  • You're on to.something here. And you're right: that illustration probably distorted my understanding of the process

  • I'm not so much concerned as interested, in this person's proposed model, what happens to this accumulated detritus. Maybe it's just that it's negligible. But it must accumulate

  • So wood absorbs the microbes where they eventually suffocate and die, according to this article. But is there then a buildup of dead microbes (and their waste products)?

  • Their job is to express the will and goals of the people they represent.

    Citizens United has entered the chat

  • The political system is inherently set up for politicians to compromise for their self-interest — because money. For personal profit and/or to get re-elected. There was a decent New Yorker article I read on the matter a few years ago that suggested something along the lines that, even if a politician begins their career with the best intentions, the process of getting elected for higher and higher offices erodes those intentions. That's even if they had any decent intentions to begin with, of course.

  • Not to sound edgy, but other than suffering in the process of dying, I'm pretty cool with my upcoming death

    I really appreciate this new-to-me quote ascribed to Frida Kahlo: I hope the exit is joyful and I hope never to return

  • That's a rather stunning drop

  • That tracks with the Third Reich, actually

  • Reading an interview with her

    And if you do not hold the line at this crucial moment — this is the moment when you are strongest — it will only — you will only get weaker over time. And it isn't just the journalists, because journalists are the front lines in this, but the question is to every single citizen in America.

    Woops

  • Could you add in the link for the 7 cases?

  • Hm. White power? Maybe god, too, because he comes with sweet donations from congregations

  • Meanwhile, it's presently in many other sources like chocolate and spices. It's part of the soup, it's not doing us any favors, but it's far from the sole causative factor.

  • As long as you purr like an engine and not a cat, you're fine

  • Thank you. I'll play more with searches for pull cart, though they tend to bring up a different design than what I had in mind. That said, something like this, maybe would work (although it doesn't break down into something storable as well as some other options like the Polymule posted by someone else)

  • I appreciate where you are coming from with your input. At the same time, both pushing and pulling have their place, as evidence by the fact that humans have successfully used both to transport stuff. I don't have the smarts to explain why the rickshaw style approach would work better for my needs; but I've found that it does in some use cases, my intended use being one of them. At the same time, I will see if I can find something like a wheelbarrow which has a flat, square box instead of the typical design. Maybe that would be an option.

  • This is awesome, thank you! Both the Polymule and the Foldit Cart are the type of thing I had in mind. Now to find the former for sale used...

  • Yes, thank you! That's the type of setup I'm thinking of. Friends of the family had these when I was a kid

  • Yes! This is definitely moving in the direction of what I meant. I just saw another response with something called the Polymule that pretty much encapsulates what I'm seeking. I think the two wheel set-up would work better for my needs, but I like this one too. Thank you for sharing the link!

  • Thank you. I've tried those but unfortunately they don't handle enough weight
