    "Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.

      Just a suggestion, in private, I think you and your friends could help give some survival advice to the guy that owns the abandoned ghost town of Cerro Gordo, he runs a RUclips channel and I think some of these makeshift builds you and your friends make and that, you've got years of experience compared to him and I think it might be useful to him to get some friendly advice and help ☺️ I watch you both so 🤷‍♂️ it only just crossed my mind, that's all, just thought if he had some people he could text or call every now and again when he's trying to figure out a problem he's facing might be helpful that's all ☺️

    • @staceymarkum3873
      @staceymarkum3873 3 года назад +4

      Tempered glass is usually a high grade soda-lime glass and so is more susceptible to thermal fluctuations. Such glass also has a practical upper service temperature of about 200 C or maybe a little more. Common window and door glass that is tempered by salt bath treatment uses ion exchange to compress the outer surface. Before this method, tempering was done with heat where the glass is softened at a high temperature after it is formed into a sheet and then blasted with cold gas to chill the outside more than the inside. Such tempering can be done to more types of glass than the salt bath method which is most common. Pyrex tempered glass would not break as easily in a temperature change.
      (Found that answer on line from a NASA materials scientist)
