Let's get right to it.

First, a beer recommendation.  I picked up a six-pack of Blue Point Brewing Company's Toasted Lager this week and was not disappointed.  Nice and toasty, hoppy, leaves a nice aftertaste.  You don't buy this to drink ten or twelve, you buy it to drink 2 or 3 then switch to water or something lighter if you still want to drink beers.  This beer would make a fine choice for any Dubber planning to imbibe a little Saturday night, either to celebrate a fine win or as a comfort in the face of a disappointing loss.  (I don't think we need to worry too much about the latter, frankly.)

On that note, however, new research suggests that there is such a thing as an "emotional hangover" that can affect our memory of events moving forward.  One thing to remember this weekend is that it's just football and (presumably) each of us will be with people we like.  Don't be the guy who sucks to be around if things aren't going our way early, everyone will remember you as the guy who sucks to be around.

Here's a health & fitness tip: Work.  Walk 5 minutes.  Work.  Here's why:

Standing up and walking around for five minutes every hour during the workday could lift your mood, combat lethargy without reducing focus and attention, and even dull hunger pangs, according to an instructive new study.

The study, which also found that frequent, brief walking breaks were more effective at improving well-being than a single, longer walk before work, could provide the basis for a simple, realistic New Year’s exercise resolution for those of us bound to our desks all day.

Here's another health & fitness tip (if you're a Browns fan): Stop being a Browns fan.  Reportedly Steelers coach Mike Tomlin plans to sit Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell and Antonio Brown this weekend against the 1-14 Browns.  Who cares? you might be thinking, and you're not necessarily wrong.  But it's not just that the Steelers are resting all their best players in a "rivalry game" that clearly doesn't matter at all to them, there's also this gem:

Roethlisberger is 20-2 against the Browns

The Browns have been "back" for 17 years now.  What a disaster.  Jump ship if you haven't.  You'll be less aggravated every Sunday.

Finally, there's this: "Amazon has designed a floating warehouse that sits thousands of feet in the air, from which the internet retailer could dispatch swarms of delivery drones to metropolitan areas."  This is pretty amazing.  Not much more to say about it, I just think it's cool/terrifying (we keep getting closer and closer to being ruled by robot overlords. . . . ).
