Great that you're doing an AMA on a topic like this!

You replied to an earlier question that orgasm/arousal is keyed closely into the autonomous nervous system, thus making it a primarily physical response not necessarily related to enjoyment.

This might go a bit our of your area, but I've previously heard that soldiers get aroused before/during/after combat (also, men ^{presumably also women?} get aroused in all kinds or weird and inappropriate situations ^{can confirm, am man} ). Do you know whether this is related to the same kind of response to fight-or-flight situations (high-stress, surprising, etc.)? Or are there other effects that play into this in such situations?

You can purchase Outernet-made hardware from the outernet store, and you can build a DIY receiver (all you need is a computer, Linux, and a Linux-compatible DVB-S2 tuner, see list here).

Usage of outernet is free of charge, once you have receiver hardware. The receiver software is open source (see wiki article above).

Outernet can be used anywhere there is (sufficient) satellite coverage (see the coverage map), that's most populated areas on Earth (including big cities).

If you experience power loss, you might be able to continue receiving if all your equipment is battery-powered (or has a backup power source). If your reception does indeed cut out, e.g. due to weather as you mentioned or due to actual loss of power, you will miss that part of the broadcast. Outernet will broadcast both current data (e.g. tweets, news, etc.) that is usually one-time only (since it's mostly relevant close to time of publication), so you will not be able to get that data usually. However, other data (e.g. important Wikipedia pages) are part of the "core" dataset and will be rebroadcast regularly, so you'll get them after a little while (I'm not sure on what the turn-over for the core dataset is currently or in the future, but I'm guessing a few days).

Outernet is a data broadcast service (as Syed describes in this answer), so no data goes directly from the users back to the servers.

As Syed describes here and here, content is currently being suggested by users (people on the internet) and selected by the Outernet team, but the selection process will eventually be entirely community-driven. For people without regular internet access, they are planning to implement a request system using SMS, WhatsApp and similar services (see this answer).

Yes, the Lantern receiver is being fashioned for L-band reception when used mobilely (it can optionally be used with a dish for higher-bandwidth Ku-band reception), see their latest blog post.

In case Syed misses this question, he described in an answer earlier that the hardware designs are already or are becoming open source, as is the receiver software and librarian (the local wifi server software).
