And while we—your ELEVATOR Operators and all you Dear Riders—certainly follow them, we don’t think the headline is entirely accurate when it says “We All Follow.” We’ve been stuck in conversations with folks who blow right past these unspoken rules.  Know them. Follow them.   This Cannabis Startup Pioneered “Rapid Onset” Gummies [Partner]  Most people prefer to smoke cannabis but that isn’t an option if you’re in public. That’s why we were so excited when we found out about Mood’s new Rapid Onset THC Gummies. They can take effect in as little as 5 minutes without the need for a lighter, lingering smells or any coughing. Nobody will ever know you’re enjoying some THC. We recommend you try them out because they offer a 100% money-back guarantee. And for a limited time,  you can receive 20% off with code FIRST20.   SHOP NOW   The Homemade Bar: DIY Bitters Will Make Your Cocktails Pop Making your own bitters and syrups is kind of the move. You don’t have to go all-in with the complexities of home brewing or distilling. But you still get that homemade zhuzh that always impresses house guests.  Let’s get bitter.   What Is the Specific Purpose of These Lines on Towels? There are many philosophical questions when it comes to towels. Plush, fluffy, and always slightly damp or thin and quick-drying? Why must we wash the towel when we only use it when we’re clean? And, our personal favorite, what the heck are those lines for?  No, seriously. Wtf are those for?   The Gospel of Change The worst thing that can happen to some men is that they get everything they ever wanted. The job. The money. The woman. The house. The car. Whatever it is. The problem is, once they get everything, there’s nothing left to blame their unhappiness on. So, they make a radical change. Like quitting their job, buying an RV, and driving around for a year.  We give you… The Gospel of Change. Amen.   The Mixer The step to never skip when popping potatoes into the microwave. Why 30,000 ceramic red poppies are flowing across the tower of London’s lawn. Why elevators have mirrors inside them. The surprising, non-Pennsylvania origins of Philadelphia cream cheese. What it’s like being a V.I.P. at the F1 Miami Grand Prix. The best cities in the States for that car-free life. How Range Rover became a cultural icon. No smoke, no smell, just vibes.* *Partner     /GTFO @peteramend     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
