Diamond-encrusted keepsakes are great but bring less gratification than the getting there and the giving, said Girardi, who is scheduled to make the ring presentations Tuesday with Berra and Whitey Ford, a six-ring man himself.
A top-end burgundy or first-growth bordeaux will set you back several hundred, if not thousand pounds, and probably offer less gratification if you drink it straight away.
"There's less immediate gratification on the new record," Mr. Turner said during the interview at ECM. "Not that the other one had a lot of that," he added wryly, referring to the trio's self-titled 2004 debut.

There are some issues however, apart from this being an app with less than instant gratification.
A higher slope value (greater k) represents steeper discounting (a more rapid decrease in the value of a reward with increasing time, reflecting less delay of gratification) and this is used here as the dependent variable.2.2
Delay discounting mean represents log-transformed k (i.e., the degree to which each additional day decreases the perceived value of a $100 CAD reward. Zero-order correlations showed that higher MMI scores were associated with greater delay discounting (i.e., less delay of gratification), r(150) =.20, p <.05 as estimated using k.
However, their finding and the estimated effect sizes provide tentative evidence that euthymic BD patients are less able to delay gratification than controls, although the main differences happened later during the task, potentially indicating a learning deficit or fluctuating response over time.
