I don’t know if poopreport still exists, but if you’re really interested in creative words for shit, that site is/was an absolute gold mine.

“It’s called colorized hyperspectral X-ray imaging with multi-metal targets, or CHXI MMT for short,” said project lead Edward Jimenez, an optical engineer

This guy isn’t allowed to name things anymore.

I’m an ls -alh guy, myself.

I’d say we’re fully in agreement then. I certainly didn’t mean to imply that adding difficulty alone was somehow automatically virtuous. It’s maybe better to say there’s virtue in doing some things the hard way.

I’m actually really curious to hear your definition of virtuous! For me, it’s the ‘has an overall positive effect’ definition, not the wishy-washy ‘moral’ one.

There’s a distinct difference between doing something “the hard way” and adding unnecessary complications. “The hard way” is just a faster way of saying “without all the modern conveniences.” New York to Maine the hard way would be walking rather than driving.

I’ve camped there, it’s pretty nice!

We definitely whip shitties in WI, too.

For those wondering, this played out well! OP found someone to take the job. His wife bit on the prank gleefully, was actually thrilled by the idea that OP had a son he didn’t know about. When the prank was revealed, she thought it was hilarious. Ultimately pretty wholesome, OP married a keeper.

You don’t even have to passive voice it - a simple “I felt upset” is fully valid without assigning blame.

Have you looked into Ubiquiti equipment? They’re generally pretty solid, and might have everything you need.

It still falls back onto the driver, as they chose to start driving without everyone buckled in.

Nice.
