Except for the fact that you would be dead within a few seconds and would never know what's it like to survive the fall impact.
The average temperature of Venus's atmosphere at the surface is around 462 degrees Celsius (864 degrees Fahrenheit), making it the hottest planet in our solar system due to a strong greenhouse effect caused by its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere; this temperature remains relatively consistent day and night.

Yeah they do but it took me a minute. Those flat metal pieces go through a slot in the bottom horizontal bar. If you slide either of them out you can slide the bar out. Both locks need to be secured to prevent sliding them out.
Only non-witches get due process.

... and you can spin the shaft to slide the bar out.

So it would seem, but you can't slide the bar out from the bottom. The hasp is in the way. So again, the bottom two don't do anything.

I will never understand the fascination with expensive watches. Janet had a Rolex when we me. It was beautiful but needed a tune-up every two or three years at $300 a pop, and that was 30 years ago. I haven't spent $300 on watches in my life.
Again, there is a qualitative experiential difference between a Mercedes S class and an 88 (red) Corolla. two o'clock is 2 o'clock on a Rolex or a Timex.

What’s the qualitative difference between an $30 pendant and a $30K pendant?
