A Starlink antennna would create a lot of reflection in anything metal like a barrel or bathtub (why would you even have a bathtub on the roof?).

Finding it would be very easy as these houses are not huge houses, enter the house, snip the cables.

Besides that, its all hypotetical. Just because in some random shitty neigherhood this issue exists, doesn't mean anything anyway.

No it doesn't create reflections, I got the mini and it looks alright. You seem in disbelief just because my rhetoric doesn't justify your point. However even banks nowadays in Brazil use starlink because overall fiber is disrupted either by crime or drug fiends who thinks fiber is copper.
This is a common Brazilian issue you're dismissing.

Very fitting.

How is it fitting?

A brazilian favela is not a representation for a global satelite network which consumes and produces a lot of energy and co2 to be send up and poisens our atmosphere when theybreak down.

There was no evaluation of the obvouse shitty problem in such areas.

And as i said, metal tubes do break radio signals.

I do not live in the favelas, I live in the suburbs you are assuming stuff to satisfy your point
It's very fitting you're dismissing an issue that's not local to you
Im not dismissing the specific usecase per-se. I dismiss the idea that Starlink is a net positive for society because of a very nice use case.

Starlink still produces a lot of co2 and they can poisen our atmopshere when burning up.

how far can your copium go sir? Talk to any person in the Amazon area or in farms nowadays and you will see the net positive.
