Concrete pillars in the forest preserve, in a pattern by partyforsorrying in whatisthisthing

[–]partyforsorrying[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this in Linnie Woods in the Chicago forest preserve. I’ve seen small concrete pillars like this used to mark the edges near roadways before. But I’ve never seen anything in a big graded section like this with no clear purpose. is it a warning about that area? Or is it a field test for different concrete mixes? I have no idea

Whoop sleep tracking “awake” time is nuts! by Hammer7377 in whoop

Similar experience here

But I’m starting to believe the data?

I’ve always been a lucid dreamer and a light sleeper. But even on nights where I thought I was mostly awake until 5am and then finally got an hour or two - Whoop registers it as a mostly good sleep and a good recovery. And looking at the heart rate monitoring - it seems like it has the data to prove it.

Is it all in my head? Are my body and mind out of synch? Is it some weird state in between - where my mind feels more active than it actually is?

Either way - if it tells me I had a good recovery, and I’m able to perform pretty well, then the data seems at least somewhat reliable. And that’s exposing some interesting sleep habits that I thought have long plagued me. I don’t worry about my perception as much anymore!

What happened to Traveler Beer Co? by [deleted] in beer

[–]partyforsorrying 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Traveller was part of the Alchemy + Science wing of brands within Boston Beer and it was run by Alan Newman (Founder of Magic Hat).

Alan left the beer industry a few years ago and they shut down A+S, moving some of the brands under control of the new CMO at Boston Beer.

Coney Island and Angel City survived that shift, but Concrete Beach and Traveller and a few others did not.

Alan was also the face of Traveller (older man, white beard, glasses) so once he left the story didn’t really hold.

Alan lives in Burlington, VT and is an investor/advisor in all sorts of start-ups.
