@jt_rebelo @mastodonmigration @GottaLaff I'd call #Ukraine "criminally incompetent" if they didn't already leverage domestic #Fiber & #GSM networks as well as procuring entire transponders for exclusive use.

I've often wondered my bars and pubs don't list the prices of their beers, even though everything else is on the drinks list. It's always been like that, so I assume it came about in a time when beer was dirt cheap ($2 a glass or whatever) and so no one needed to know the price before they sank three of them.

"Imagine a product where you don’t know how much it costs until after you pay for it. Sometimes, you won’t even know how much you paid for it until you wake up in the morning with a hangover, financial or otherwise. At any other place, for any other product, this business practice would be widely shamed. Yet, at pubs and for beers, it’s par for the course. How do they get away with this?"

The Sydney Morning Herald · How a $13 schooner pushed me past the pint of no returnBy Paul Marshall

I don't drink anymore, but Analogue bar in Singapore made the top 50 cocktail bars globally (and they have a huge NA cocktail list, plus fully vegan food menu)

No SF/ LA bars on this list, which may surprise some, but I remember from my boozing days that the scene is really much bigger in all the other cities that show up here

Time Out · World’s 50 Best Bars 2024: Four Singapore bars make the list this yearBy Adira Chow

These bars or whatever they are called for filters and CW's in the new Mastodon 4.3.0 release are absolutely HIDEOUS!

While I understand bringing attention to them, this is NOT pretty and shouldn't be done this way at all.

I'm using BirdUI by @rolle and currently there's no themeing for them in there either.

I hope this is something someone changes ASAP!

On a recent evening at a local taphouse I ordered a “pint” of a particular beer and got a bewildered stare. The server was trained to fetch 12s, 16s, 20s or the occasional 10.

“I’ll have a 16,” I said, drowning the temptation to joke, “You know what, make it an imperial 16!”

I don’t think I’ll ever get a convivial kick from inviting a friend out to “have a 16” but you never know.

Trump reveals he made $300,000 selling Bibles and has big cryptocurrency stash

Financial disclosure shows presidential nominee owes $500m in #civil #penalties but sheds little light on #solvency

Donald Trump made hundred of thousands from his branded #Bible and millions from his #properties
– but also owes millions for #defamation and #fraud cases, according to his latest financial disclosures that shed little light on the perennial question of whether the Republican presidential nominee is, in fact, solvent.

Voluminous disclosure documents to the US Office of Government Ethics to comply with election campaign laws show that,
in addition to Trump’s US real estate holdings,
he has global financial interests, including registered #trademarks in China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ukraine and Israel.

He also owns millions in #cryptocurrency and has a six-figure investment in #gold #bars.

But the disclosures also hint at Trump’s substantial personal outgoings,
👉including more than $500m owed to both the writer E Jean Carroll and the New York attorney general -- resulting from civil judgments involving defamation and accounting fraud.👈

Both judgments
– $83m to Carroll and
– $454m to New York state
– are subject to bonds while Trump appeals the decisions,
a process that could take years.

Trump’s #MarALago home and private club in Florida, which formed part of a case against the Trump Organization involving #inflated asset #valuations,
produced about $57m in income from the club, down about $8m from a previous disclosure.

The disclosures are not a profit-and-loss balance sheet
– they only give broad ranges of income and assets
– so alone they cannot determine whether Trump is in the red or the black.

He has consistently resisted efforts to force the release of his tax returns,
although two years ago a Democrat-controlled Congress released six years of Trump’s tax returns,
dating to 2015, the year he announced his presidential bid.
