Running Android 14 and somewhat disagree. I have had 1-2 games running in the background after “exiting”/“quitting” the game and dropped from 80-90% battery to 30% in less than 2 hours. (GPS and Bluetooth both disabled). Battery dropped as though I was actively playing with the screen on during that time.

Killing apps has helped me with this issue, in general. However, for the offending game, setting “app battery usage” (specific to Android, not sure of iOS equivalent, if any) has helped better for this issue. Seems a lot of games are trying to load unmecessary stuff and/or sell usage data, despite exiting the game…

On my 25th birthday, my roommate and I had the great idea to do Skittles vodka. If you’re not familiar, you basically separate each color of skittles and use filters (think coffee filters) to infuse the color/flavor into the alcohol you poor over.

It mostly tasted like vodka. And even though I had a brewery tour and bar outing under my belt, it still tasted like pretty much pure vodka.

What I remember of the night was pretty good overall. But waking up in Skittles-colored vomit… both hilarious (in hindsight) and gross.

Quality is enough for the 2-wire speaker cables. The coax cable makes sense from the photo, but I personally I wouldn’t have figured it out from the photo. Seems like a lot of ideas from the left-most cable but it seems too broad to be ethernet and especially telephone. It seems like power, based on width, but difficult to tell without a more direct view of the cross-section and preferably cutting some of the outer-most shelling to see the inner colors

EDIT: I disagree that the black and red colored frayed cables are power. Those colors are most frequently speaker colors AND frayed from being forced into speaker ports. You don’t normally get fraying like that from power-related components (e.g. power outlets).
