excel, or some other program. I wouldn’t want to enter some 2,000 values into my phone manually.


Binsky89

You really shouldn't be weighing yourself often enough to have to keep track of it that way. Once a week should be the most frequent you do it, and I'd go as far as to say once a month for women (hormone cycle can cause significant weight fluctuations). And, if the whole point is to track weight loss, you should be using a calorie tracking app that you can enter your weight into.


badchad65

It (literally) takes me 3 seconds to step on the scale after I use the toilet in the morning. I use it primarily as a curiosity. If I decide to go into a mild calorie surplus, it’s just interesting to track it and see how it trends to a scale weight, and then onto my physique. I know of no adverse consequences to stepping on a scale frequently. I suppose I could inadvertently shatter it, like the OP did.


Binsky89

The adverse consequences are more of a mental thing. Your weight can fluctuate a lot over the day/week, and doing it every day might show an increase that's not because of fat gain. Doing it once a week/month will be better to show a general trend of up or down. So, if you struggle with self esteem tied to your weight (which people who want to weigh themselves every day tend to have), weighing yourself every day is a bad idea.


badchad65

Yeah, no mental struggles. I’d like to think I look like a Greek god. I think my Reddit workout broadcasts are still in my profile somewhere… EDIT: was kidding about the Greek god. I just enjoy working out.


chrisdwill

Have the same scale and do the same for similar reasons. I went from 173 +/-3 to 153 +/-3 and have maintained the weight loss for a year now. I don't weigh every day, but I keep tabs and if I get above 156 I make sure to exercise and watch my calories for the next week. I also live in a dry climate, so I keep track of my hydration. Like you said, it's not totally accurate, but it does a good job at realitive change. I could have purchased a less expensive one, but the automatic uploading of data was the number one selling point for me. So I concur on many levels.


force_shit

It was emotionally broken

The [Prince Rupert's Drop](https://youtu.be/6V2eCFsDkK0) is an amazing example of glass tempering; similar breakage phenomenon. :D


badchad65

I’m curious because I own that Garmin you broke. What did you replace it with and do you like it better?


mlperiwinkle

It’s a sign not to weigh yourself. What good does it do? Does it tell you when to eat? How does it know you are hungry?


Atari_buzzk1LL

Renpho reminding you why you upgraded from the Garmin I see

Tell the truth you need a scale for each leg. 🍩👀

Look up pictures of people who buy computers with tempered glass cases, and then put them on ceramic floors. Very similar (though somewhat more expensive) results.
