@wietekekonings w/ @bentewesselink   VIDEO: Inside the Colosseum: Hidden Mechanisms of Ancient Rome Welcome to another Sunday. Our longtime Riders know what that means. But to our new subscribers: On Sundays, we share videos instead of articles. Even we need a sabbath. A one-day break from reading what the internet has to offer. Instead, it’s a day of watching and listening to what the internet has to offer.  Let’s begin with this gem that belongs on the Colosseum tour. Fascinating.   How to Turn Your Iced Coffee into an Incredibly Nutritious Meal [Partner]  In a perfect world, we’d all be eating healthy every day. But the fact is, some days, we don’t have time for fussy eating or health routines. Enter Huel’s Black Edition Ready-to-drink bottles. With 35g of plant-based protein, 27 essential vitamins and minerals, 7g of fiber, and low sugar. Huel makes healthy eating as simple as cracking open a bottle. We favor the Iced Coffee flavor. Because iced coffee is already a part of our usual routine. But they come in four different flavors. Plus, a variety pack. First-timers get 15% off with code EV15May, on orders over $75.   SHOP NOW   VIDEO: Exhibition Tour — Sargent and Paris | Met Exhibitions Why should you care about this? We could tell you John Singer Sargent (1856–1925) was the leading portrait painter of his generation. That he traveled constantly. Lived all over. Rubbed elbows with fascinating subjects. We could tell you all that. But we won’t.  Truth is, these paintings are just nice to look at. Simple as that.   VIDEO: Unmatched Speed! Tomas Slavik's Winning POV | Red Bull Cerro Abajo Valparaíso We’re watching it. Literally from a camera strapped to his helmet. And yet, it’s hard to believe. Tomas Slavik torpedoes down a mountain town at a speed that makes gravity feel like a rumor. The path is toothpick-thin. And the margin for error? Nonexistent. It would be an exaggeration to say this is what getting to a long weekend feels like. But not by much.  How does he do it?   VIDEO: The Flying Car Completes First Ever Inter-city Flight Before we head into the past, let’s take a look at the future. Ah. There’s another housekeeping item for any of you new subscribers. Our Sunday Video sessions always end with a Throwback video. And today, we’re going to slingshot you into it. First, we must pull you into the future to look at the first ever flight of car.  Too soon to ask if it comes with heated seats and bluetooth capability?   Throwback VIDEO: Charlie Chaplin – The Kid – Pancake Scene This is the adult version of morning cartoons. Not that there’s anything wrong with a little animated indulgence. But this? This is silent comedy with pancakes. We repeat. Silent comedy with pancakes. In an era where every comedian feels like a campaign button, we appreciate a well-executed silent bit.  We appreciate it a lot.   The Mixer What it means when you hear locals in Ireland refer to the craic when going out. Nine TSA approved items you didn’t know you could bring on an airplane. How long it takes for a grill to properly heat up. Can you hear electricity? Negotiation tips for buying luxury watches. Is being bored good for your brain? Do we have more than five senses? Vacation starts the moment you slip into these resort-ready threads.* *Partner     /GTFO @kailin.b | Lagos, Algarve, Portugal     Our Gentleman's Agreement We'll keep the free daily newsletters coming.
