Tesla Cybertruck will join Dubai’s eclectic police fleet
[ad_1] The force has been criticized at times for a fleet whose vehicles are frequently more about showing off than catching crooks.

Comcast revives ‘E.T.’ to hawk cable and internet service
[ad_1] Comcast quotes Henry Thomas, the actor who plays Elliott, as saying that the short gives fans “everything they want out of a sequel” minus the parts that “could destroy the beauty of the original.” Thomas, we love you, but that’s just not true — it doesn’t really advance the story (apart from showing that […]
