Good call. Their bio says it's a bot account that reposts things once per hour...

I had seen the glass-ceramic thing before; I just forgot about it. Ever since PC building became a hobby and glass-sided PCs became a thing, there have been cases of people putting the big glass side panel on their tile floor and having it explode. Not sure why it happens!

I've made it successfully other times. Also, glass is a ceramic, I guess?

I have thoughts on doing this in real life... I just think it's so cool it's been in sci-fi for so long. I also thought the book was older! (For no reason). I also think it's probably not 24/7 in the book. No clue what their day/week timing is.
