This is more effort than the road crews around here bother to put in... they just huck a shovelful of cold asphalt into the hole and let traffic do the tamping. Unsurprisingly their patches only tend to last a few months.

This is a whole thing now, it's lame as poo poo. Instead of actually properly repairing potholes, there's just a truck that they pull along the road which just sprays some bituminous adhesive into the hole and them dumps some gravel in on top.

I used to be a PennDOT inspector and if a crew tried to repair potholes like that they wouldn't have gotten paid, I'd have written it up as one giant nonconformance. You're supposed to cut that fucker square, lay down hot asphalt and compact it with a roller. Instead they literally just leave a pile of loose gravel in the middle of the road and call it finished.

I got stuck in awful traffic because of one of these earlier today. The “patches” it made were useless and the highway was covered in lovely asphalt gravel for miles. Completely useless :thumbsup:

Reminds me of this exhibition piece I saw a while back: it's a bike with a "cement roller" (paint can in a metal cage, actuated by the wheel). When you see a pothole, you dump it out. Rinse, repeat.

TBH, it feels like a much better/more efficient solution than that crappy bitumen-spaying truck.

I thought beavers usually slow down water height variations. They're aquatic animals after all, wouldn't be good if their little pond went up and down a lot.

Although I think they do tend to make the water a bit more wandering.

The "fluctuating" water level here is likely to mean "a small depression you would have walked through is now a lake".

From what I understand, the sound of flowing water is like nails on a chalkboard for beavers and they will never stop trying to plug holes. Eventually the dam breaks due to poor inspection practices and they start all over again.

Does OSHA apply to small-time youtubers? This poo poo goes from not too bad, out thrashing the trails, to doing high speed pit maneuvers on public roads with no safety equipment or windows.

Dethlinger Teich: More finds than expected - Meyer visits

The Dethlinger pond near Munster is being cleared since October. Significantly more explosive ordnance has already been found than expected. Environment Minister Christian Meyer (Greens) is visiting the company that is disposing of the finds today.

Meyer is accompanied by the district administrator of the district of Heidekreis, Jens Grote ( independent). The two will also sign a further financing agreement during the visit. For such large projects, the money is only ever paid out in stages, explained the Ministry of the Environment.

According to the district, the fifth agreement, which is being signed today, will secure the work until the planned completion in 2027. 72 million euros have been earmarked for the Dethlinger Teich, according to the ministry. 18.3 million euros of this will be provided by the state, with the remainder coming from the federal government.

In the first one and a half metres - that is the first layer - significantly more has already been found than had been expected, according to the Heidekreis. By the end of February, 20,000 detonator charges, 300 grenades and ammunition scrap had been found. Chemical weapons were not yet among them, but are also suspected in the pond. Despite the finds, the project is on schedule and on budget, according to the Heidekreis. Over the next five years, seven more such layers are to be removed by the specialists in Munster.



Corn rows 50 meters away from suspected chemical weapons and other fun stuff, nbd.

No, instead of a motor there's a little wheel at the other end of the paddle where you can let the shrimp or chicken run in which let's them fry the rice.
