@louisemmikkelsen by @amberlyvalentine   Soap This is a poem. Or rather, a “poem.” Those are air quotes, because it’s unlike any other poem you’ve ever read. But technically, yes, it’s a poem. One that might make you rethink soap. And maybe even fall in love with it. We’re still processing our own feelings in all of this.  Stop and smell the suds, Dear Riders.   Shark Tank’s Biggest Misses? Don’t Let RYSE Be Yours [Partner]  When Ring, the smart doorbell company, went on Shark Tank, they were valued at $7M. Later, after all the Sharks passed, Ring was acquired by Amazon for $1.2B. Now, Dragon’s Den (basically the UK/Canada version of Shark Tank) is proving to be another launchpad for promising brands, and RYSE Smart Shades secured not just one, but two offers from the Dragons. With breakthrough technology, RYSE has already been distributed in 127 Best Buy stores. And for a limited time, you have the chance to invest alongside them.  Invest in the future of smart home technology here.   LEARN MORE   Why Does Metal Feel Colder Than Wood, Even When It’s Actually the Same Temp?

Which one feels colder?  We've got the simple answer. And the atomic-level explanation.   Holiday Tips from a Sommelier: Arrive in Style with the Perfect Bottle We call ourselves the Grapes. The friend group, that is. Wine was heavily involved in the early days of our friendship, so the name stuck. This year, the Grapes are gathering at ours for Thanksgiving. But this somm-level advice works for the hosting side of the equation, too.  Phew.   Julio Torres on Creating Objects and Environments That Have Something to Say It wasn’t planned, but somehow, today’s ELEVATOR Ride was all about objects. Soap, wood, metal, holiday bottles. So why not close things out with the King of Objects himself? He’s the master of turning inanimate objects into the ultimate conversation starters. Just watch My Favorite Shapes on Max. Which, crazy timing, was recommended to us years ago by a Grape.  Mr. Julio Torres, everyone.   The Mixer How to choose the right beers for aging and the return of Goose Island’s Bourbon County Stouts.
