Businesses get popped all the time for contracts that have fees or other onerous requirements buried in the "fine print" of a contract. So even though it's "disclosed" it's still prohibited to hide it like that as a deceptive practice. If the kitchen fee is a small footnote on the menu it could be considered deceptive in the same way because an "ordinary consumer" would consider the listed menu price to be the pre-tax total.

That's why the AG should get involved, I'm sure there are laws about "hidden fees" or other consumer protection requirements that they could flex.

You might be able to tell them to take it off the bill. Similar to if you go out with a large party where they tack on a gratuity and have really shitty service you can tell them to remove it as they can't force you to tip.

This seems like the kind of thing that the Attorneys General office should be looking into so that they are prohibited or at least made abundantly clear before you go to eat.

I've seen them (but it's been a while) and they've always put on a good show. That said, I did have to laugh when one of my co-workers said, "The Chili Peppers are just the Rolling Stones of Gen-X."

>New York

It'll always be New Amsterdam to me.

Definitely. A college friend from England came home with me and was weirded out when the highway sign listed a town from next to where he went to school and as he kept seeing other familiar place names.

Or that Fall River has the geese that don't fly.

It's also not made of fire retardant material so don't use it for your kids' pajamas.

>people claim racism is why Fall River is hated

It's an easy mistake though. When people say that they're afraid the rail link will "bring crime" from Fall River to Boston it's assumed to be coded racist language against ethnic minorities. We're really just terrified of matricidal and patricidal white axe-murderesses.

I'm not confused. Home charging for an electric car can be done with a regular 110V outlet, but it is very slow. If you hook it up to a 220V then it will charge overnight and those are common home outlets for electric stoves and dryers. Nobody is looking to put the "quick charge" stations in their homes, those are and will continue to be commercial applications.

>they can't step up the voltage much more at local levels, usually not at all.

Car chargers for the home run on 220V. Are you really trying to say that the current grid cannot supply that voltage to houses?

Check out MassBio as they're the industry organization for the state.

>While we are sleeping we will be using the energy that is usually sold to the US at a loss.

Sounds like the pentagon needs to start planning that invasion across the northern border to protect Canadian's freedom.

I love how the people who are the most jingoistic in their patriotism are also the ones who are most likely to be claiming that we can't switch to EVs because the grid can't handle it.

America developed an atomic weapon in about four years and put a man on the moon in about a decade, but somehow we are incapable of expanding the grid to shift from gas to electric vehicles. I usually point that out and then ask why they don't have any faith in America's abilities.

I heard an interview with him where he talked about how he feels like he screwed up a bit in how he used his money raising his kids. Basically gave them too much money & freedom for the age they were at. IIRC they're okay now but were a bit of a mess when they were young adults.

The general rule of thumb that the victims' lawyer(s) will use is to identify the "deep pockets" that are potentially liable in a lawsuit. I think it's a safe bet that the Apple Store/Company and the mall are going to have deeper pocket than the insurance policy of the guy that drove through it.

They had a 25th anniversary screening of it at a movie theater in Harvard Square a few years back that Bobcat and some others involved were there to talk and do a bit of a Q&A. I have a picture with him and his autograph on my copy of the DVD.

One of my favorite bits of information was that the hickey added just above the bust of Florence Henderson was her idea, Bobcat said his reaction was, "Fuck it. It's your Wesson contract."

No spoilers, but you might want to watch the movie Shakes the Clown as that same question comes up.

My sense of humor is fine...when there's something funny in scope.

Probably, but he found out about Naked Lunch while filming Robocop 2 and reached out so it would've been well before that script presumably.

Good way to deal with it.

I said it in another comment but he turned down Robocop 3 so that he could be in Naked Lunch as he's a huge Burroughs fan.

He turned down Robocop 3 because he wanted to be in Naked Lunch as he was a big fan of Burroughs (he has a signed first edition of it and says the book had a huge impact on him in the 1960s). When he heard about the project he reached out to them offering his services because he wanted to be in it so badly.

I wish more people knew this.

Perpetually pun
