One thing to consider –especially at "non-standard" tipping establishments– is how much of the tip goes to the server/cashier.
CBC's Marketplace did some investigating [1], and found that in many cases, the owner or manager pocket part or all of the service tip, even in provinces where this is not legal.
Well yeah, mostly that it has a ton of actors and setpieces (and a horse!) for what AFAICT is a joke product. I mean, it's perhaps not a joke, but... surely anyone who actually wanted to be a touring musician with this kind of music would just load up sounds onto a regular board? Is "musicians who don't even know the genre they'll use professionally yet" a valid market in the first place?
And it consists of short, highly composed shots, which is how non-professional (read: non-Sora) AI videos are these days. They create the individual images then animate them into 2-4 second clips with slight, predictable movement.

That's not really Teenage Engineering's primary market, in the same way Rolex's primary market isn't "people who need to tell the time". Both T.E and Rolex products do their jobs really well, but the people buying them are buying more for the aesthetic than the function.
Teenage Engineering are primarily a design boutique, although musicians do use their products their main audience are collectors / audiophiles / graphic designers going through a mid-life crisis.
There are two big sides to the iPad market, the "spend more than >$1000 for a designer/pro tool" side and the "it's just a good <$500 tablet" side. The latter probably gets 5x-10x the amount of use per purchase, especially by younger audiences.

Genre is contextual. An instrument can “sound like” one genre solo / when highlighted, yet contribute an entirely different sound when submerged in the mix.
Modern country music uses “disco” instruments but not in a way that sounds like disco. A guzheng makes pretty much the same sound as a banjo, but nobody notices because the music the two instruments conventionally get used in doesn’t have much overlap (in play style, but also in terms of what other instruments are used together with them.) A fiddle is literally just a violin, but they’re used so differently that people call them different names (mostly because a “trained fiddler” knows a very different skill than a “trained violinist.”)
Also, there are music genres that just use “everything”, with musicians constantly looking for a new sound for every track they put out. Industrial and electro are both like this.
In short, there are plenty of professional musicians — especially live keyboardists — that already have a setup, but still hunt for new instruments/effects to achieve a new “sound”. (Normally that’s just through VST plugins, sure, but there’s also a thriving market for physical old analog synths that haven’t been digitally replicated yet — and this product is clearly intended to appeal to people used to buying in that market.)
One thing I'll mention is that cold brew doesn't need to be put in the fridge to "brew". It can be left out on the counter at room temperature. As a result, this takes the brew time from 24 hours to about 12 hours.
Kanopy is great, and very nearly as good as the mainstream streaming platforms in terms of selection and software quality.
Hoopla, however, is abysmal both in selection (though this depends on your local library) and in software/service quality. The search is broken, and it has some of the most confusing UX I've ever experienced. It's as if it actively wants to prevent you from watching anything.
Found a bug on the first search I ran, where the right side is preferred, despite having more sun (10.55%) vs. the left side (6.64%). Not sure how. All other searches gave more expected results.
I don't know specifically about your symptoms, but one thing it could be is the carbonation.
All draught Guinness (including Guinness Draught cans) is not carbonated with just CO2, but with nitrogen and CO2 in a 70-30% (thereabouts) mix.
Additionally, when pouring a typically carbonated beer incorrectly (or not pouring it into a glass), a larger amount of CO2 remains in solution, leading to gastro bloat that can feel more uncomfortable than one would expect. You can experience bad pours even at bars, depending on who's behind the tap.
Lagers will have higher carbonation levels than most stouts, so that could be a factor.
I'm not your parent but similar issue. I doubt it's the CO2 if he's anything like me. I can drink coke all day long (well sugar free one anyway - but I don't drink pop except in rare cases)
Beer? Not much and it's worse the more days in a row I drink it. So 3 beers over 3 days total is worse than 3 beers one evening and then nothing.
And the alcohol doesn't matter. Same issue with alcohol free versions of the same beer. Hefeweizen like Erdinger which has lots of yeast on the bottom of the bottle is worse.
It's like the yeasty parts of the beer just take over my gut and wreak havoc.
I got things under control by both not drinking beer and switching to hard stuff if I'm after the alcohol part or just completely different drinks if I'm after the taste part as well as finding a probiotic that works for me.
Nota bene: for me I also got headaches with it all. Like really bad migraines and even with certain foods. The probiotics made it all go away as long as I don't overpower them with beer or Pizza for that matter. Ordered in Pizza, if I eat too much guarantees headache a day to two later.
Some yeast produce more msg than others? The way it accumulates for over time seems quite different than the gp that indicated fast onset. That sounds more like they have an active allergy. Perhaps to sulphites?
I have to disagree w.r.t. UI and non-standard being preferable for a pro app.
Having used Drawing Things regularly for the last few weeks, I still get confused by certain interactions and UI elements, leading to mistakes, and 'lost productivity'. It would greatly benefit from a UX pass, as more standard UX improves expectations of what will happen upon performing an action.
Don't get me wrong: I appreciate that it was released –for free– and that its capabilities are what they are. I'm merely arguing that more cohesive UX and pro functionality are not mutually exclusive.
As an example of a 'pro' app, there's Pixelmator Pro, which is a very Mac-assed app. I was able to pick it and start using it immediately without tutorials as its typical UX is intuitive (to me, as a macOS user), even when it came to more complicated operations.
Some more examples that I can think of off the top of my head: Proxyman, TablePlus, Kaleidoscope, Tower. The only exception to my observation, based on tools in my daily arsenal: VSCode. Non-standard UX, yet still intuitive.
Everything else that's non-standard feels like I'm battling with the UI daily, even after years of use: Android Studio, Slack, and most of the complicated Electron apps.
This only covers what data apps store/collect. An app can have a clean 'Privacy' disclaimer ("The developer does not collect any data from this app") but still require access to Photos, Camera, Location, etc.
In addition, if hops (or other herbs) were used in the boil, the acids from the hops (what gives beer its bitter bite), even in small amounts, would provide anti-bacterial benefits to the beer.
For the medieval period, it would have been other herbs. Hops are something of a later addition. I don't believe that they came into very widespread use until the reformation era.
