I was wondering if while doing things on slot 1 is my ez flash 3in1 sucking up power? By doing things I mean watching movies and hombrews that dont use the ram cart. Only reason I want to know is so for trips I know to take it out so my battery lasts longer. thanks in advance.
I read somewhere that leaving a slot 2 card (one with a loader) in the slot 2 while running the slot 1 would drain power, however I never really went to test it, however I have noticed that my battery runs out faster than everybody else, and nobody I know has an EZ3in1 (might also be because I always reboot my DS)
Both GBA and DS cartridges contain two pins that are for power and ground, so power flows through them whenever they are plugged in. If you want to maximize your battery life, eject any cartridges you aren't using.

yeah, i thnk my 3-in-1 drains battery more for sure. i'd be able to play for a couple of days before it red-lighted. but since getting my 3-in-1, its been reduced to 1 day.
The usage of slot-2 RAM also is a major battery sucker. This would imply that using NOR mode on the 3in1 would use less battery than using PSRAM for GBA games, but I'm not sure if this is accurate, as it's possible the RAM sucks power even when it's not being used. I know my slot-2 Supercard greatly reduces the battery life even when I rarely use it for GBA games at all.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
