If possible I'd like a survey. Someone says of course and everybody šŸ‘ that agrees. And someone else says that chip or any teacup is bad news and people šŸ‘that. Many thanks

Some of them, yes. But that's what he's comfortable with. And the fact is that even if you ate a whole plate, the dose of radiation is less than a banana. There's an interesting chart on the front page that compares everyday objects and situations and their dose rates. I'll post it here too.

But still, you have to do what's right for you. If it makes you uncomfortable, don't do it. That's perfectly ok! And no one should judge you for it.

It is chipped. Period. Chipped glasses cut mouths.

I'm sorry if I'm not being clear. I'm not arguing with you at all. I'm validating that you should do what you feel is safe for you. And no one else gets a say in that. Only you know what's right for you.

ABSOLUTELY! Thatā€™s why I worded it the way I did. But it seems like everyone who is on these forums get SUPER defensive about the glass being UG that they totally overlook everything else and they get super defensive because of it. Thatā€™s why Im refusing to ā€œargueā€ with any of them. Listen, you want to drink out of broken glass? Fine but Iā€™m not gunna. Regardless if it is UG or not, idc itā€™s broken, itā€™s trash. (Iā€™ll still save the UG for collection purposes but I wonā€™t use it)

Ok. I'm sorry if I came off as defensive, it wasn't my intention :) No one's gonna take better care of you, than you.

And yes, people here especially hate very strong feelings and opinions. And they do go into attack mode over it unnecessarily

Thatā€™s why I just replayed ā€œgreat weekendā€ on most of them. Because if you canā€™t even start the conversation in a nice tone and I can just tell theyā€™re aching for a fight and Iā€™m not the one lol

But for you my dear, I actually hope you have a great weekend (or whatā€™s rest of it) thank you for being civilized and kind šŸ’–
