I could understand this if theyre not actually making the problem better, i imagine there is some sort of science to filling potholes

But something is better than nothing

Literally no just get the mix, fill hole, pound flat, adjust as needed. Good to go.

Now I’m mad because there’s so many potholes in my area that fuck there shouldn’t fucking be any potholes just fucking fill them god damn.

I had a friend who did concrete and they told me that like there are different mixes and there are different types for different needs and also some are outdated. Like apparently the stuff from when i was a kid is different from what they use now

Like if u put some random shit in there will it fuck up the street because it doesnt play with that particular mixture?

Most roads are asphalt, not concrete. You are correct about the mixes with concrete, but asphalt is much simpler and just requires compaction if you're patching

This is correct. I’ve never done an entire road, but when I did gas work and we had to dig under the road all we did was fill the road portion with cold mix and pound it flat.
