Why the fuck is it that when a law is found to be unconstitutional, the state(s) are allowed to keep the law on the books but just can’t enforce it? I’d think part of such a decision would include a requirement to repeal the offending law.

I don’t think the comment you’re replying to was referring to shit as in fecal matter, but rather shit as in unknown potentially toxic substances.

Generally, when describing a thing, the unit is written as singular. “15 minute delay”, “10 foot pole”, “5 gallon bucket”. When referring the unit itself though, it would be plural: “a delay of 15 minutes”, “the pole is 10 feet long”, “this bucket holds 5 gallons”. I’m sure there’s a more precise way to say this, but hopefully it helps.

Doesn’t happen with spacecraft either, despite what Hollywood often depicts. In order to ‘stop’ in space, you actually have to generate thrust. The scary thing that can happen if you lose your engine in space isn’t getting stuck in one place, it’s smashing into your destination at full speed.

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.
