Do you have to shit in a hole in the floor or do they have toilets?
Paper or Finger?

Why do I need to know any of this?

Are you an advertiser or something?

This city allows 24x7 prostitution.

Caveat emptor.

@patrick

I think you have an unauthorized advertisement OP.

@Patrick

You got another advertisement disguised as a post.

Illinois, NJ, NYS, MA: "Shitty roads despite massive spending is because of the freezing and thawing during winter conditions many months out of the year"

CA: "Uh, um, er.... you're a racist?"

I think it's just the inevitable result of corrupt one-party rule.

The really don't care because there is no possibility of being voted out in California.

Your tax money is simply distributed as crazy large pensions to the various public unions in return for votes, or for guaranteeing election fraud if the vote gets too close to some Democrat actually losing.

I flattened a tire and deformed the rim and thought I took out suspension getting onto Pleasanton onramp to 680. I hit something, but I never exactly saw what it was. Big O was able to find the tire and a matching replacement rim for $$$, said suspension was OK but I think I need new shocks at some point.

I remember that road but it's been 11 years. I was dating a chick in Pleasanton so would drive it pretty often. Have you ever noticed that dome-home under the wind turbines? My buddy was dating a chick that lived in that so the 4 of us hung out there one night. When you're that close to the wind turbines the sound is super eerie. Because it is a dome you can imagine what the walls would look like inside. It's not what you think. Basically they are normal walls that just don't reach the ceiling so you can hear everything everywhere. Not sure why someone would want to live in that place - I didn't ask.

Move dude! Roads are quite nice in Texas unless you're in some rural area. Even then it beats CA.

Roads are horrible here and they held them hostage by putting street repaving projects in a catchall over half billion dollar bond measure that also included new affordable housing, improved wildfire safety, restoring crumbling public facilities, upgrading parks and preparing local infrastructure for a changing climate. Needless to say, it did not pass...

Government employee retiree perks take priority.

You knew that.

Sheesh.

Add 580, 880 and most importantly 101 to the list. After all the fancy measures have been passed to improve freeways, I kind of feel that these freeways will be more or less the same for decades to come.

Looks like Houston roads

Here how this works:
Government well connected contractor win bid for doing work for $100M. Then he is selling this job to subcontractor for $50M. Then this is selling job to his subcontractors for $25M. The last one has to use low quality materials and cheap labor to make some money on project.

Really, this looks like 3rd world country model.

When the PTB really want to limit and control private at will transport, why would we expect any different? This just falls right in line.

I don't want to dox myself too much. It's the refining process. Oils used in asphalt of 30-40 years ago was much different than what we have today. To keep it simple I'll make the math easier. In the 1970's you could refine oil to fuel at a 90% rate. The remaining 10% would be used for things like asphalt. Fast forward to the last decade and there's only 1% left for asphalt and it's the shit oil in the refining process.

Basically you're driving on roads that are 90% less quality from what most users here likely grew up on. Freeze thaw matters, but we just have shittier asphalt from the word go now. It's not necessarily politics or construction practices. It's a quality issue because selling and refining oil for other products like fuels mainly is more profitable than using it for asphalt.

Another way to think of it is squeezing a wet rag to get the water out of it. 98 People got to squeeze the rag to get some water and what you drive on is the 2% left. Used to be 10%. Makes a huuuuuuggggge difference.

I don’t know how much longer my poor car can stay in one piece

I might have to just accept that our roads will forever be shit and start driving a Jeep with 35inch diameter tires and stop giving a shit

Civil Engineer?

My sister is one in New Hampshire. I'm an EE, and I didn't magically absorb my sister's knowledge, but I can tell you, the roads in NH are built specifically to last. It's built for infrastructure. I love that state for their roads, and I'm certain my sister does as well.

They are seriously built to last and to be functional. There are passing lanes, roundabouts, and the roads are NOT designed to be replaced 5-10 years later. They're well built, and designed to last for a long long time so I don't think it's just a function of what is available for asphalt. In NY, roads are purposely designed to be replaced 5-10 years later, to make certain that people will be employed. In NH, a road needs to be built, they hire the dregs of society to build it (no offense, but it's not skilled labor if you have a competent foreman), and they build a road, and then when they are done, the drifters move on to another job. Some of these "drifters" are high school graduates, people that just left the military, university students working in the summer - they aren't bad people, but they are doing this as a summer job basically. It's not a permanent job for them, and NONE of them expect to be "moving up" doing it, it's just hard work and money.

There's a reason NH has the Liberty Project located there. Having an economic system that is designed not to provide employment, but to provide wealth in terms of assets and infrastructure, is a good idea. They don't have ambitious crazy projects, they have projects designed to improve the state, at a low cost, to accommodate the population, and they do NOT want input from "East Coast Liberals", although they will take their money.

@Patrick
You may have a stealth advertiser here.

Bot?

@Patrick

Another stealth ad

Poured water on Muslim women going on E-rickshaw, when the women refused then poured water again.
This is how it started and later end with molestation and sexual harassment, all in the name of Holi.

Usual suspects calling Holi as the reason behind molestation of women is the most senseless thing.
@vinodkapri
why don't you ask these foreigners if they are feeling unsafe while celebrating Holi in India among the locals.
But you won't as it doesn't fit your agenda

Hindoo is rape/riot culture!

Another one White women are targeted during Holi, and it is said to be part of the culture, which turns the festival into a molestation fest. Crime will be never old 😈

“My Question to
@AlboMP
Do you know that 4 Indian Gujaratis were caught Vandalizing Sikh Gurdwara and Referendum banners? Did you forcefully Tell Modi to stop interfering in Australian internal matters or Now Modi will dictate PM Albanese how to run Australia?”
@SikhPA

@austhindu

Chinese and Muslims will likely fund Hindoo genocide in west as per geopolitical situation.

This will make Hindoo a colony of Arabs and Persians(Once again) and Chinese.

Nobody knows what you’re posting about.
Now you’re fantasizing about white people in America genociding the relatively few Sikhs we have?
C’mon man. Most Americans have no idea what a Sikh even is, or how you’re different from other Indians. The turban makes the less educated think you might be a Muslim, but the media hasn’t been hating on Muslims for over a decade and most of that sentiment has passed.

If you want my advice, try getting to know people outside your community. Nobody wants their friends to get hurt. So try being someone’s friend.

@Shaman, if you want to respond spend couple of seconds to see what he is saying. Then you will understand how deranged he is. The news he shared is nothing to do with "whites". And he wants to drag west to defend his imaginative "sikh" rights.

There is a fugitive that khalisthanis dropped in to India. Now the Indian state is trying to arrest him. But you need to be more concerned about what these khalisthanis can do in west.
