Vehicles like that are usually used for commercial operations where the path was likely chosen ahead of time to not encounter problems like this. Could probably wait until the road is less busy and go back and around with police assistance if it somehow happens anyway.

That's a tablet with a keyboard case
All I'm hearing is potential savings $$$
Haven't been on there since the event, though I do read some threads if they come up in a search. Not intending on returning, though I haven't gotten rid of my old account yet
Sarcasm sure, but I would say that nothing about it is subtle
Right now they're actually doing more launches with less money and waste, but hate on I guess
Relying on buses that get stuck in traffic isn't great
For c to c cables, the devices need to be able to communicate with each other to establish which one is the host (the charger in this case). With a to c cables, the type a side is assumed to be the host by default. You'll often find that manufacturers of cheaper devices prefer not to spend the extra money to implement this technology, though some will, and in fact allow for even more functionality. For example, one of my flashlights does have that chip, so it can both charge from a c to c cable if a charger is detected, and also automatically act as a power bank if I connect a device to it such as a mobile phone.
It's not difficult to find though it can be expensive. I've been using Anker multi port type c chargers for years
Funny, but most heat of reentry is caused by generated plasma as opposed to air resistance (though that is also a component). There is an excellent Scott Manley video about this topic
Starlink is definitely at a loss right now. Despite this, Falcon 9 launch costs are significantly lower for actual customers as well, and the reuse factor cannot be ignored
