Finding Humour in the Strangest of Places:
Last year, Nissan told prospective buyers that using so-called rapid chargers should only take 40 minutes "in moderate driving conditions" for an 80% charge. They subsequently changed that to between 40 and 60 minutes.

There appears to be no problem with the first two charges on any given day .. It is only when drivers come to charge for the third time - or the second rapid charge - that some have said they face long waits.

The problem is 'we' the audience just want to see 1 of 2 things:
Failure or a Fight.
When we see failure, a part of us applauds it ( "At least it aint me!")
When we see a fight, the Adrenalin gets up, and we say the same thing in different tones *(At least it aint me).
We tend to watch both like a slow moving train-wreck, or an accident on the roadway: We pass slowly, trying to strain to see all the little bits and pieces, for no other reason than to be able to say "At least it aint me... today"

The only Truly "Harmful" 'Grass':
Scotts and Monsanto started working on the Roundup-resistant version in the 1990s. It was to be the first commercial GE grass. As scientists had done with corn and soy, they used bacteria to insert a segment of DNA into the bentgrass genome, which allowed the plant to survive a dose of the herbicide even as neighboring weeds withered.

@adam "Can't monetize the network" - :
It’s a quintessential example of the “tragedy of the commons.” As Eghbal wrote, “Fundamentally, digital infrastructure has a free rider problem.
