I feel that Starlink will drastically alter this market and open up so much more remote working environments

You're not allowed to use Starlink in other location than you ordered. It's not for nomads.

6.3 You acknowledge that you are only authorized to access Services at the location identified on your Order, and you will not divert the Starlink Kit or Services to any other locations

It starts with title "We need more than deplatforming" which means "deplatforming is good, but it's not enough".

noun: deplatforming; noun: de-platforming

    the action or practice of preventing someone holding views regarded as unacceptable or offensive from contributing to a forum or debate, especially by blocking them on a particular website.
It continues with "Changing these dangerous dynamics requires more than just the temporary silencing or permanent removal of bad actors from social media platforms."

Blocking, silencing and removal does suppress speech.

I doubt that many young people do "high protein / low carb" diet. It's hard to avoid carbs by mistake, especially with young people food like fries, pizza and beer.

"Low carb" diet does not lower your testosterone. "High protein" diet does [1], because proteins will bond with testosterone. Increased magnesium will prevent that [2].

"High fat / low carb" diet will increase your testosterone due to increased dietary fat consumption.

#KillAllWhatever should be banned as well in my book, I'm not defending it.

Thank you.

It is, in the context of the events from the past few weeks

If something is "very precise" in context, then it is not precise. If we have to interpret words, then we have multiple interpretations and everybody can have their own truth. You can't say something is "a very precise call to violence" because of some people may interpret it their way.

His tweet (https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/13469127807005777...) is very precise. "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!"

Calling thousands of supporters to go to the capitol and telling them "you'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong." is a very precise call to violence.

"Kill them", "Attack them", "Burn down that building" is a very precise call to violence. "You have to be strong" is not. "You have to show strength" is not.

#KillAllMen on the other hand is a very precise call to violence, and yet nobody cares about banning that on social media.

Stability of price is good for company, because:

a) middle managers can just do (price x amount of sold items)

b) if price goes down in time then some customers will wait indefinitely for better price

c) good publicity if your item is sold cheaper than competition

d) changing price can be seen as "our product is worth less than we expected"
