Tim was sweating bullets when they poured that. A full liter on small guy like Tim would ruin him... I bet he's a happy drunk. Good to see he went along with it though.
 
Just dontbuy your iPad on amazon from their official merchant account. Apparently that's not 3%. :(

There is a workaround. Walgreens is 3% now with Apple Card. Go to Walgreens and buy Amazon gift cards for the amount you need to make the purchase. You get the better prices Amazon often has plus the 3% back. There are lots of retailers/online stores Walgreens carries gift cards for so you get get 3% at even more places.

i need to go to Germany just for one of those beers!

We went to Oktoberfest in Munich last year and it was some of the most fun my wife and I have ever had. We’re going back next year with some friends. You should really do it. I don’t know how old you are but there were tons of seniors there throwing back huge beers so don’t let age stop you either!

I know nothing about financial markets or regulatory stuff, but I think Goldman Sachs have a banking licence here in the U.K (they have an online/app driven savings account), so would it really be that hard to launch the Apple Card here?

First, there would be virtually no benefits, or else there would be an annual fee since the EU has regulated the interchange rate (fee charged to merchants) to 1/10th that of the US.

Second, there's no technical reason why Apple needs to use GS. Many branded cards utilize different banks worldwide.
 
It’s interesting to see the extent to which people will hate something just because Tim likes it. It seems “beer” is included in that list now! 😂

(For the record, I think Tim is far from perfect)
 
Wait... Tim drinks beer? I'm beyond surprised. Unless he was just demonstrating the ultra wide angle lens while holding a prop.

Who poured those steins? That's like 25% head.
 
Eine Maße Weißbier? Nie!
Your house is safe

Das ist kein Weißbier sondern ne Plärre die man sonst nirgends außer dort trinkt -
which is freely translated into English: This is not Weißbier but Plärre nobody drinks anywhere except on Oktoberfest. Bavaria is just one of 16 totally different states in Germany. I don’t know why there is so much hype around the Oktoberfest.

A worthwhile event to visit. When I went I met some great people who welcomed my wife and I at their table. If you do go plan on cozy quarters as it is all bench seating and you are back to back with the table behind you.

While the guy that is second from the left got a bad pour, the rest are pretty much proper pours for a 1L stein. The head is supposed to start at the ring that goes around the glass near the top of the handle.

They are never a full liter - its usually like 15-25% of foam at the top.

W00t? There is nothing better than a Augustiner.
Anyway, Prost!

Preach!!! Alas the Augusteiner tent seems hard to get into
