As recently as the Obama administration, Supreme Court nominees still got broad bipartisan support. Democrats put an end to that under President Trump, and it’s not coming back.

Wat.

Seems a bit revisionist when Garland famously couldn’t get a hearing due to the McConnell stonewall. Famous Democrat McConnell.

It was a quiet annexation.

Cool. Still tastes like something with a WHO classification.

You mean: “Does the GOP have a chance to lose in 2024?” Possibly, as I doubt we are going to see anything like ranked choice voting or electoral college reform in 2024. It is likely a lock for the GOP to win 2024 without serious progress from their opposition in the meantime.

Reddit (overall and subreddit) culture and discourse always had an ebb and flow to it. Any off feelings about however you’re accessing the Fediverse are both fair and not unlike the Reddit experience to begin with.

I dunno, you’ve got this gaming rig where you clearly are opting for wired input devices; the cheap wifi adapter seems out of place.

My assumption is running a cable to the router is not an option, but if it is…

In another timeline Biden changes the size of SCOTUS for the eighth time in its history. I think and without looking it up: the last time was to match the number of district courts, then 9, now 13.

There is still time technically, but not realistically. Because, well, Biden.

Depends on how much access or permission you have to the building.

I have pulled baseboards from the wall and run cables in the gaps down and around a hall and into bedrooms. There’s often a little bit of space depending on construction that you can wedge an ethernet cable into.

I’ve also drilled holes in floors and drywall to drop a cable down a floor.

I’ve also straight up run a cable down a hall and around a stairwell with rugs and duct tape over it to reduce tripping hazards. Once had one of those fancy rubber strips for the doorway.

Or if you got cash on hand, definitely possible to hire someone who has tools and expertise. They would probably be able to come up with a more visually pleasing setup than my function over form preferences.
