Pipepipe question re: the mini player

So I open up the app. Find a video, start to play it. Go to another app, mini player pops up. I missed something in the video, so I tap the mini player and then tap the square/full screen button on the top right to go back to the app. The video automatically pauses, so I have to press the play button again.

Why does it do this? I have combed through the settings and I can't seem to find a setting that correlates to this. The closest I've found is the continue playback after interruption, which I already have on. It's a fairly mild annoyance, but an annoyance nonetheless.

Fat guy looking for bike help

Hello. I'm here because I'm looking to get a bicycle and I'm fairly unknowledgeable when it comes to brands, pricing, etc. But I have a pretty clear idea of what I think I might be looking for, so here goes.

About me: I'm 6 ft, lost some weight over the last year and I'm down to about 300 pounds, and while the bike is part of the plan moving forward to help continue losing weight, it will not be the main thing. Probably the biggest consideration for me is that I have arthritis in my lower back. Whenever I'm seated leaning forward (as when I'm painting or crafting or riding most bikes) my back gets incredibly painful. For mostly this reason, I am leaning towards a cruiser or city style bike, since sitting more upright would be far better for my back.

I live in the upper Midwest, but I'm not really intending to ride during the winter, so snow and ice aren't really part of my calculus here. The area I live in is pretty flat. Most of the riding I intend to do will be short trips to the park with my dog (an adorable, but bratty 30 pound pug/Australian Cattle Dog mix), the pharmacy, maybe the occasional grocery store run, just one mile to two mile trips.

As I mentioned, I'm leaning towards a cruiser or city bike. Budget is a factor so I'll likely be buying used. Brand recommendations, features to make note of or look out for, models to be wary of, any and all of this would be invaluable in my search.

Thank you for reading, for helping, and have a great day!

I made some stackable/modular tile pieces. They are already painted and sealed, because making them magnetic didn't occur to me/didn't seem to be necessary until after they were finished. To save money on magnets, I decided to use BBs on the opposite side of the magnets to get everything to go together. This also lets me worry less about the polarity of the magnets, since the BBs will be attracted either way.

The trouble I'm running into is getting the BBs into the foam and keeping them there when the magnets pull on them. Because BBs are spherical and drilling out a little bit (with a drill bit, by hand) of material leaves a cylindrical hole, there is room for the BB to escape. Using a smaller drill bit and pushing them in leaves a visible scar on the tile, and I think the BBs could still get out. Will PVA or Mod Podge be enough to hold it in?

I was thinking of those stump removers, where they dig in all around the stump like a claw. A miniature version of that would let me remove a bit of material, drop in the BB, then use the removed material to cover up the hole.

It's very possible I'm overthinking this.
