    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_federal_judges_appointed_by_Joe_Biden

    The total number of Biden Article III judgeship nominees confirmed by the United States Senate was 235, including one associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, 45 judges for the United States courts of appeals, 187 judges for the United States district courts and two judges for the United States Court of International Trade. Biden did not make any recess appointments to the federal courts.

    Biden had the most Article III judicial nominees confirmed during a president’s first year in office since Ronald Reagan in 1981.[2] Biden appointed the most federal judges during the first two years of any presidency since John F. Kennedy.[3] Biden reached the milestone of 200 federal judicial confirmations on May 22, 2024. This rate of judicial confirmations exceeded the pace of Donald Trump in his first term.[4]










  • What’s going on right now is unprecedented, but Im still of the belief that our safety nets are gonna catch this one.

    The Republicans will look at what they have done and institute broad limitations on executive power on their way out the door (assuming we don’t just end up with martial law). This will prevent Democrats from ever attempting anything even remotely similar. But there is always the ever-so-slight chance that it nerfs Republicans down the road too.

    Maybe.


  • Yes, given that this is Walmart (GV = “Great Value”) I would assume the supply side prices are fixed. These are also not the “cage free” eggs that many states now require (several of which only began doing so in January 2025).

    Same store, the retail price for a dozen large non-organic cage-free brown eggs is a few pennies higher than a dozen large white Eggland’s Best (the latter usually being at least 2x the cost of the former). Those cage-free mandates are driving the supply of battery-cage eggs up (and thus the cost down, relatively speaking).

    Given that Walmart runs its curbside/delivery department at a loss, they’ve shied away from running merchandise as loss leaders.






  • My friend, most base stations got fiber backhaul before 5G even existed. We are well beyond that problem.

    In fact, it is not uncommon in 2025 to have fiber fronthaul from the remote radio (at the mast) back to the “cloud” where the actual base station is virtualized and/or software-defined (at the data center).

    The usable signal issue is a whole other complex can of electromagnetic worms and in contemporary times is a side effect of how 5G NR is sort of “bolted on” to 4G LTE. It is not dissimilar to the growing pains that mixed 3G/4G networks had.
