They're inflated number for real-world use, but years ago I did a pointless experiment with some friends where we posted a Motorola Android phone to each other to 'map' the postal network. The phone was packaged up with everything that could be turn off, only GPRS data enabled and took GPS reading once a minute (or every five minutes when stationary) and posted them to a web server. Even after two weeks it had well over 50% of its battery left.
Not OP, but my advice: buy rechargeable. IKEA and Kirkland batteries are excellent in my experience.
Satisfactory?
That reminds me of one of those shit jokes from the eighties:
"There's two new ladies in the typing pool who do a hundred times the work of anyone else."
"What're they called?"
"Daisy Wheel and Dot Matrix."
I hope the management at the local 104.9FM radio station appreciate the product placement.
She sounds like exactly the kind of person that shouldn't face trial, then. Good job we refused to allow her to come home, removing any possibility of arresting her at the border to face justice and putting her child into care so it has a chance of a good life, then. Really drew a line under that one.
They're going to be pissed off when they can't find this Argleton place, though.

[News] Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2 is reportedly a financial "runaway," with production costing $310M
Brilliant! Hopefully this will be the start of the Gladiatorverse, a multiplatform, multimedia expanded narrative universe of weaving storylines covering film, television, streaming, shorts, video games, fast food, comics, cars, social media, ARGs and, sure, a book, I guess. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say: I despise rich, well-formed, self-contained stories and I'd love nothing more than seeing the corpse of a beloved film being dragged from their dignified graves to be attached to a marionette so they can be made to dance, dance, dance forever, a dead-eyed, souless husk of what once was beloved being thrashed for maximum profit without the dangers of innovation or passion coming into play.
Or, who knows, maybe it'll be really good.
