- santaclaus 9y agoOhh someone should do this for the pot holes in the Bay Area.
- Sohcahtoa82 9y agoYou could do what one guy did and start spray-painting penises around the pot holes. (slightly NSFW) https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/artist-penis-potholes-wanksy_n_7149810.html https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/artist-penis-potho...
- netsharc 9y agoTime to program the Roomba.. just add image recognition and spray paint module..
- santaclaus 9y agoToo many potholes for a Roomba, need a drone with a spray paint can. Hell, just scrape seeclickfix for reported pothole locations, have the drone fly there and draw a dong, and boom, instant fix.
- Bromskloss 9y agoAh, yes, this will not end well, but I will enjoy reading about it!
- jldugger 9y agoIIRC, boston wrote a mobile app that people could install to auto report potholes. http://www.streetbump.org/ http://www.streetbump.org/ This was five years ago, donno if they've improved it.
- bernardom 9y agoThat thing was awesome. I lived in Boston at the time and loved reporting potholes- they would usually fix them within a week and post a picture of the "after." Made it really fun to participate.
- projectramo 9y agoDid it work? If so, how many months did it take? If not, how long has it been running for?
- jerkstate 9y agoI had been running it for 4 months and last month they patched the pothole that the puddle created, so I suspended it. I think I may restart it though, water is starting to seep through the patching.
- ericb 9y agoWhy not once a week or once a day?
- udev 9y agoSo the Shawshank Redemption method, eh?
