You remember these glasses from your last trip to #France, I guess.

[waltertross@mastodon.online]

@jwildeboer They should fix their translations, though. Can't tell about Dutch, but all other languages except French are wrong ("lot de 6" → "lot of 6" instead of "set of 6", etc.)

The replies in this thread have been filled with positivity and support. I thank you all for that! It made a difference to me and hopefully many more Santé!

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@raspberryswirl No. These are tempered. You are looking for borosilicate glass

[bascht@social.yakshed.org]

@jwildeboer ghasped at the price and it took me way too long to notice the "lot of 6" — that's actually reasonably priced

[slotos@toot.community]

@steve @jwildeboer @dascandy If they last forever, I won’t need to replace them under any other economic system.

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@slotos They do break, given enough force But there are still billions of people that do not have them in their inventory, so enough possibilities for them to grow a sustainable, workers oriented business @steve @dascandy

[gurre@mastodon.nu]

@jwildeboer oooh. This makes my list of policies I'd make law if voted planetary governor: workers get first dibs to create a worker cooperative if they want before vulture capitalists can have a go.

@jwildeboer I love colorful glasses. No risk of mixing up at parties.

[marcel@waldvogel.family]

@nicolegoebel @jwildeboer
As long as you still have enough brains to remember the color 🫣

BTW: Do you know where to get then in Switzerland?

@Gurre @jwildeboer maybe drop them a line to know about their resellers. For example Manufactum is a German company shipping internationally (they have the Picardie model in various size)

@jwildeboer remember how Duralex started, early '70 ties?
Making glass to absorp the huge amounts of surplus heat from the nuclear reactors..

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@denkster Duralex was founded in 1945, not the 1970s.

@Maker @Gurre @jwildeboer
Manufactum was founded by someone supporting the right-wing extremist German party AfD (and previously others, IIRC). It is now part of the Otto empire.

I think purchasing there would contradict the spirit of the story.

[maker@secretbearsociety.org]

@PiiiepsBrummm @Gurre @jwildeboer waaaaaaaat, that’s horrible! I had no idea about this (side note: how can I find out about those things?)

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

@whreq Thank you for sharing! Now we know what the numbers on the bottom mean

[jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net]

And here's a video (in French) telling the story and showing the people and the factory via @whreq (it also explains the mystery of the number on the bottom https://hsnl.social/@whreq/113297874659983802
