Grow up.

What happens if you get hurt at work and can’t work anymore?

That’s dystopian.

Yeah no doubt but OP said this in reference to “scaling up with more weight” and in reference to moving things around, so there are practical size limitations on how long the wheelbarrow/lever can be and how much a person’s arms can lift. You wouldn’t use a wheelbarrow to move a pallet of stone without custom building some freakishly large pallet moving wheelbarrow to act as a massive lever, but you could certainly move a little bit of stone at a time with a store bought wheelbarrow. Assuming normal size implements, for the pallet, a person isn’t strong enough to not need four wheels. You might make a very long lever with the right balance and be able to lift the stone pallet and move it a few feet at a time, before resetting the fulcrum and moving the load again, a few more feet, and you could move the load with just one finger, easily, as you suppose, but in no way would it be more practical than using a four-wheel pallet jack of normal size. I’m not a physics guy so I’m sure I’m not explaining this as clearly as someone more versed might and I agree there are times when it’s easier to pull, such as pulling a dolly up a flight of stairs or over curb; I guess I’m assuming we’re talking about moving a load along the average ground where you can get the proper angle.

For OP, check the Worx Aerocart, 8 in 1.

When you tow something the pulling force has to be down low, aligned with the load, to make it efficient. With the human body, given the height of your hands, it will always be easier to push a load than to try and tow it. The angular force when pushing a wheelbarrow, along with the weight of your body, helps the wheelbarrow along. If you turn around and try to pull it, your body takes that angular force instead of the front wheel. Like, instead of the lever and wheel doing the work, you have to not just move the load along, but lift it too. In short, there’s a reason why you can’t find something like this. It’s the same reason that why you look at wagons or pull carts, the handle is connected as low to the load as possible, and may likely have an angle built into it, also the same reason why flatbed type push carts say right in them “push, don’t pull.” Same with wheelbarrows. In short, you’re going to hurt yourself.

Your post doesn’t make sense. “A four wheel cart doesn’t scale well when compared to the rickshaw design”? Given that a four wheel design spreads the weight to four wheels instead of just two, four wheels can obviously move more weight more easily than two.

As above, especially in uneven surfaces, pushing is easier than pulling given that angular force is reversed (pushing the wheel over a bump and using the angular force to help rotate the wheel versus lifting the load up over the bump using your body whilst pulling). No question.

I feel great about it, nice way to cool off on a hot day.

Lifetime supply of honey for me is one fairly small jar, except that one time I had a weird craving for honey in the comb, so I ordered a square of it and ate it like a sandwich. I guess I saw bears doing it and thought it looked tasty.

Try reading my post again. To summarize, you’re a child and live world that you’re too simple to understand. Someday perhaps you will grow up.

Freedom House doesn’t label places as “dictatorships.” So this is suspect right off the bat. They use a “freedom index.”

No doubt the figure from 2015 includes significant support and training to Afghanistan, labeled with a score of 6 out of 100. Does that count as supporting a dictatorship? No.

If we sell weapons to the Saudis to fight Iranian creep, is that supporting dictatorship? Maybe a little. No question of Iran and Saudi, Iran is a much less free and much worse dictatorship. Sometimes that’s just how progress looks.

This “fact check” is at best highly misleading, bordering on false.

When we spend money in other countries, we are spending it on Americans. When free people thrive, America wins. When people around the world have stable governments that at least try to look out for their own people, America wins. Even if 49% of it is wasted to fraud and abuse, we’re still coming out ahead: the only Americans who have lived through a draft are in their 60s, and a nuclear attack in their 80s.

This hedgemony has staved of world war three and nuclear war for 75 years, and kept the world a relatively stable and safe place for virtually everyone.

Even if you completely disagree with me, and feel like voting for conservatives is the better alternative, two facts completely undermine that decision. First, the times America has failed to live up to its ideals or faltered in its highest pursuits have been exclusively presided over by conservatives. Second, the number of times conservatives have cut spending and passed the savings on to the 99% is exactly zero, but their track record of increasing spending while only significantly cutting taxes for the 1%…is 100%. And, as a bonus fact, this the wealthiest nation ever to exist in the history of the world. The diea that we can’t afford to help Americans and keep up our global spending is meritless, for example, we could eat like three billionaires and end global hunger, provide healthcare and education to every American.

It would be just as catastrophic as the last time this happened, when [REDACTED].

I like this joke.

Whoosh.

Is this a line from Ghostbusters?

Oh it’s not a complaint. I’m just pointing out that somebody mentioned spore, and someone else chimed in to say hey I just mentioned spore I can’t believe it. And then right below that post, for me, was the third person mentioning Spore.

It’s funny.

Balls.

Installed DuckDuckGo browser as soon as I saw the news the other day.

“In order to protect uptime of our glorious data centers, neighborhoods will begin experiencing rolling brownouts to reduce demand.”

• Texas soon probably.

Well, if anyone is seeing this, I decided to buy a Pi 5 and a case and we’re going to get some Linux variant running, and I’ll set him up with some browsing capability and some kid friendly apps.
