honestly this is why Assassins Creed cosplayers are my favourite cosplayers because you’re never sure when one of them is gonna just bust out the parkour but you know at least one of them in a group can do it.
Are you sure they are not Actual Assassins?
modern day Assassins dress as historical assassin to blend in a crowd of cosplayers and #remain_undetected
none of the people even turned when he did that, too, so I’m convinced we’re either living in a simulation or that was an actual assassin
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.
I don’t know how many of you enjoy watching people make things, but it gives me a great sense of relaxation. I rarely even care what they are making. I just like the process. Especially creative problem-solving.
Laura Kampf is a brilliant woodworker/metalworker/any-material worker who combines art and craftswomanship into beautiful industrial-ish pieces.
She is a queer maker to boot, so for those looking for more representation in the maker space… she’s pretty great.
