So a reason why this is important is because Tesla, at least in the Northeast US, has agreements with a bunch of places that manage rest areas on major highways to be the only EV charger provider at the rest area. Which means people without Teslas have to get off the highway to charge. It's annoying, exclusionary, and kind of a dick move.

Are they with the same branch of government? You're not switching between an agency and a court, for example?

It's from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Beverly was a character on that show who had a complicated but tender relationship with the person pictured.

I mean, considering there was no practical way to make this kind of print before, I think a slightly longer print time is a fine compromise.

This is cool and not that complicated!
For current resin 3d printers you have a vat with resin, a platform that lowers into that vat, and a UV light source below the vat to expose the resin.
For this, they added a second vat that can move relative to the platform and UV light source. So you can swap out materials by moving this platform with two different vats on it.
BUT resin is thick and sticks to the print. So if you're switching material you need to get the old resin off otherwise you'll mess up your print and contaminate the resins. So they added a motor to the platform to spin the old resin off between material switches.
Sounds messy, but it's a cool way to get multi-material resin prints.

this is going to vary widely based on where you live. If you're in Boston, it's a complicated nightmare with training sessions and facebook groups dedicated to deciphering the arcane pagan incantations needed to enroll in Pre K.
If you're in a burb it's usually a little more straightforward.

Rockland doesn't suck. Like, it's not great. But it doesn't suck. I really liked Cambridge Savings Bank when I lived in Somerville, but they have limited branches south of the Charles.

Businesses would usually carry insurance for physical damage to the property they rent. So this would cover losses of the fixtures and physical things inside: chairs, tables, inventory.
You'd need separate insurance for what's called business interruption. It's not something most places buy for a lot of reasons. And even that wouldn't cover the cost of relocating, paying staff while they can't work, etc.
The damage to the building itself would fall under the insurance of the owners of the building, not the businesses renting. (Though the building is owned by two of the resident businesses.)
Basically, there are a lot of knock-on effects from an event like this. Some businesses need to relocate, some are just closed indefinitely. Even if some insurance is available for the owners of the businesses, it's rarely carried, and wouldn't protect the staff of those businesses.
(And I want to note that business interruption insurance usually has a very narrow scope, and doesn't include things like pandemics, which was the most recent time when the few folks who had business interruption insurance got royally screwed by insurance companies.

I think the issue is that your answer explains why it would happen randomly. Not why would it happen every time someone goes past the same point.

Same thing happens to me on Storrow around Clarendon (where Storrow goes under Storrow). Happens every time, both directions. I kind of assume someone has a 2.4 GHz jammer in the area for some reason.

Biodegradable containers can cost 2x-5x what a plastic container does. So the restaurant may be trying to recoup that cost.
