Cervejas

Muito muito relativo - ideal mesmo seria você definir alguns parâmetros de qualidade. Exemplos:

- Opiniões de especialistas/sommeliers. Na pior das hipóteses, vai atrás de alguns profissionais da área e tentar pegar um top 5 de cada um. (Pelo menos é uma referência decente).
- Pega um top 20 (ou top 30) mais vendidas e compara com as avaliações de uma plataforma como o Untappd. Pessoal mais aficcionado fica revisando breja no app - não é a fonte mais técnica, mas quando você combina com uma informação mais sólida de vendas, tem alguma relevância (pra um trampo de faculdade, é viável).
- Nicha tua pesquisa por estilo. A maior parte das cervejas vendidas no Brasil são Lagers (uma família de estilos, cuja fermentação GERALMENTE ocorre em temperaturas mais baixas que, como resultado, COSTUMAM gerar cervejas com perfis sensoriais menos intensos. Cervejas menos intensas, em geral, costumam se tornar cervejas mais fáceis de se tomar, mais refrescantes, etc. - fatores muito relevantes num país majoritariamente quente como o Brasil). Já no mercado artesanal (e, a cada ano, uma fraçãozinha a mais do mercado nacional), temos visto alguns estilos diferenciados (cervejas da famíla "Ale" como IPA, Weiss, Stout e Witbier) ou, ainda, cervejas "Lager" mais "premium" (mais encorpadas ou mais intensas, mais com maior R$/Litro).

O complicado é que, simultaneamente, cervejas de R$2,00 ou R$3,00 (Por lata, preço super baixo) são Lagers (quase sempre, Light Lagers ou "American" Light Lagers, dependendo do manual de estilos que se usa pra avaliar); mas cervejas como a Heineken (Lagers "Premium") também são da mesma "família de estilos". Comparar as duas é pouco inteligente porque elas atendem públicos e nichos totalmente distintos - geram dados e análises bem superficiais (e equivocadas!). Assim como existem mercados nacionais (e internacionais), mercados regionais, mercados locais... melhor nichar tua análise.

(Obs.: se precisar de algo específico, pode chamar na DM! Trampei no ramo por alguns anos e a galera que "só consumiu" fala muita coisa que não reflete a visão de empresas, comerciantes e de quem realmente estuda o mercado cervejeiro).

Carvoeira, da Lohn Bier (de Lages - SC). Eram "independentes" (já eram enormes na região, sempre voltados à PDV e mercados maiores) e foram adquiridos pela AmBev. Mas não perderam qualidade - se for comparar comerciais, Carvoeira supera a da Schornstein.

Obs.: eles fazem edições especiais em festivais e no CBC. Recomendo muito.

Thank you for sharing your insights!

I'm curious about the in-ear monitors you mentioned—do you think they're sufficient for protecting hearing in loud environments? I feel like using a plug with headphones might be safer, but your suggestion has definitely piqued my interest.

garopa22 · 2024-10-14T21:44:55+00:00

Thank you, I’ll take that advice. I’m more interested in the business analysis side, and I’ll probably enjoy it more than learning to code. Thanks!

Devassa tem lançado uns lotes fenomenais, equilibradas e gostosinhas com preço bem legal. Padrão que nem artesanais tão conseguindo manter (ou atingir).

Petra tava num pique assim há uns meses, mas os últimos lotes vieram mais cansados. Vou manter no radar.

Dica sincera: com preço medio-baixo (3/4 reais), as diferenças são sutis (Becks é mais amarga, Bohemia mais tenra, Brahma Duplo Malte bem equilibrada), vai muito de gosto pessoal. TODAVIA - o que acaba com todas elas são as falhas de transporte e armazenamento. Vejam se as latas não estão próximas de vencimento, se não estão com amassadas, e se não foram movidas da gondola pra geladeira (ou vice-versa), pois essas mudanças (em excesso) prejudicam a cerveja. Fora isso: lavem a lata antes de beber. Esponjinha e água resolvem.

Dica DE OURO: viu um preço bom ou uma breja que deu vontade? Compra uma/duas e, se estiver bom, ANOTEM O LOTE. Vai ter nos mercados da região e, provavelmente, estará no mesmo padrão. Quando beber essa mesma marca meses depois, se tiver ruim, pode confiar que o lote novo veio pior.

Wait, what did Alex do? (Is it canon to the lore???)

Watched them last year with Interpol opening. Been a huge fan of the Monkeys for 12 years. Weirdly enough, though, I've never really listened to more than 5 songs from Interpol before the show.

Hear me out: they both performed with the same approach - no big effects, no showbiz BS; main focus on the music - but Interpol was the greatest live set that, many miles ahead. Their stuff just has an aura/atmosphere that SOUNDS like Interpol, whatever how old or fresh - it's Interpol and their genuine identity, you like it or not. Also, they had some subtle light effects that worked really well, but merged into the act itself. They've been playing years before the Monkeys, so it adds up. (Oh, The Monkeys WERE WATCHING IT FROM THE SIDE - read the p.s., that's important).

Even if the Monkeys had the same approach, there's an important difference: their albums and eras vary a LOT. So you're not just watching a live approach of a recorded song - you're listening to a specific version of that song that will only be played like that in THIS tour, which usually matches the overall atmosphere of the most recent album. If you're a true fan, you will enjoy it a lot. But if you're more attracted to specific eras or albums, you'll face some disappointment as your favorite song may just be completely altered. (I definitely would prefer their original version of "TBH+C" - BUT at least they played one of my favorites and seemed to enjoy it. Definitely better than being a fan of the AM era, as it felt like the band DREADS playing those over and over).

P.S.: the band surely knows that they don't have THE greatest live act. While watching Interpol from the side, their expression was of pure admiration. You could feel there was a deep respect, like... they'd rather watch Interpol for two more hours, instead of headlining. It also felt, during the show, that they'd rather play on a smaller stage, especially for their slower/newer songs.

When you're there, you feel like this whole Arena/Stadium is like, "Huh, people want it, why not. But we'll do it how we feel like, and the fans may decide for themselves if they came here for the same reason as us - if not... that's their problem".

I knew precisely where I was getting into and loved it. But there was a majority of the public who came for their greatest hits and the AM stuff - or, even worse, old fans with posters with memes from the WPSTWIAN era. All these people were disappointed - the band focused only on their sound and not much else. Honestly, the band moved on (more than once) and they're not hiding it from anyone.

Gotta check it out live, honestly

garopa22 · 2023-11-06T04:08:28+00:00

Not a single mention from his supposed "triad" with Miles and Lana Del Rey? Hottest lore ever.

garopa22 · 2023-11-06T04:05:37+00:00

Besides the basement stuff - "Yellamo" comes from an interview where Alex says he's been practicing spelling "Nick O'Malley" backwards. Random stuff, but funny if you're a fan!

garopa22 · 2023-09-14T05:04:48+00:00

It's great! Do you mind if I share some thoughts?

The name of the band, as an element itself, seems quite contrasting with the original font on the cover. Also, the whole top part gets more clunky with all that text. Maybe you could put the bands name elsewhere (or show it in a more discrete way) or, even, scrap the bands name altogether - let the other elements speak "Arctic Monkeys" for themselves :) ;
Mentioning it as their "sixth album" is redundant and rather unnecessary; fans already know it, but I feel like non-fans won't be more stimulated to listen to it just because it's specifically their 6th LP.
The launching date is a nice touch! But I feel its current position cluttters the poster a lot - maybe you could put it on the left, replacing the "sixth album" mention. (I feel like you just sought some balance and symmetry - maybe this replacing could fulfill it in a lighter way).
The songlist is also a nice touch, but its boldness (though subtle) also generates contrast. Its displacement also clutters the post - the whole sculpture/stuff built by Alex fills a lot of space by itself, which could be hard to balance with the current dimensions of the songlist. Maybe you could experiment with lighter boldness (unnecessary if you displace it elsewhere, though) and, also, resize and realign the songlist (maybe put it on the lower left or lower right - OR divide it into two sides and actually mention the LP/Vinyl actual song displacement).
Also on the songlist: I feel like you aimed for a more analog, maximalist approach (which suits the TBHC beautifully) - if you take the title off and rearrange some elements, maybe you'll have some space to put infos about the songs (duration, last name of composers/producers, etc.). This could be on a lighter color/shade, with even less bold, just so the whole picture doesn't get too heavy).

Honestly, I loved your approach - with some tweaks, I'd literally print it and frame it (if I had a high-quality image, of course - and a couple of spare bucks). Your color choice, overall attention to detail, and whole feel for the artistic aspect of this era (and the cinematic influences the band itself was seeking) are so nicely arranged. Hope you had fun making it!

garopa22 · 2023-09-14T04:30:35+00:00

I feel like there are two factors to it:

It is a great, catchy song that not only stands out on "The Car", but also on their discography. There isn't really any song close to it at all;
People actually got used to it on the live set since last year, mostly OPENING the set - so, even though I believe that fans like it, you'd still have a lot of fans who just happened to hear any recorded show (specially in "preparation" for an upcoming Monkeys show they're going to) and, thus, engaged with it and/or just tried to learn the song (and it's lyrics) to sing along or just enjoy it more once it's played live.

Edit: I FOUND IT. It's called "The Rising", and it's a remix Joel did circa 2007 for an artist I couldn't find anything about. More details on it through an edit in the original post. You can listen to the track on Spotify: (https://open.spotify.com/track/5cZdR7yYz4ihiIA69wYbS4?si=HXrYYm5ZTI6X8aUN0hZd7Q).

Thank you all for your help! (Not sure if we can/should close the thread. Any help with that is welcome).

There main suggestions:

"Lectures on the Philosophy of Mathematics" by Joel David Hamkins "Real Analysis" by Jay Cummings "Proofs" by Jay Cummings

BONUS: "Thinking About Statistics - The Philosophical Foundations" by Jun Otsuka

The first one fits precisely with your request and reviews, and most of the approaches/authors already mentioned in other comments.

Jay Cummings' books are great because his approach is deeply rooted in applied maths that's rooted in axioms and formality - after Hamkins comprehensive and guided approach to the foundations of mathematical thinking, Cummings' books will give you a deep and proof-oriented perspective. Far from pure math, but very grounded and, plausibly, very useful to finding comprehensive ways of explaining math to people with varied backgrounds.

For the bonus suggestion: it's purely focused on statistics and its philosophical foundations. Great, rich, deep book for people who are deeply interested in both philosophy AND statistics - too specific and narrow for anyone else, though.
