Whatever motivation she needed to lose the weight, she got. Good for her.

I never really thought about it before but are private citizens/organizations allowed to fix roads when they're government property?

I mean, technically, probably not, but they're (most likely) not going to prosecute someone for filling a pothole. It's even better than those places where someone paints a dick around a pothole because, while the pothole isn't an emergency, apparently a Krylon Cock on the pavement is.

Dominos gives them cash, and the roadworks department does the paving and puts up Dominos advertising.

I don't think its a coincidence that Domino's is based in Michigan, because our roads are an embarrassment. You would think domestic cars would be immune to potholes with the auto industry based here and testing on these roads.

Possibly a slight derail but I remember hearing that here in the states roads are constructed/fixed in such a way that necessitates it being done semiregulalry (instead of a more permanent fix) so that road crews have something to do. Anyone know enough about road construction to weigh in?

That's absurd. It's probably more that the cheapest short-term option is chosen even if it becomes more expensive (requires more work) long-term.

Anyone know enough about road construction to weigh in? Utterly untrue, but I've heard it too from the far right. It's part of the whole "wasteful big government" propaganda complex. Pavement design lifetime is actually based on cost analysis. You go with the approach that minimizes costs over the analysis period, which is usually around 40 years or so. General guidelines from USDOT are here. All the analyses are public record, too, so you can wander by the local transport agency and get copies if you're so inclined. Nobody ever does unless they need it for homework, because the analyses are boring as gently caress.

Anyone know enough about road construction to weigh in? The regularity of repair depends on the municipality. Around here, there are a few months a year when asphalt isn't available, so it's difficult to patch. New potholes crop up in winter due to frost heave, then they need to be filled in after the last frost or else they'll recur shortly thereafter. Many potholes can't be fixed by patching, though - the issue is deeper down, and the roadbed itself has to be re-laid in order to ensure good pavement quality. You have smaller municipalities with small budgets that can only afford to pave a certain amount of road a year, and they pick the worst segments each year. Larger agencies can keep up with their paving, decide when to do rehab vs. replacement, and send around the pothole patching or crack sealing crews every spring to touch up places that won't be getting re-paved soon. However, with more roads to maintain, they can sometimes overlook lower-volume roads unless there are a series of complaints coming in.

From what I understand, at least locally, some extreme weather patterns are also taking a bigger toll on road conditions than what was projected with normal weather. So flooded and frozen roads got worse than the budget allowed, and repairs got delayed by a combination of lack of funding and the fact that these problems hit major, regularly maintained roads about as bad as local roads.

That’s cool and all, except for the whole thing where everyone’s brain becomes Swiss cheese if the guy got unlucky and had an uncurable disease that occurs spontaneously and shows no signs for decades. (Probably one in a billion with muscle, but I’ll stick to my bird meat, thank you.)
