Thanks. So was it like the safety glass in a car window? My great fear is that it explodes in shards. Did the bowl give any warning that it was going to shatter, or did it just go boom all of a sudden? I hope you didn't get injured!
I'm probably overthinking this, due in large part to generalized anxiety about covid and work and life ...
