Have you ever been sitting in a hot tub and said, “Man, I’d love to be on a boat right now?” Or, maybe you said something like, “I’d kill to be in a hot tub right now,” while you were on a boat? Well, the geniuses over at Hot Tub Boats have put their brains to work, and became good friends with U.S.C.G. (United States Coast Guard) to provide both a hot tub and boat, and have now created what you see above.

Now…let’s get to what you need to know:

The boat is fifteen feet in length, and it can fit six people and has a run time of ten hours. So choose your friends wisely; you’ll be quite close to one another.

The hot tub is eight feet in length and has width of four feet, and a maximum temperature of one-hundred and four degrees (Fahrenheit).

It has beautiful African Teak decks and a swimstep, as well as a waterproof stereo with wired remote for your MP3 player or iPod. So you can finally sing this song, and it will actually make sense.

While we’re on the topic of technical features, it has a 24-volt, joystick operated drive system that allows anyone to drive it—while sitting in pure relaxation. It is battery monitored, and comes with a Smart-Plug shore power connection.

There is no need to have a boaters’ education card to drive, rent or own this dream machine. So, if you’re feeling generous enough, you could let some of your other sea-dwellers drive it, too.

Alcohol is not allowed, which is probably a good thing because they’ve never mixed very well with hot tubs, anyway.

While you can purchase the boats anywhere, their weekday and weekend rentals are only in Seattle, which run Monday-Thursday at $139 an hour—with time slots going from 2-4 hours; however, if you’re going to do a weekend rental (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday), it’ll cost you $159 per hour. And Hot Tub Boats does individual and small group memberships, as well as premium and corporate ones, too.

Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.

If you love science fiction and reading, these classic sci-fi novels are a must
Man reading a book and drinking coffee

It may feel like we were recently living in a science-fiction dystopia life -- and in some ways, we were -- but that doesn't mean that we should simply avoid an entire genre of writing. Hardly. In fact, this is probably the perfect time to explore classic sci-fi books, to see what the masters have written, and maybe even see if someone predicted anything like this. Many, though, simply ignore sci-fi wholly and completely because of an association with robots, aliens, and the like.

Long story short, if you think you don't like sci-fi, you have never read great books from the genre. But indeed, many such books abound, including a number that has delighted generations of readers going back well over 150 years. In fact, one of the best things about so many sci-fi books is their very timelessness. As by definition, this type of fiction breaks away from the norms of the everyday world -- whether slightly twisting things or taking place on entire other worlds -- the stories often feel as fresh and relevant today as when they were published decades ago.
