my PPoE; more like 5%, perhaps even <1%.

Yep!
With pink underwear and yellow bologna.
You've got to wonder what kind of guy seems to be more upset that they have to
wear pink underwear and eat colored bologna than they are at having their
freedom taken away in the first place. Perhaps being non-Arpaio jails are no
longer much of a detterent!
I've read a few news stories that Maricopa county does seem to have become
markedly less criminal under Joe's supervision; kudos to him.

Now that he's got Maricopa county under control, maybe he should take
on Washington DC?

Older Olys use a common 1/8 inch jack with three contacts (aka stereo
headphone jack). One is common, one is half-press, and one is shutter.
I don't remember which is which but it's pretty easy to figure it out.
It isn't necessary to activate the half-press before the shutter but
doing so can reduce vibration blur.
Newer Olys have USB remote control. It might not mind a long cable if
you force the lower USB speed.
This one has USB. BobW pointed me to...

That defeats your original criteria. "up on the hillside" is where you
want the camera and the owls, not the camera, the remote that is only ten
feet remote, you, and no owls.
The damned string-of-hubs-and-jumpers fix is starting to look better.
Why not use a garage door opener? I used a nice one, with 3 buttons

But if I know the current state and a rough estimate of

I can reduce the search space to something reasonable to attack

No, they have different value systems but within the framework of each

it can't hear a damn thing that's said either.

Yes, stopping people who have declared and demonstrated their intent

takes to stop them is largely dependant on how determined and
persistent they are.

You're lucky enough to escape their daily blabble about condoms (well,
yesterday the Pope said that prostitutes may be exempted from the veto, a

keeping comatose corpses "alive" (science is good only for keeping a person
