The press is just helping it do what it already wants to do, giving it a nudge. I wonder how much heat was generated when that press got ruined (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5749382&forum_id=2).#49095068) |

Date: July 12th, 2025 5:25 PM Author: sticky state foreskin It's not stronger than glass. This is like putting your foot on the gas your the car is already rolling downhill. The glass was already trying to compress inward itself due to the fact that the surface cooled and contracted while the interior was still hot liquid (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5749382&forum_id=2).#49096364) |

"It's not 'stronger' than the other material it was being smashed up against, it just better withstood the pressure that was created as a result. You idiot."
Wow! |

"Just because this car beat the other car in a race doesn't make it 'faster,' bro. Educate yourself." |

Date: July 12th, 2025 5:29 PM Author: sticky state foreskin Ok you're right, glass is stronger than steel. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5749382&forum_id=2).#49096373) |

In this case, yeah it sure seems that way IMO (AFAIK). |
