I have a Logitech g502, so I have 2 extra buttons next to m1 and 3 on the side. Quick melee is always on a side button as well lol. Holding middle mouse to aim grenades always feels awkward to me because of the roll, and that’s always been my first switch to fail on pretty much every mouse I’ve ever owned. I honestly think it’s the single worst physical key to bind an action to in a video game from a tactile perspective.

In super fast paced fps shooters I usually use G, but that’s just because of muscle memory going back to like Half-Life 1/CS1.6. I tried swapping to a side button for my grenades in the finals and it was not viable for me at all lol.

Shit, 17 days apart lol. Did you also get a copy of Half-Life 2 for Christmas?

I preordered the physical disc release for pc with a gog code. I am just now finishing the game, so don’t feel bad lol. I just had a shitty computer for quite a while and wanted to play it maxed out.

I just rebound the grenade button from middle mouse to a side mouse button. Middle mouse is a dumb default bind for anything.

There isn’t. You’re wrong. You’re either a real person who denies reality which is fucking terrifying, or you’re purposefully and maliciously trying to seed disinformation. Either way get the fuck off the internet.

The one in April was cancelled before Trump spoke because an armed person charged the security checkpoint in the hotel. It was rescheduled. The rescheduled White House Correspondents’ Dinner took place on Friday, July 24, 2026, at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington, D.C… Trump attended and delivered a lengthy, hourlong speech.

After checking my calendar, I can confirm that July 24th was in fact yesterday, meaning Trump gave this speech less than 24 hours ago. No one’s astroturfing or being manipulated by a language model about this.

Yup, same for me. It’s a full page blocker, not even just the little modal window that can be closed out.

Contraceptives and easy access to them are definitely a big part of it. The largest factor in birth rates is access to education for women. Higher levels of schooling lead to delayed marriage, later childbearing, and fewer total children.

yeah she can be kind of brutal, it’s weird they put her on a place where you run into her so early. She electrifies the water which fries you. You can shut the power off at a panel in the room if you have high enough technical ability, but can also kite her to that hallway with no water and shoot her from behind one of the Militech trucks in the street.

I recently upgraded my CPU and am playing through the game to finish it now that I can max the settings out. I’m playing it on Very Hard and it’s too easy. It didn’t feel like this when I played on launch, so idk if they changed something or if I was just bad then.

It’s tradition, you just wouldn’t understand. Even if students are cheating we just have to stick to our traditions, the students will fall in line eventually.

Just fyi the Fed is most commonly used to refer to the Federal Reserve. I was very confused as to why the economist people needed submarines for a second.

I just meant that they’re just us-east-1 racks, that the facility wasn’t built for AI specifically in the way that most people are probably going to assume given the past couple years. I don’t know what’s in there rack by rack, building by building either. There is a good chance that if you spin up Opus 4.7 in Bedrock it could be in these buildings.

If anyone’s curious, this is the AWS Tanner Campus. It’s right across the street from the official, marked on the map location for AWS’s us-east-1, and they are all IAD- buildings, so they’re part of what makes up the us-east-1 AWS region. The project was announced as early as 2020.

It consists of four single-story data center buildings spanning nearly 800,000 square feet, which are supported by a massive 192-megawatt electrical substation and backup diesel generators.

As others here have said, this is not an “AI” data center, it’s a data center that runs massive swathes of the internet as we know it. Either way it’s fucked that they’re approved to build this shit right behind peoples houses. They are right across the street from a regional airport, so maybe that areas zoned commercial? It’s definitely a weird area in general. Driving down prince william parkway you’re seeing tons of straight industrial support shit, like metal shops and construction supply stuff and warehouses with performance car shops with dynos and everything, then you just hit houses.

It was probably zoned back when nobody ever thought anyone but the rednecks already out there would live that far outside the beltway, but now commuting from Manassas/Gainesville into DC or somewhere else inside the beltway is normal, and they’re building houses where they never thought they’d be building.

Again though, fuck Amazon and Prince William County for assaulting these people like this.

This isn’t an “AI” data center specifically.

I mean that just makes me wonder why there’s multiple monopoly lawsuits/investigations against Valve but nothing against Sony, MS, or Nintendo.

His sentencing should be in line with the same amount of time that the people who murdered Renee Good and Alex Peretti got.

Ben Nichols, the lead singer of Lucero, has an album based on Blood Meridian call The Last Pale Light in the West that is absolutely phenomenal as well.

Frank Herbert wrote the second book because, just like you, the entire point of the first book flew over a lot of people heads.

A lot of people have a tendency to anthropomorphize it.

Yeah. The amount of people that learned about persistent file-based memory and think it’s some indication that the llm they’re promoting is alive, has sentience, or has persistent self-identity and self-awareness instead of recognizing it’s just a way to inject previously learned context when it’s needed without burning tokens sending it with every prompt you send is out of control.

I stumbled across some weird hybrid psychonaut x Claude collab subreddit the other day and holy shit ai psychosis is real.
