Question here, why do the cameras I need to only connect to that one? Using an extender won't create a truly separate net, some might create a NAT to look separate but you can still connect from the extenders net to the host net.

I know Finland isn't exactly friendly with Russia, but the fact that you argue this from an instance run by someone a hop and a skip from Moscow is a beautiful irony...

All trolls, no, but given the notorious prevalence of media manipulation seen out of the region it's a given that some not insignificant portion of the loudest voices are here looking to cause trouble.

WiFi continually beacons out to try and find previously connected networks and will select for the best signal from an AP it can reach. Extenders can be a trick if you're sitting in the 'crossover' space between the extender and the back haul it connects to.

What you might try instead is one of those distributed AP systems like Unifi or similar where all the APs are controlled by a switch and work in unison. The one I have at least has an ability to disconnect someone if they drop below a certain level and migrate them to another AP without breaking the session states.

The other option that I can think of is just turning off the auto connect for the extender net and only using that manually.

What's the odds that these things don't become regular theft targets, even of the drones themselves? Porch pirates are enough of a thing now, can't see any of them feeling bad about robbing a robot.

We've permitted bribery for years with that alternate name of lobbying, nothing new really there.

The official acts thing is far more troubling particularly since as I understand it they left the declaration of what is 'official' ambiguous saying the lower courts would have to decide on each case. If so it opens a door for years of infighting as different districts decide their preferred person was working as president or candidate in any given action.

True, I'm more referring to the primaries in 2016 and 2020. You get all too many around here clamoring for 3rd party protest votes or disengagement.

Even with the sketchy goings on during those two, if there was an overwhelming vote for Bernie (who's no younger mind you, but it's an alternate that appeals to a different demographic) it'd be a tough sell to go against that even if the party did get a court to agree they could.

Even without party backing though, if there was a particular person that people took to en-masse the rules don't preclude them from office or appearing on national ballots. Look at Trump, people at first wrote him off as a joke, similar to the other times he ran before, now he's a major threat to both parties.

If only folks had gotten off their tail and voted for an alternate candidate rather than sitting on the couch whining about our political system and making memes...

Then a new theory emerges, the lost filling pie earth, in which the creator was actually in the midst of forming the planet, got distracted and threw the shell in the oven without the contents.

This has the added benefit of explaining global warming and it conveniently fits over the shell of a giant turtle.

Because you can put in those equal rights laws and enforce them, along with all the various other things like building roads and schools and such. To think you can just outlaw racism and such is foolish though. You would be trying to literally tread into thought police territory there.

Don't recall where I indicated any of them where controversial, care to point it out? I simply pointed that this complaint of 'no progress' is ignoring some pretty major progress over the years.

Racism, homophobia, and the like are not a matter that can be solved politically. One can make all the affirmative action and equal rights rules you like but the issue at the root is society and culture based. Educational standards are being fought against in our most conservative states pushing for religious indoctrination and denying historical reality.

You have a wing that actively pushes the militarization of the police over community support and engagement, and those same people trying to turn society back to the 'traditional norms' as they existed before the civil rights movement.

Given the realities of the need to actually get votes through, just how would you suggest those things be fixed?
