Cocoa Crispies posted:yeah this is why modern ejection seats are set up with a parachute, so instead of when you eject you splorp right back down in the plane you just ejected from, the parachute makes your seat slow down while the plane keeps going, so you end up behind it i imagine the parachute probably stops you from hitting the ground too, but i don't know much about this besides the basics

First you wanted to be on the ground. Then you wanted to be in the air. Then you wanted to be on the ground again but get there really slowly.

I feel like job openings would be the easiest metric to game and thus the charade they'd keep going longest, judging from my interview experiences with other doomed tech companies

They'll tell HR to keep the door open until they can't. HR is also probably one of the last departments to find out I bet.

Sagebrush posted:iirc the first ejection seats used a 40mm blank cannon shell and the back of the seat had a tube that slid over the "barrel" of the ejection mechanism, shooting you out of the plane like a mortar This is why old people are awesome. Nowadays kids want warning labels on everything and not to get mortared out of a moving airplane

lol, there's a hojillion CPO BMW i3s for absolutely nothing right now. You could buy one of those for the same cost as 2 years of finance payments on a Model 3 and it actually has a service network.
