Maxheader's JournalI now have wifi capability...For downloading apps for a drone...
I installed a netgear wireless ac adapter..AC600 Dual Band..
Can I now run a tablet if I buy one? I'm trying to get setup for flying a drone with realtime video.
From what I've read, this can be done with a smart phone, which I don't have, a tablet or there are now
smart controllers that have an integrated screen, which require apps to be downloaded to setup the drone.

Kansas attorney general gives Gov. Laura Kelly until Friday to drop welfare plan..
What a worthless p.o.s....Another winger hateful of helping the needy..The handjob isn't even real sure whether her plan "violates either the letter or spirit of state law"...
The Republican attorney general is telling the Democratic governor that a new policy from the Department for Children and Families violates either the letter or spirit of state law. The policy allows some adults without children to receive welfare even if they dont meet work requirements.
Schmidts deadline moves the two officials closer to a legal showdown over how much power Kelly and her agencies have regarding welfare policy. The outcome may affect whether some Kansans can remain on assistance.
Kelly has stood by the policy and her office plans a news conference Thursday to address the issue. She has long been critical of the states restrictions on welfare, which lawmakers placed into law under former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback.

Kohack...running for ks senator...
Must have gotten over the shock of losing the govnrsihip to a democrat...hee heeee
Still a total whack job...still sees an illegal behind every bush....Still licking cheetox shoes..
LEAVENWORTH Republican Kris Kobach settled speculation about the next phase of his career Monday by declaring his candidacy for the U.S. Senate with a message tethered to restraint of illegal immigration, a new era of government austerity and praise for President Donald Trump.
Kobach, still dealing with political fallout from losing the 2018 gubernatorial race to Democrat Laura Kelly, established a Kobach for Senate committee and divulged his plans to 100 supporters at a Leavenworth rally. Hes competing for the seat held by retiring Republican Sen. Pat Roberts.
This is not a time for a quiet senator, he said. Its not a time for a senator who wants to make everybody happy, doesnt want to take a stand. Its not a time for a senator whos Republican-lite.
Kobach said he would carry the flag in the Senates fight for more border wall and press to halt spending of tax dollars on undocumented migrants. He pledged to never vote for a tax increase and would oppose growth of the federal government. He promised to apply a constitutionalists defense to the right to carry firearms and limit abortion and to oppose the Affordable Care Act.
His entrance into the field elicited a swift reaction from Republicans, Democrats and potential rivals. He was reminded of both his loss last year in the statewide race for governor and his unsuccessful 2002 bid for U.S. House.
Kris Kobach is pushing the same extreme, and often unconstitutional, policies he imposed as secretary of state, said Vicki Hiatt, chair of the Kansas Democratic Party. Kansans defeated Kobach twice before, and were confident Kobach will strike out in 2020.
Kansas Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, an Overland Park Republican, threw water on a Kobach candidacy.
He will have a lot to prove to the Republican Party, Denning said. For one, he has to prove he is able to run a viable campaign. His 2018 gubernatorial campaign can be described as disorganized and amateurish at best. The Kansas GOP needs someone who can support and energize our party. Kobach had his shot, fell short and was handed defeat in the 2018 general election.
No Democrat has won a U.S. Senate seat in Kansas since the 1930s, and the state has been captured by the GOP presidential nominee since the 1960s.
Kobach said Trump was very encouraging of his political aspirations when they spoke several days ago.
Kobach said much of the political establishment in Washington, D.C., would prefer Kansans elect a new senator who would quietly vote to expand government, decline to act on principle and do little to rock the boat. He said the nation would be in a downward spiral if not for Trumps election because Democrats were aggressively pushing a socialist agenda.
Our national sovereignty is at stake. Our constitution is at stake. Our economy is at stake. Our families are stake, he said. Thats why Ive decided to launch this campaign. I will help the president make America great again.
Jack Pandol, spokesman for the Senate Leadership Fund, said the imperative was to elect a Kansas Republican to follow Roberts and pointed to Kobachs loss in the governors race. He said Kansans deserved a Senate nominee who could be victorious in the statewide contest and help prevent the Senate from falling into hands of Democrats.
Kobach, a rural Lecompton resident and two-term Kansas secretary of state, could find himself in a crowded primary in August 2020. He narrowly won the gubernatorial primary last year against Gov. Jeff Colyer, but sealed defeat in the general election by failing to broaden his political appeal.
Kobach recently sought a White House staff job tied to national immigration policy under Trump, who endorsed his candidacy for governor.
Old 3G broadband...
Use an old MC760 modem for virgin mobile 'broadband to go'. Their online billing sucks, and the
speeds vary..forget access during evening hours..high usage times..
So I'm looking to switch. My acer computer doesn't apparently have wifi?..Wireless capability.
Virgin mobiles next plan..(now is 40$) up is 55$...and I believe I need to get another modem,
wireless? device. And if the desktop isn't wireless ready...another laptop that is.
I believe this covers the basics of what i need to do to go to 4G..And then picking a provider,
Geeze, velocity has a tower about a mile and a half, as the crow flies..65$/month..(moan)..
But it looks like most provider are in that cost area..plus they offer mucher high speeds and
you don't have DATA CAP RESTRICTIONS..
Is my understanding on the hardware I need ok?... Routers, etc..do they enhance anything?
thank you
Wingers in kansaa...a bunch of low rent handjobs..
Accusing Laura of illegal administrative actions..But don't believe for one second they'd complain about
the yellow haired traitor in washington using such tactics...
And fuck you waggler..(r. from wichititi)
Republicans seething over a policy shift that makes it easier for some Kansans to obtain food stamps are worried Gov. Laura Kelly could attempt to expand the states Medicaid program through administrative action.
It isnt clear whether Kelly, a Democrat, could deploy Medicaid expansion in defiance of a 2014 law that specifically requires legislative approval, and there is no indication her administration is considering ways to do so.
Still, Republican leaders point to a Kansas Department for Children and Families directive to use federal exemptions for work requirements with the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program as evidence the governor is willing to bypass restrictions in state law.
The administration has proven it is willing to use unlawful executive action to allow able-bodied adults without dependents to continue receiving SNAP benefits, said House Majority Leader Dan Hawkins, R-Wichita. We simply cannot trust it to respect the law when it comes to Medicaid expansion.
Mike Kuckelman, chairman of the Kansas Republican Party, said the party is working with legislative leadership to prepare for the possibility that Kelly will attempt to use executive action to expand Medicaid in Kansas.
Kansans should be vigilant that Gov. Kelly may attempt to expand other programs, including Medicaid, in a manner that violates Kansas law or intrudes upon the Legislatures right to legislate, Kuckelman said. This is an extreme overreach of power, and no Kansan should be comfortable with a governor that governs in this dangerous manner.
Kelly made Medicaid expansion a top goal of her administration, highlighting the potential economic impact and support from chambers of commerce across the state.
The Kansas Health Institute estimates an additional 130,000 low-income adults and children would gain access to health care coverage through Medicaid expansion. The estimated cost to the state would be $47.4 million in the first year, but the investment would unlock a billion dollars in federal funding that could spur the economy and boost tax collections.
Democrats in the House joined moderate Republicans in forcing passage of an expansion package earlier this year, but Senate leadership batted back attempts to move the legislation forward. Senate Majority Leader Jim Denning, R-Overland Park, instead offered to produce a new bill through an interim Senate committee and bring the issue to a vote in January.
The governors office didnt rule out the possibility of taking administrative action on Medicaid expansion but made it clear that the preferred route is through the Legislature.
Its no secret, Kelly said, that I was disappointed when one GOP leader insisted on playing politics and blocking the will of the people as lives hung in the balance. But Im encouraged that Sen. Denning has publicly promised to finally allow full debate and a vote on Medicaid expansion in 2020. Ill continue to work with all Kansans to ensure he keeps his promise.
A law passed in 2014 served as insurance in case Republican Gov. Sam Brownback failed to win re-election. The statute says Medicaid eligibility cant be expanded unless the Legislature expressly consents to, and approves of, the expansion of Medicaid services by an act of the Legislature.
In 2017, the Legislature passed a Medicaid expansion plan. Brownback vetoed the plan, and its support fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to override the governor.
This year, Denning attempted to strengthen the 2014 law by adding more restrictive language to the state budget, but his amendment was stripped during negotiations late in the session.
Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, D-Topeka, said he doesnt think it is possible to expand Medicaid without legislative approval.
I would seriously doubt that Gov. Kelly would attempt to circumvent the law, Hensley said. Theres a conspiracy theory at work here that is really misplaced.
April Holman, executive director of the Alliance for a Healthy Kansas, which lobbies for Medicaid expansion, said she doubts administrative action is being seriously considered.
This would be at best a risky move, Holman said. We would like to see people actually have access to insurance to help them receive affordable health care, so we dont want to see something that would jeopardize that.
Republican leaders lurched at the opportunity to criticize the governor in the wake of the DCF decision to use a federal exemption on work requirements. Legislation passed in 2015 blocks the agency from seeking a federal waiver, which is granted when there arent available jobs, as was the case during the 2008 financial crisis.
Federal rules require able-bodied adults who receive food assistance to work 20 hours per week, but the requirement only applies to 85 percent of the states caseload. The Kelly administration has embraced the wiggle room for the remaining 15 percent an exemption in the parlance of federal bureaucracy that wasnt utilized under the administrations of Brownback and Gov. Jeff Colyer.
Sadly, Laura Kelly is following the socialist, Democratic playbook by violating the law in attempt to grow the welfare state in Kansas, said Senate President Susan Wagle, R-Wichita. While our governor would prefer to keep people dependent on government programs, the majority of Kansans understand the need to provide a helping hand while ensuring that able-bodied adults become contributing members to society and achieve self-sufficiency.
Kelly was a state senator from Topeka when the waiver restriction was passed in 2015.
Dena Sattler, spokeswoman for Kelly, said the governor remembers the spirit in which some members of the Legislature supported this law, but she is more concerned with the actual law as written and with the spirit of DCFs work to provide food assistance to those in need.
Karen Siebert, a public policy adviser for Harvesters, the community food network, said the Kelly administration clearly was acting within the bounds of federal guidelines. Harvesters supports the expansion of the safety net, Siebert said.
Several vulnerable population groups need food assistance but fail to meet the work requirements, Siebert said. They include 18-year-olds who are leaving foster care without a family, homeless veterans, convicted felons, victims of domestic violence and people who are disabled but havent yet received disability status.
Siebert said she was bothered by language that implies some people refuse to meet the work requirements.
Many people in that situation have significant barriers to employment, Siebert said. Most people, if you can work, you do work.
And just how well will this work out?
Gov. Kelly asks for federal aid for 49 counties
https://www.greatplainsumc.org/files/website/news/flood+2019+-+elwood+ks.jpg?width=600
Gov. Laura Kelly is asking the federal government for assistance recovering from all of the storms and tornadoes and flooding tormenting the state. On Sunday, her office said it sent a request to President Donald Trump, requesting aid for nearly half of Kansas counties.
"Kansas is experiencing damage from severe weather and historic flooding due to extended heavy rain," Kelly said. We are working with our local, state, and federal partners to ensure Kansans have the resources they need at this challenging time.
The Kansas Dept. of Emergency Management has also reached out to other states for an advanced team to help them coordinate interstate requests and mapping the region.
As we work with impacted communities, I want to ensure that every resource is being brought to bear to assist local emergency personnel so we can keep people safe and limit damage to property," Kelly added.
Considering stumpys willingness to work with a liberal governor? May be
it will also consider that kansas still has a lot of donnybots running around...
South central kansas resident...
Out in the country..love to ride the township roads..Went out yesterday on the hardrock to see what damage had been done over the last few weeks. Lots of flooding going on right now. No water across the roads but the ditches are full. It's kinda overpowering to see so much water in places it shouldn't be..I was born during the 51' flood in kansas..There are water lines still there in the barns where the water was up around 6 foot high..What's amazing to me is that if you look around that area, it's perfectly flat. To have gotten so much rain that it could flood the area like that is..crazy...
We could get another 2 - 5 inches over the next 3 or 4 days. Probably had over 10 inches the last week or so...By now everyone is cool..staying out of high water with their cars..People watching out for kids playing near fast moving water...
I'm f*&65ing starving!!
Only been on the 24 hour low carb diet for a pet scan, about 2 hours..
Its all in my head..hid the cake made yesterday, no bread! No sweets...
called them and asked about peanut butter on crackers..no, nein..nada..
She kinda laughed...I suppose she goes through this with people just
starting to realize the limits of this..didn't read the instructions until
right before the 24 hour start time...like me..Who the hell drinks decaf coffee?...
