you should go beyond merely sounding reasonable and actually be reasonable
The neckbeard thrives on the cognitive dissonance of the host. If they attempt too much reason they'll be flooded with adrenaline and cortisol and they'll start lashing out randomly.
Can anyone with more knowledge than me explain (perhaps in layman's terms) what's actually NEW about this latest guess? And why it has any more weight than the physics of Star Trek, of Interstellar, or even of your average 1950s B Movie?
This isn't Star Trek stuff, it is Stargate.
What the Jaffa scientists discovered here is that Earthlings do not yet have the technology to build their own Stargate network, because the only wormholes they know how to create are longer paths instead of shortcuts. So we still have to either use the Ancient gate network, or else just fly.
If I only had a five digit UID or better yet four, then I'd really be someone.
The only observable difference is that you're expected to make self-effacing ageist jokes. When you're old enough to have a lawn to chase people off, you'll still be a nobody.
Usually if your comments "never show" it means you're blocking one JS domain too many and it is actually just the button isn't working and you didn't submit anything. When that happens it usually means you forgot your meds, so crawl around on the floor until you find some. Living my best life on slashdot!
You don't seem to appreciate that they can fold out solar panels, they're not limited to the sides of a cube. Also they could collect power all day and store it in a battery, and only run the LEDs for a short time.
Also you would not have multiple surfaces illuminated.
As for the time out of sunlight at low Earth orbit, it can be as low as zero, and in practice these are already popular orbits.
Your numbers are not best case, they're lower than worst case.
And yet, there doesn't seem to be any strong correlation between the defective items I've received and the crumpled boxes.
I blame the person who knew n% of the devices were defective, and instead of testing them and selling me one that works they just sold them all and made people demand refunds.
When I write a bad review, often the seller offers to refund my purchase and let me keep the item free, to get me to change the review.
I've even had them unilaterally refund the sale, and then beg for a change to the review.
The practice disgusts me, and I would never engage in it. I leave a review as a courtesy to other consumers, not as a courtesy to the seller. If they give me a refund based on the review, that says nothing about what other consumers should expect the product to be like when it arrives.
Writing a quality bad review is much much harder than writing a quality good review. If you sound unreasonable, it might make people less trusting of other bad reviews nearby. You could accidentally help your competitor that way.
Just based on difficulty though, it is going to cost way more than paying for good reviews of your own product.
The lower star reviews tell me what the downsides are, which doesn't necessarily mean the item won't work for me.
This is definitely the way to go. I read a lot of reviews before I purchase something, and I only care about the bad or moderate reviews. Good reviews are almost always useless even if legit.
What upsets people who buy it? If a bunch of humans, from planet Earth, actually bought the item, some of them didn't like it. Or thought it would be different than it was. By the words they choose in their complaints I can usually tell if the problem is something that is going to bother me too, or not.
When buying a new laptop, I ended up choosing the lowest rated Thinkpad according to the reviews at the Lenovo store. But the top three complaints were: The optional keyboard backlight is too bright, the 10-key pad makes the main keyboard slightly offset from the middle of the monitor, and the cheapest screen option has variable build quality.
If you wanted the 10-key on a laptop, you already knew the spacing would be different. And even with the best screen, it was cheaper than the same thing with the cheap screen and no 10-key. The bad reviews from people who selected poorly pushed the price way down.

How does making an appointment stop it from being your money?
Yeah, they can't break the "internet," but they're welcome to install firewalls on their side and screw up their intranet as bad as they want.
I don't really care if they use routers for firewalls, or if they just throw their people in a gulag for PEBKAC. My packets route the same.

That is also why removal is so dangerous.

Wow, that is so stupid I'm not even gonna explain it. But for the record, "Yer rong."
Unless you have the right security clearance, it just has some Jaffa's misspelled name on it.

I would be heavily in favour of the death penalty for this moron.
The focus should be on fixing security holes, rather than draconian punishments for those who inevitably exploit them.
Can't we do both?
What is your theory as to why we can't have nice things?
Yikes! That is scary.
I'm glad I'm in a State where you're not allowed to pump your own gas. That isn't even a thing here.

They have a US presence so US law probably does apply to them. They need FAA clearance to actually do it. It won't really happen.
If they really do it they'll probably get fined by most of the countries they do business in.
"Who has the pee-pee tape?"
This is the absolute dumbest idea. The absolute dumbest.

They just buy it from themselves, eat Amazon's cut, and nothing ships.
Currently, fake reviews cost the processing fee of one order, plus writing costs.
