The Boston Celtics will make the trip to Illinois to take on the Chicago Bulls in the second game of a back-to-back on this Saturday (Jan. 24) night after gutting out a double-overtime win vs. an Eastern Conference foe in New York City the night before.The Celtics could be without at least one of the regular starters in the tilt if the injury report remains the same, but exhaustion from the especially long contest on the first half of the back-to-back is a more likely threat to Boston racking up another win.

The company pretty much invented the hardware superstore when it began in 1978, just by being so big. They inflated the neighborhood tool shop into a whole city of lumber, hammers, caulk, power saws, and big rolls of wire.

Nouchi titled the collection “Alien” after the sci-fi horror movie franchise he wasn’t allowed to watch as a child. “I heard the sounds in my room of the screams and the slime, and I was terrified. So I had nightmares of this movie before seeing it,” he said backstage before the show.This season, the…

Tesla’s self-driving Robotaxis have been operating in Austin, Texas, with a safety monitor in the passenger seat, a trained person who can intervene in case anything goes wrong with the autonomous vehicle. On Thursday, CEO Elon Musk announced the monitor would no longer be in the car, which was positioned as a major step forward in the company’s capabilities to operate autonomously without human intervention. Turns out, it’s not quite that simple. Electrek reported that, based on social media videos, it appears that Tesla hasn’t actually gotten rid of the safety monitor. Instead, the company has seemingly simply moved the…
