How many ways do you intend to ask the same question? No matter how many times you ask it or how many emotes you use or how much you wish it wasn't so the truth does not change. Energy is not free except in your imaginary world of serpentine belts in perpetual motion.

That's not a bad idea at all. In fact it's the only sound idea I've ever seen you come up with. Though I think most people already do this as no one likes to travel while holding it.


It has become quite clear over the last week or so that you are not in this thread to learn or to contribute, but only to taunt others. I encourage you to find more effective ways to spend your time and energy.
