@phoscarbueno w/ @emilydeytaysage   NBC’s Olympics Broadcast Isn’t Just Addictive. It’s a New Era of Streaming We don’t remember watching a second of the Tokyo 2020 (that was really in 2021) Olympics. And this year, we have the stream up all day like a savvy screensaver. Have we changed? Or has the way in which we stream things changed?  How about that badminton?   These $1 Frames Look Like a Million Bucks [Partner]  Zenni’s collection of glasses is insane. From designer names to extremely affordable, they have a style and price for everyone. But what’s even more insane is this flash sale they just announced. You select your frames. Then, customize your lenses to reach at least $24. And boom. You’ve just unlocked $1 frames. A buck. One single buckaroo for glasses. When’s the last time you paid just a dollar for anything? Let alone stylish eyeglasses with custom lenses? The only catch is that when the products are sold out, they're gone. Shop the sale now, while supplies last.  Which won’t be long.   SHOP NOW   Here’s Why You Get All Your Best Ideas in Your Post-workout Shower, According to Science Fresh out of ideas? Tell your boss you need a workout and a shower. Preferably in that order. It’s just good science. And hygiene. There’s a better chance of generating more and often better ideas in there. So drop and give us 20, lather up, and call us with your brightest.  It should be called brainshowering.   Steak Myths You Thought Were True We recently read somewhere that “An offense that shatters an illusion is a kindness in disguise.” So don’t take offense to the headline assuming you thought all these were true. You’re going to know some. You’re not going to know some. The important thing is you’ll know more moving forward.  How kind is that?   How the Italian Tradition of “La Passeggiata” Changed My Evenings We recently shared an article about living la dolce vita. Let’s keep it going with the tradition of “La Passeggiata.” Don’t let the fancy words fool you. It’s basically the almost forgotten art of f*cking around. You know, walk around your neighborhood, create a visor with your hand while looking through the front windows of a new store opening, pop into the local cheese shop, that kind of thing.  Anyone can do it.   The Mixer The hardest working countries. How to “season” your cocktail with soy sauce. The best U.S. cities for book lovers. Why we believe in urban legends. How to tell good whiskeys apart from bad. The secret to corn on the cob. Apollo, the genius parrot. Can we legally require AI chatbots to tell the truth?     /GTFO @henzstlls | Pacifica, California     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
