If I were some paid shill, wouldn't I be posting as an AC like you? After all, your account type is perfect for sock puppeting and trolling.
Where as I actually logged in.
AC's have no grounds to criticize the posting history or conduct of people that ACTUALLY log in.
If you have something to say about the issue. Fine. But you don't get to talk about me or anyone else that logs in. For all anyone knows you're advocating pedophilia in other threads. No one would know because you're too chicken shit scared to post under even a fake name. And with this you still presume to judge me?
If it doesn't cross the threshold from the internet then its typically a non-issue. Some of these twitter retards are getting legislation written to support their various causes and getting politicians to take them seriously. They're also effecting what corporations do...
Look, legit social commentary or legit issues are one thing. But the problem is that the politicians, media, and corporations can't tell the difference between a legit issue and fucking trolls. And that being the case, they really have no business even dipping a toe in... you need to know the difference.
This is a core aspect in business, politics, and media. That "is he fucking with me" sense that keeps businesses from getting conned out of money, keeps politicians from getting outwitted by a political opponent, and keeps the media from reporting any old bullshit any random person tells them.
The issue is that these institutions don't seem to have functional bullshit detectors as regards the internet. And that being the case, they can't interact with it in the same way they interact with the conventional world. In the conventional world they are pretty good at figuring out if someone is lying to them. But on the internet... they're demonstrably clueless.
They're so bad that I've looked their PR people that they hire to filter this stuff for them... and they're fucking trolls themselves. I mean... that's like hiring a fucking bank robber to guard the vault. That's how blind they are.
No, it doesn't take thousands of years. As I said, they have a survival strategy more akin to bacteria or algae. They die easily but they adapt very quickly.
You've seen the bacteria become resistant to anti bionics. it is a similar situation.
You kill 98 percent of the bacteria... and what remains is resistant. Eventually if you keep dosing the same bacteria with the same anti biotics... it will become immune.
Which doesn't mean you can't kill 98 percent of it again with something else. And of course, if you stop hitting it with those anti biotics, it will actually lose the resistance.
The jury is more out on those matters than the progressive activists would like to have people believe.
The 98 percent consensus for example arrived at that number by collecting a big sample of published papers and citing any paper that referenced climate change as the author supporting the most extreme predictions of climate change.
This included papers that argued against climate change.
The issue with climate change is that its too political to be scientific at this point. People aren't being rational on the issue. People get angry and get invested in their tribal entanglements. And because of that they can't with integrity claim to be forming opinions based on science... especially when a great many of the supporters have made zero effort to actually research the issue. Most of them didn't get past those little cartoons with the squiggly sun rays. And then they enter discussions can claim "science"... because of the squiggly sun ray cartoon they saw.
So much of it is cargo cult science. Remember that polar bear article we saw about how they are eating dolphins now... evidence? One researcher saw one dolphin getting eaten by a polar bear... the dophin in question appears to have just died and then been scavanged by the polar bear. Which is something polar bears have been eating since always. If a dead human washed up on the ice the polar bears would eat that too. Its free calories.
But these things are in the news without irony all the time. And because of that the reports have to be read with great skepticism because there is clearly a political agenda on the issue.
My opinions on climate change? I don't know. I know only that the people telling me to trust them have a track record of being wrong and don't seem to have the requisite scientific humility and integrity to be able to self correct their own errors. And for me at least, that would suggest that they're not very good scientists in the first place regardless of the issue.
I'd really prefer if a different crop of people were working on this... not people that ascribed whatever my ideology happens to be but rather people that examined the issue indifferent to the political advantage of any of the factions.
Until that happens, any report on this subject has to be taken with a grain of salt. Price of making Al Gore and Bill Nye the spokespeople of the thing.
You know those islands made out dead coral? Yeah... how did those get there? The thing is that coral is really really sensitive and dies really really easily. But its a species with a survival strategy more like bacteria then barn owls.
Yes, they die... they die easily and they die in huge numbers. But there are huge numbers of them to die. And while some die, some also survive. And this means that coral actually evolves very quickly. Any adaptation tends to not make it less death prone but the new strain of coral is happy in the new ocean conditions.
Change the temperate of the water? Coral dies. Touch the coral? The coral dies. Change the ocean chemistry in anyway? The coral dies.
Its super sensitive. But that's okay. Because while some coral dies some lives. And the coral that survives won't die to whatever killed their sires.
This is Tuesday for coral. Nothing new.
Does that mean we should f' up the coral and not care about damage we do the environment? Of course not... that's f'ing stupid. However, we also need to be less ignorant in the way we respond to issues.
I'm seeing people freak out about tress being cut down to make paper for example and the morons complaining about this tend to not realize that the trees being cut down were literally planted like we plant corn to produce paper/lumber trees.
Paper is as renewable a resource as cucumbers. We're not running out of either.
And the coral situation is analogous in that people are not grasping that the resiliency of coral is not in that it doesn't die but that it dies and adapts.
We have this big wide open beautiful world and it is full of many diverse species that all have different survival strategies. The strategies of ground squirrels are not going to be the same as the strategies of honey bees or the strategies of pine trees or the strategies of coral.
Its the 21st century, chaps. Stop freaking out like a bunch of fucking peasants.
You know, you've been trolling me so long and so predictably that other people are starting to notice you right? I mean... you're an AC that starting to get known because you're so predictable. You're not the first but it is a small and rather notorious circle you're joining there, ol' bingo the clowno.;)
Wrong. it is the people that think a typo actually is relevant in this venue that are tools.
Everyone but the tools knows that. You're obviously too proud to admit how stupid you looked back there, so just for future reference, citing a typo and then using that to support your laughable claims to superiority will backfire.
Kindly learn from your mistakes. Having you admit them here is apparently too much to expect. So just learn. I don't think that is unreasonable.
Only made possible by a credulous media that megaphones the internet drama and tries to turn it into a story thus giving real political power to fucking halfwits.
Which has what to do with stupid hippies protesting a bridge getting widened?
Oh that's right... I forgot, hippies don't need logic. They just have feelings.
Everyone has feelings. And no one has to care about them. Give me a coherent argument. Not some crap youtube video that apparently is more about vietnam than anything.
there's nothing new about this technology. We've had this technology longer than either of us have been alive... combined.
They used a super conducting magnet to magnetically lock a board over a magnetic surface. I believe this is called "quantum locking"?... look at this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
its not new and you can't use it for any of the things you think you can use it for until we have room temperature super conductors.
Who pissed in my cornflakes? Hmmm... so if someone came out and said "Look at this dragon I created!"... and they made it look like they actually had a dragon but really... it was all a hoax... you'd say I was a bad person for pointing out it was a fraud? Even if lots of gullible nitwits ACTUALLY thought it was a real dragon?
And never mind again that if this technology were actually real... the fucking LAST thing I would do with it would be to make a floating skateboard.
Think of the invention of the wheel. Think of all the things we did with the wheel before we used it in skateboards. That is basically how important skateboards are... aka not at fucking all... even a little. Utterly without meaning.
If I had hover technology... I could do truly wonderful things. For everyone... but a fucking skateboard? ANd its it even better than a normal one? No... its worse. Its worse than a normal skateboard. I can go anywhere on hard surfaces with a normal skateboard. I would need some special conductive track or magnetic track just to use this stupid floating skateboard. And where am I going to find a big skate track with expensive rare earth magnets buried shallowly under the road? Oh that's right... nowhere.
I don't like being lied to and I don't like frauds.
So who pissed in my cornflakes? Lexus/Toyoda did. Fuck them.
You've been on the internet too long to be this stupid. Presuming superiority for finding a typo is idiotic. Aka it is the opinion that an idiot would have... I don't think you're an idiot.
I think you're upset and want to score points. But you couldn't think of a better way to do it... so you chose... the typo argument.
Dumb. Kindly stop being stupid. Acting stupid ACTUALLY makes you look stupid.
Internet veterans know to laugh at most of the outrage. You can't take it seriously. I think a lot of the problems come from old media trying to be hip and cool so they get on social media but they don't know how crazy people can be on the internet so they take people too seriously. And then crazy people get treated as anything but crazy people.
All this hyperventilating about various moron outrages. Just do what the internet does with these people. Give them a an "oh really nick cage"... or a "sarcastic wonka"... and move on.
Them being smelly, hairy, or drugged out of their minds was not central to my argument. Thus my argument did not rest upon whether that was true or not.
My argument was therefore not ad hominem. You could argue pathos but the pathos was optional. My argument retains its integrity with or without those comments.
They are null to the actual position. You decision to be influenced by those statements was your own choice.
As to morals, not really. The protesters had no right to stop the construction. We do not have mob rule in the US or Canada despite what people like you apparently believe. If you want to effect the political system then you can show up at council meetings and vote for people that hold your values as well as vote on local inititives that support your views.
However, in all these cases the degenrates in question are in the minority. They however don't care if they are in the minority. they create human shields and such to impose their will in contravention of democratically derrived rules that they are opposing.
What is more, the government was under no obligation to tell the truth to what were in effect criminals
Consider that police officers lie to criminals all the time. The police officer might say "if you say X, we'll go easy on you."... even though the police officer either has no intention of doing that or has no authority to make that kind of promise in the first place. This is an upheld practice which the courts have approved repeatedly. Police do not have to tell the truth to suspects or criminals.
If I am going under cover to find evidence against a criminal gang, and the gang asks me "are you a police officer" I don't have to tell them the truth. I can say "of course I am not." and that is entirely legally valid.
These people in the Canadian case were trespassing at the very least.
As to dictating other people's beliefs or values. Oh dear... are you one of those stupid hippies? I expect you are because you just said something really really stupid. I did not say what idiots must believe or not believe. I simply pointed out that people that live amongst morons like this have learned to deal with them. That means coming prepared. Lying to the idiots because they're gullible and not very clever. And generally exploiting all their weaknesses because often as not they will swarm you location out numbering you in that location. Understand, they are not the majority... they're merely concentrating in one place.
And so you need to distract them so you can do your job without letting them actually stop you.
If you have anything more to say, I'm quite happy to continue ripping your arguments to fucking shreds.
You have no superiority over me. You don't have the intellectual high ground. You don't have the knowledge high ground. You don't have the moral high ground.
I do. And am very happy to piss on your argument from a very lofty height.;)
After that hendrix board or whatever it was called, I was pretty dubious. Also its pretty clear that its using some kind of super conducting magnet... that's what the wispy dry ice smoke probably is... it could be liquid nitrogen or whatever. But whatever it is, they would have had to put something under the sidewalk. Its not magnetically levitating on concrete.
Frankly, I'd like for them to stop trying to make prospective inventions from stupid movies real. Especially when they haven't figured out a reasonable way to do it.
The other hover board that they even got tony hawk to shill for some how was a complete fraud. The damned thing gobbled absurd amounts of power just to levitate and could only do it on some kind of copper sheet.
More infuriatingly the inventor was talking about levitating buildings. That is entirely dishonest because the power requirements to actually do that using their technology would have required megawatts of power... PER building.
The technology lexus is using appears to be less obnoxious in that it probably uses a lot less power. BUT it does appear to require super conducting magnets that are being kept cool with what appears to be liquid nitrogen or something... and of course... something has to be under that fucking sidewalk.
I'm just annoyed by the misrepresentation.
The Hyperloop is possible. A global micro sat internet is believable. But this hoverboard shit... Even if you actually had a hover board... this is possibly the most useless application of the technology. Seriously. Think if you had some kind of levitation tech. Where would you apply it first?
1. Construction? 2. Trains that zip over the surface of the ocean and then seamlessly get on tracks on the coasts? 3. Mobility for the disabled?
No no... lets sell it to punk kids so they can do something they can already do with regular skateboards but in a more expensive and pretensions way. Because that's what a kid with a skateboard needs... I way to show he's better than everyone else that has wheels because his daddy dumped 1000 dollars on an f'ing skateboard for no reason.
The whole thing is dumb.
Its like inventing a human level intelligence AI and then marketing it as a blow job machine. Yes yes... people like to have orgasms... I'd sooner put a wire into your brain that let you press a button to give yourself an orgasm whenever you wanted. Then you could just sit there pressing the button while the AI was doing something more productive.
You can't even see them unless you squint and they blend in with the snow mostly. So I don't know what you're talking about.
They only become obvious when you're getting close to them. And there's no reason to do that in Hawaii. The islands are f'ing paradise. Why would anyone want to climb the frozen lava rock that is so high the oxygen gets low? What exactly is the point?
I can understand the astronomers going up there. I do not understand why anyone else is going up there. Possibly some crazy people that want to ski? I don't know. That's about it. Its ugly up there... because its just bare lava rock and snow. That's it.
Seriously... why do you think the telescopes are bad. I mean... actually? Did an astronomer fuck your sister? Because it can't possibly be what you said.
Look at that picture I posted. That is what the telescopes look like from off the mountain. You can't even see them really. And they don't look bad even when you do. Your comment makes zero sense.
Unless you give me a more concrete reason... I am assuming there was a dramatic love affair between one of your relatives and an astronomer and you have some misplaced aggression on the issue. That's all I've got unless you want to tell me why you ACTUALLY don't like the telescopes.
I live in california where we always have some group of hairy drugged out morons protesting something. And the construction companies out here just expect it.
They plan for it... they say"well, we need this much cement, this many men, so many machine... and oh yeah, bolt cutters and an overtime budget to bring people in at midnight to do the job when all the hippies are sleeping.
The college campuses for example can't knock down trees on the premises during the school year. So they wait until the summer break then knock the trees back. The hippies come back and possibly see a stump. No discussion. No protest of consequence.
In Canada they had a bridge that needed to be widened. And some trees to the right of the bridge needed to be taken down. Of course the fucking trees were swarming with dreadlocked buffoons. So the city said "you win, we won't take the trees down, everyone go home"... hippies cleared out... and at midnight that very night the city just cut all the trees down that were in the way of the bridge.
And this is what the social discussion is at this point.
The stupid mountain in question is covered with fucking telescopes. Go up there and look at it. There are loads. Saying "oh not one more or it will anger our impotent god!'... please.
Its a wearable helicopter. Its also so big and bulky that it isn't especially portable.
The concept of a jet pack was supposed to be a backpack a guy puts on flies around... and then walks inside with the pack... not even bothering to take it off because it isn't an encumbrance.
That thing is f'ing huge.
Even at 25 percent of its current size it would be annoying.
Then your walls are too thin is the issue there... or consider getting some EMF shielding wall paper. There are a lot of brands and designs. Most are metal based... either some sort of aluminum or copper or nickle iron or something. Others are some sort of weird composite.
We use the EMF dampening/shielding wallpaper on some rooms that either have very sensitive equipment or that we don't want radio signals to leave.
As to dealing with that... professionally I deal with a building that is entirely controlled by a single organization so we can control what we're doing to avoid problems. We do have thousands of wifi users every day but our networks don't fight with each other for bandwidth.
As to highrises with lots of different companies or individuals setting up their own wifi. I'd first say that wifi in most of these situations is over used. These buildings tend to come with ethernet already wired into the building so why are you bothering with the wifi at all? The only reason I use wifi professionally is so users can facebook. That is literally all it exists for... just users doing personal things on their phones or whatever.
Everything serious happens over the Ethernet.
Clarify your problem a bit more clearly for me because I'm not fully understanding it.
If you're running insulated and shielded cable then I don't see why you'd have a problem.
I've done it myself many times and I've never had a problem with it.
Is there likely some anal rule about it? Doubtless. But since your home was built in the 1970s we can assume you don't have communications conduits. So exactly how are you going to run able if not through what conduits you have? And again... cat 6 cable should be just fine in there. All your electrical wiring should be insulated already, so the only issue is going to be some sort of magnetic interference and the shielding deals with that... at least in my experience. I can't speak to anyone else's experiences.
We're also talking about someone's home here. Not anything especially serious. You should be able to run the cable without a lot of trouble.
Why? Just run Ethernet cable through the electrical conduits. Then figure out the places where you ACTUALLY give a shit about wifi. Then make those areas accessible using a couple cheapo APs.
thanks for the correction but the point is that the spectrum open to wifi is wider than they were suggesting.
As to power usage etc... I'm mostly dealing with an office environment where people can fucking plug their shit in if they care. That said, the networks are accepting any network type you could reasonable run into. It accepts B, G, and N.
I don't care. Its for employees to play farmville or something.
I've personally never had a problem. I think most wifi issues are caused by either weak signals or big thick walls.
Or microwaves... from satan.
I've noticed that not all microwaves cause issues. Just certain ones.
I suppose if you really wanted to get sophisticated about it, then you could install one of those signal analyzing apps on your phone and then graph signal strength in real time.
But for the home or small office you're generally talking about a single access point. Its super simple. If you're having trouble, tin foil also works. I did that at my last house because the router was at one extreme end of the house and I was too cheap to install multiple access points. Or I should say I just tried the tin foil idea first. You make little tin foil dishes behind the antennas.
Look up DYI wifi antennas. That should sort you.
In the environments where I set up a lot of interlocking wifi networks, I just put them on different channels. Space it out as much as possible. And even though there are hundreds on each network... no issues.
True, there is nothing serious happening on those wifi networks. For security reasons, only people's personal devices connect to the wifi. The organization's systems are all wired.

If I am going under cover to find evidence against a criminal gang, and the gang asks me "are you a police officer" I don't have to tell them the truth. I can say "of course I am not." and that is entirely legally valid.
These people in the Canadian case were trespassing at the very least.
As to dictating other people's beliefs or values. Oh dear... are you one of those stupid hippies? I expect you are because you just said something really really stupid. I did not say what idiots must believe or not believe. I simply pointed out that people that live amongst morons like this have learned to deal with them. That means coming prepared. Lying to the idiots because they're gullible and not very clever. And generally exploiting all their weaknesses because often as not they will swarm you location out numbering you in that location. Understand, they are not the majority... they're merely concentrating in one place.
And so you need to distract them so you can do your job without letting them actually stop you.
If you have anything more to say, I'm quite happy to continue ripping your arguments to fucking shreds.
You have no superiority over me. You don't have the intellectual high ground. You don't have the knowledge high ground. You don't have the moral high ground.
I do. And am very happy to piss on your argument from a very lofty height. ;)
After that hendrix board or whatever it was called, I was pretty dubious. Also its pretty clear that its using some kind of super conducting magnet... that's what the wispy dry ice smoke probably is... it could be liquid nitrogen or whatever. But whatever it is, they would have had to put something under the sidewalk. Its not magnetically levitating on concrete.
Frankly, I'd like for them to stop trying to make prospective inventions from stupid movies real. Especially when they haven't figured out a reasonable way to do it.
The other hover board that they even got tony hawk to shill for some how was a complete fraud. The damned thing gobbled absurd amounts of power just to levitate and could only do it on some kind of copper sheet.
More infuriatingly the inventor was talking about levitating buildings. That is entirely dishonest because the power requirements to actually do that using their technology would have required megawatts of power... PER building.
The technology lexus is using appears to be less obnoxious in that it probably uses a lot less power. BUT it does appear to require super conducting magnets that are being kept cool with what appears to be liquid nitrogen or something... and of course... something has to be under that fucking sidewalk.
I'm just annoyed by the misrepresentation.
The Hyperloop is possible. A global micro sat internet is believable. But this hoverboard shit... Even if you actually had a hover board... this is possibly the most useless application of the technology. Seriously. Think if you had some kind of levitation tech. Where would you apply it first?
1. Construction?
2. Trains that zip over the surface of the ocean and then seamlessly get on tracks on the coasts?
3. Mobility for the disabled?
No no... lets sell it to punk kids so they can do something they can already do with regular skateboards but in a more expensive and pretensions way. Because that's what a kid with a skateboard needs... I way to show he's better than everyone else that has wheels because his daddy dumped 1000 dollars on an f'ing skateboard for no reason.
The whole thing is dumb.
Its like inventing a human level intelligence AI and then marketing it as a blow job machine. Yes yes... people like to have orgasms... I'd sooner put a wire into your brain that let you press a button to give yourself an orgasm whenever you wanted. Then you could just sit there pressing the button while the AI was doing something more productive.
Shut up.
This is what the telescopes look like:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/w...
You can't even see them unless you squint and they blend in with the snow mostly. So I don't know what you're talking about.
They only become obvious when you're getting close to them. And there's no reason to do that in Hawaii. The islands are f'ing paradise. Why would anyone want to climb the frozen lava rock that is so high the oxygen gets low? What exactly is the point?
I can understand the astronomers going up there. I do not understand why anyone else is going up there. Possibly some crazy people that want to ski? I don't know. That's about it. Its ugly up there... because its just bare lava rock and snow. That's it.
Seriously... why do you think the telescopes are bad. I mean... actually? Did an astronomer fuck your sister? Because it can't possibly be what you said.
Look at that picture I posted. That is what the telescopes look like from off the mountain. You can't even see them really. And they don't look bad even when you do. Your comment makes zero sense.
Unless you give me a more concrete reason... I am assuming there was a dramatic love affair between one of your relatives and an astronomer and you have some misplaced aggression on the issue. That's all I've got unless you want to tell me why you ACTUALLY don't like the telescopes.
I live in california where we always have some group of hairy drugged out morons protesting something. And the construction companies out here just expect it.
They plan for it... they say"well, we need this much cement, this many men, so many machine... and oh yeah, bolt cutters and an overtime budget to bring people in at midnight to do the job when all the hippies are sleeping.
The college campuses for example can't knock down trees on the premises during the school year. So they wait until the summer break then knock the trees back. The hippies come back and possibly see a stump. No discussion. No protest of consequence.
In Canada they had a bridge that needed to be widened. And some trees to the right of the bridge needed to be taken down. Of course the fucking trees were swarming with dreadlocked buffoons. So the city said "you win, we won't take the trees down, everyone go home"... hippies cleared out... and at midnight that very night the city just cut all the trees down that were in the way of the bridge.
And this is what the social discussion is at this point.
The stupid mountain in question is covered with fucking telescopes. Go up there and look at it. There are loads. Saying "oh not one more or it will anger our impotent god!'... please.
... surely these people know we've used pneumatic tubes before, no?
Its a wearable helicopter. Its also so big and bulky that it isn't especially portable.
The concept of a jet pack was supposed to be a backpack a guy puts on flies around... and then walks inside with the pack... not even bothering to take it off because it isn't an encumbrance.
That thing is f'ing huge.
Even at 25 percent of its current size it would be annoying.
Then your walls are too thin is the issue there... or consider getting some EMF shielding wall paper. There are a lot of brands and designs. Most are metal based... either some sort of aluminum or copper or nickle iron or something. Others are some sort of weird composite.
We use the EMF dampening/shielding wallpaper on some rooms that either have very sensitive equipment or that we don't want radio signals to leave.
As to dealing with that... professionally I deal with a building that is entirely controlled by a single organization so we can control what we're doing to avoid problems. We do have thousands of wifi users every day but our networks don't fight with each other for bandwidth.
As to highrises with lots of different companies or individuals setting up their own wifi. I'd first say that wifi in most of these situations is over used. These buildings tend to come with ethernet already wired into the building so why are you bothering with the wifi at all? The only reason I use wifi professionally is so users can facebook. That is literally all it exists for... just users doing personal things on their phones or whatever.
Everything serious happens over the Ethernet.
Clarify your problem a bit more clearly for me because I'm not fully understanding it.
If you're running insulated and shielded cable then I don't see why you'd have a problem.
I've done it myself many times and I've never had a problem with it.
Is there likely some anal rule about it? Doubtless. But since your home was built in the 1970s we can assume you don't have communications conduits. So exactly how are you going to run able if not through what conduits you have? And again... cat 6 cable should be just fine in there. All your electrical wiring should be insulated already, so the only issue is going to be some sort of magnetic interference and the shielding deals with that... at least in my experience. I can't speak to anyone else's experiences.
We're also talking about someone's home here. Not anything especially serious. You should be able to run the cable without a lot of trouble.
Why? Just run Ethernet cable through the electrical conduits. Then figure out the places where you ACTUALLY give a shit about wifi. Then make those areas accessible using a couple cheapo APs.
thanks for the correction but the point is that the spectrum open to wifi is wider than they were suggesting.
As to power usage etc... I'm mostly dealing with an office environment where people can fucking plug their shit in if they care. That said, the networks are accepting any network type you could reasonable run into. It accepts B, G, and N.
I don't care. Its for employees to play farmville or something.
I've personally never had a problem. I think most wifi issues are caused by either weak signals or big thick walls.
Or microwaves... from satan.
I've noticed that not all microwaves cause issues. Just certain ones.
I suppose if you really wanted to get sophisticated about it, then you could install one of those signal analyzing apps on your phone and then graph signal strength in real time.
But for the home or small office you're generally talking about a single access point. Its super simple. If you're having trouble, tin foil also works. I did that at my last house because the router was at one extreme end of the house and I was too cheap to install multiple access points. Or I should say I just tried the tin foil idea first. You make little tin foil dishes behind the antennas.
Look up DYI wifi antennas. That should sort you.
In the environments where I set up a lot of interlocking wifi networks, I just put them on different channels. Space it out as much as possible. And even though there are hundreds on each network... no issues.
True, there is nothing serious happening on those wifi networks. For security reasons, only people's personal devices connect to the wifi. The organization's systems are all wired.
