Almost none.
With a tight sparkler you are adding resistance but essentially you’re pulling a small amount of fluid through a restricted pipe and it will only flow so fast. Pull as hard as you like its only flowing so fast and can’t compress so where you see people rippling muscles on a pump just send them to a class on basic fluid dynamics and tell them to calm down.

Adding myself to the has pulled pints for money list.
Work for Greene King for 3 years and Whitbread for 7. Mostly in the kitchens but did a few bar shifts in that time.
Luckily it was back in the "two pints of bitter, a pint of lager and a pack of pork scratchings please" days rather than "one decaff chai latte, one G&T with FancyCunt Gin and Schwepps tonic - oh you don't have that - ok then I'll make do with rose flavour diet fevertree tonic, one pint of FoamyBastard lager, and a nachos but can I have that with no cheese, extra tortilla chips and extra jalapenos please ... *waits for all drinks* oh, and a pint of Guinness please".

Greenpeace activists have climbed on the roof of Rishi Sunak’s North Yorkshire mansion and draped it in oily-black fabric to “drive home the dangerous consequences of a new drilling frenzy”.
You would think his home might be a little bit protected by the cops. Forum ride to hammer frozen sausages into his lawn amyone ?

If a significant bank fails there are no liquid or semi liquid assets, at all. None. A failed bank’s liabilities always outstrip its assets, thanks to gearing.
Any existing shares were pretty much valueless at the point where the bank is prevented from failing, so what you are suggesting mostly happens anyway, except the state takes on only liabilities.
But the banks weren't just underwritten, or given a pile of cash in 2008. They were wholly or majority nationalised, which certainly included less liquid assets, which were eventually sold off. Those that survived were also required to massively restructure to focus on UK retail, de-risk and downsize.
And e.g. Lloyds shares eventually recovered and were sold to recover most (not all) of their state investment.
None of this means I think the situation should have been allowed to occur in the first place, or that penalties shouldn't have been harder, that individuals shouldn't have faced criminal consequences, or that elements of the restructuring weren't mismanaged.

Can't keep an eye on all of them at once.

Did anyone else who poured beer for money keep the special pints poured when you opened up (or changed a keg) for special customers?
