The UEV-440 Trailer is like a Swiss Army Knife You Can Sleep In

I don’t care who you are – we’ve all had those daydreams of selling all our belongings, buying an old RV or teardrop trailer, and roadtripping across the country in a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants, Kerouac-style adventure. It’s definitely a tempting prospect, but before you hit up craigslist in search of a busted-ass Winnebago you can tow behind your Jeep, we highly recommend you check out this uber-badass trailer from Conqueror Australia.

We’ve seen some pretty amazing mobile living spaces before –including this one designed by an ex-NASA employee, and even a roof-mounted tent that folds out from the top of your car– but this one definitely takes the cake. Not only is it designed to handle practically any terrain you drag it through, it’s also has more features and functionality than most freestanding houses.

When it’s all folded up and compacted, the UEV-440 looks basically like any other trailer (save for some distinctly paramilitary exterior styling) but on the inside, it’s anything but. Like something of a tow-behind Swiss Army Knife, it folds out from its compact size to become an absolutely massive living space. Check out the video to see what we mean:

On the right side of this beast, there’s and entire kitchen and pantry — complete with a fold out food prep table, collapsible kitchen sink, dish storage space, fridge, freezer, and more storage shelves than you’ll know what to do with.

On the left, you’ll find even more storage, as well as a fold out panel that provides the interior with additional space. Fold-out panels like this can be found all over the trailer, as the entire thing is packed with expandable waterproof canvas sections that make it more roomy. Like a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, this badboy can transform into a giant canvas tent.

We’ll let you dig into the remaining list of awesome features on your own, but in summary, this thing is an exercise in compactness and efficiency. Hell, even the spare tire grate doubles as three-legged grill you can put over the fire. And that’s just one of the models Conqueror Australia has to offer — check out the rest of the lineup here.

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.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud
Ai Wong comedian 2017 Moontower comedy festival

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

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.
