Soup

Hot hot soup

fuck if it’s this easy why do they close the goddamn road for like five months shit

all outta soub 😦

I work for the road crew in the summer. Crack sealing (the process you see above) is fairly quick and simple. (Though holding a hose that pumps literal tons of 350F tar into the road in the middle of the summer is NOT easy)

I think what a lot of people underestimate is just how much road there is in your city. And just how many directions the crew gets pulled.

For our city of around 50k people there are 8 of us.

Also, crack sealing is a wholly temporary measure, meant to slow the break-up of the roads, it’s not a permanent fix.

Roads tend to get closed for months on end because we have to tear the whole thing up, then, depending on the class of road, we either have to hammer-drill into concrete to lay rebar and the pour concrete, or we can get straight to paving. If it’s a road requiring concrete we’re required to wait at least 24 hours for it to set.

So after 2 days we’re finally able to pave. But the city allocates one (two if we’re lucky) 5 ton truck to transport material.

A relatively short paving job requires at a minimum of 60 tons. So that’s 12 trips to the asphalt factory and back. Each ton is around $80.

TL;DR

There’s a lot of road, not many of us, and soup is expensive.

Leave the soup men alone.

I grew out of “I never text first” phase, since I realized nothing was wrong with showing someone, you care about them more than your pride

Everyone needs to grow out of the “I never text first phase” sooner rather than later.

In friend groups there is always someone who is always initiating the conversation with everyone they know. It is utterly exhausting, and it leaves them feeling like the friendship would not continue if they weren’t putting in the effort. Do them a favor and start the conversation first for once. It means something.

This is REALLY getting out of hand now.

I want White People to be charged when they call 9-1-1 with non emergencies, it is a federal crime. They trying to get us all killed. Been trying.

Here’s the surveillance footage

His uniform bag brushed up against her.

These types of accusations are the same reasons Emmett Till, Mike Brown and Trayvon Martin aren’t with us. So don’t think of this as minuscule. White America has to be stopped.

HEY there is a gofundme for this boy going right now if you wanna donate towards his education in the wake of this. Its being done on behalf of his family but the gofundme has been retweeted by Shaun King so I’m going to go ahead and trust it.
