Then & Now

Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever Valentine! twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
First photo is our first Valentine’s Day in 2008.

I had just gotten my license and took her on a big time “car date” to Ruby Tuesdays.

Quite romantic.
Someone made me an HD version of the digital camera pic from 2008.

Makes the hairdo even more pronounced.

😂😂😂
Took her to prom in 2009 looking like this.

This should give hope to anyone out there that doesn’t believe in the impossible.

🤣🤣🤣
Ok, one more...

Tough times don’t last, tough people do.

😜😜😜

Random question that I’m genuinely curious about: Why don’t commercial airplanes have an eject button?

Like a button that can be pressed if the plane is about to crash that shoots off the top and every seat ejects with a little parachute.

Is it a cost issue? Engineering impossibility?

I have to imagine people would pay more to know they had a better (say 80% higher) chance of survival in the event of a catastrophic failure.

Just something that I’ve always wondered about and now I want to know the answer to.
Even if you assume it still has some hazards and issues (in air collisions post ejection, parachute deployment issues, etc.) if you could get to 80% survival rather than ~0% survival in a catastrophic failure, I bet people would opt to fly a more expensive airline that had this.
The only logic I can think of is that it’s so rare that it’s not worth putting money behind fixing.

But if people would pay for it, why not?

The fear of crashes is outsized relative to their incidence, so I bet there’s a premium/margin to be made on offering this.
