So you want to be able to stream Gimp and have a shared drive with your PC's sheets, it needs to be open source and with no limitations?

I'd just do gimp+Discord+google docs, but if you want it to be open source and all-in-one then go checkout Nextcloud. I think that's as free as you get, if even foundry is too limiting.

Grooming and cleaning my beard+hair takes about 20 min. The rest takes 5-10 min.

Nice. The first computer I had all to myself had Vista, it thought me how to fix my own stuff after random crashes. I ditched Windows shortly after the end of support for windows 7, after having entirely skipped 8, and then witnessing Microsoft themselves skipping 9 for the shitshow that was 10.

Might be. I've never seen it used that way, though, I know that some people prefer parentheses around the fraction to the right of integers.

That said, even Wolframalpha appears to disagree, which I find mildly funny if what you say is true.

EDIT: Just realized something even more damning. If you input it into Wolframalpha using math input, it just assumes addition (lol). Yeah, I might have to read up on this.

Just assume a perfect world, and we won't loose any energy!

....... Though we won't gain any either. -,-'

Now you're introducing potential energy (a hill), which will be used up (or rather be fully converted to kinetic energy) once you reach the bottom, and you're going to need the same or more energy to go up that same hill again (depending if you take resistance into account).

We already have tech for capturing kinetic energy for later in the same battery used for driving called "Regenerative braking" (cuz' the motor is used as a generator in place of brakes, and you'll need to drive said generator by capturing/braking some of your kinetic energy/forward motion).

EDIT: In other words: You could just start on a really high hill and you'd be able to use the weight of the bike and yourself as a "battery", never needing any actual battery/motors/wiring/etc.

Efficiency does little for your wallet and the environment if you need to buy/produce a new machine every few years.

(Not to say that we shouldn't strive for efficiency.)
