Ethereum Foundation warns some tools may break with Glamsterdam upgrade
Developers have been urged to test on Plataberget before Glamsterdam’s new gas model reaches Ethereum’s other testnets and mainnet.

On Monday, the EF’s Protocol DevOps team said any tool relying on a hardcoded maximum gas limit “will break” and must be updated. It urged developers to test their systems on Plataberget, a public testnet intended to operate for several months.
Rich People Create Money Printers. They Don't Save a Dime.
Welcome Avatar! One of the biggest psyops in human history is that rich people run around with a lot of cash and big bank accounts. The masses also assume they have huge incomes (another big no, no). In reality, the cash balance is kept as low as possible. While the wealthy have $100,000+ in bank accounts, you have to look at it as a percentage of wealth.

They try to decouple their time from money.

Wynn Las Vegas: Staying, Dining & My Tips For The Best Experience
I’ve been a fan of the Wynn for years and have had many great meals and drinks there over the years. It’s a luxury property - the creme de la creme - and so when they invited me for a two night stay that included a couple of fine dining dinners, I was very excited! We stayed in the Tower Suites in a Wynn Tower Suite King. The suite was beautifully appointed and the bathroom was 10/10! Our room had a view of a golf course and of the Sphere which was very cool to watch it change designs.

Former Australia batter Warner convicted, fined for drink-driving
Warner, one of Australia's most decorated cricketers, pleaded guilty after failing a breath-test on the Easter weekend when driving his family home in Sydney's eastern suburbs after a social function. The 39-year-old's blood-alcohol reading was more than twice the legal limit. Waverley Local Court heard Warner stopped his car when he saw the roadside breath-testing site and attempted to swap seats with a female passenger. "I accept Mr Warner is unlikely to re-offend," Judge Clare Farnan told the court in comments published by Australian media.
