Thursday Overnight Open Thread - November 12, 2026
Howdy Hordelings, and welcome to the Thursday ONT! Open thread, as always. On time, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?
Thoughts and prayers for Lebron James - he may have suffered a life threatening and career ending injury.
LeBron suffers scary injury at end of game 🙏🙏🙏🙏 https://t.co/3vujQ57QVA
— MD (@mike_daddino) November 11, 2026
One of the sports world's brightest stars suffered a significant health scare on Tuesday night, as LeBron James was forced to press his Life Alert button after falling during a game. Midway through the fourth quarter of the Philadelphia 76ers' 123-10 loss to the Boston Celtics, James fell to the floor, bringing the game to a halt and filling the crowd at the Xfinity Mobile Arena with hushed silence before pressing his Life Alert button to notify first responders that he was in need of assistance. "Help! I've fallen, and I can't get up!" James was heard shouting as he writhed in pain on the hardwood. *** James was taken off the court on a stretcher and was said to be resting more comfortably in the locker room with a warm blanket and a glass of Metamucil.*** Compare and contrast with the greatest goal scorer in NHL history taking a puck to the face while on the bench during Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final in 2018
Smooth segue here - sports books can be asshoe 24 year old wins $800K, Caesars refuses to pay
This 24 year old guy figured out how to beat a casino and won $800,000 The casino refused to pay him and gave him back just $50,000 and when he complained to gambling regulators, they sided with the casino. His name is Thomas McPeek, he’s from Chicago who still lives with his parents. Early 2024 - spends months reading sports betting booksFull story and video segment at the link -----
- studies football parlays
- discovers Caesars is offering odds he believes are mathematically mispriced He realizes he might have found a way to beat the house. *** McPeek returns to Horseshoe to collect his money. But Caesars has other plans. The casino voids his winning tickets, accusing him of coordinating bets across state lines and splitting his wagers into smaller amounts to circumvent its rules. Instead of paying his winnings, Caesars returns his original $50,000.
Wes Moore is BIG ASSHOE. Dude has the unmitigated gall to put out a book called "Repair". Ya know what WON'T be in there?? Pictures or stories about the repaired Key Bridge.

Answering the difficult questions Why Is Sugar Sold In Paper Bags?
We’re all used to grabbing bags of sugar and flour at the grocery store without much thought, but is there a reason why sugar is sold in paper bags? Plenty of dry goods come in boxes, plastic bags, or more sturdy containers, so why isn’t sugar better protected against moisture and tearing? While it may not seem like great packaging when you bring home a bag on a rainy day, or when a torn corner leaves a mess of sugar in your pantry, there are actually some practical reasons why sugar is packaged in paper bags, including cost and ease. Here’s what to know once you bring your sugar home.Think you know? Check your answer at the link. But wait - there's more!
Why Is Brown Sugar Packaged in Plastic? You may notice other types of sugars, like brown sugar and confectioners’ sugar, are stored in plastic bags.Did you get the correct answer(s)? -----
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is quite a joke. They finally corrected a horrible error of omission this year with the upcoming induction of Iron Maiden. Several other acts will be inducted as part of this year's class on Saturday. Maiden won't be attending (good for them!), neither will 2 other acts. Three Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees To Skip Saturday’s Ceremony
The Rock Hall announced 17 finalists for this year’s class in February and named the eight inductees in February, which include Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Wu-Tang Clan and posthumously, Luther Vandross. The Black Crowes, Jeff Buckley, Mariah Carey, Melissa Etheridge, Lauryn Hill, INXS, New Edition and Shakira missed the cut for the 2026 class. *** Iron Maiden announced in April that they would not attend, while Rolling Stone confirmed that Oasis brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will also miss the ceremony. Noel Gallagher is playing a solo show in London, and Liam Gallagher cited travel distance and other commitments. Additionally, the British band Sade announced on Tuesday that they will not attend in person, though singer Sade Adu shared a statement expressing gratitude for the recognition.Holding out some hope for INXS to make it next year -----
Bookmark this for next year's road-trip season This 1,300-mile Highway Has Been Dubbed ‘America’s Most Scenic Road Trip’—and It Links 7 National Parks
Near the spine of the United States’ Continental Divide, there’s a highway that goes by many names—it’s been dubbed “America’s Most Scenic Road Trip” and the “National Park Highway.” Both are understandable monikers—after all, the route passes by no fewer than seven national parks, and an assortment of national monuments and forests. But avid road-trippers might recognize this drive better by its official name: U.S. Route 89. Officially stretching from Flagstaff, Arizona, to the border with Canada (not counting an older, decommissioned leg that runs from the Mexican border in Nogales to Flagstaff), Route 89 sprawls across roughly 1,300 miles. Add that historic section and a couple of alternative routes, and you’re looking at an almost 2,000-mile road trip. Along the way, you’ll pass a veritable laundry list of America’s most popular national parks, including Grand Canyon, Zion, and Yellowstone, all within a two-hour detour of the highway. Though all those national parks are the main attraction, a drive down Route 89 has much more in store. “People gravitate to the seven national parks along the route, but the national monuments and state parks should not be overlooked,” says Vicky Derksen, the owner of USRoute89.com, a digital resource on all things Route 89. She also notes that “U.S. Route 89 is a stargazer’s paradise, with about three dozen Dark Sky Places that are certified by DarkSky International. Having access to gorgeous night skies is a treasure.”

Well, the ones who went all in on Azure sure do. Some of the others think they're safe. Then there's the few who said ,"Oh shit, that could have been us!" and are quickly drawing up plans to repatriate their workloads.

Its cute that Sade made the cut, whereas INXS still hasn't.
If you offered to pay random "people on the street" $10 for every song they could name for an artist, there would be...some...payout for Phil Collins. But despite selling more records than Billy Idol, I bet there would be more payout for Billy Idol. Billy didn't have MORE songs that went to number 1...but his songs made an *impact* on people.
Iron Maiden and Oasis would have several "people on the street" getting multiple $10 bills. They connected with their audience.
Joy Division/New Order is window dressing. I could offer to fund this project for the 1st 100 people asked and I'd probably hand out very few $10 bills for them. INXS is clearly more deserving.
And Sade would get SWAMPED by INXS. But Sade is in the Hall of Fame, and INXS isn't yet.You can figure out why. I dated a busty brunette 20 years ago who liked to (privately, only) strip to "Smooth Operator", and I occasionally heard some of the other songs on that album. But do any of you *really* know, without using google, any other song Sade recorded?

Yes. But, conformant with the article, I’ve found that it is fine to store white sugar directly in the canister; but brown sugar I need to store wrapped in both its original plastic and in a zip-loc bag around it, or it hardens like a rock.
BTW, people interested in old cookbooks or World War I may find my post yesterday (see link in nic) interesting: a “Patriotic Cook Book” for saving food for the war effort, from D & L Slade’s.

Really liked the song, Bayou Woman, by Tony Joe White.
Had never heard that song before. I like the blues at times (I mean, I have to with my blues dude guitarist). Sometimes I tell him in the car I don't like something and am not in the mood and he flips to something else.
He knows I detest The Who. He'll say, "You just don't like Roger Daltrey." I say whatevah.
He knows I also don't like certain words like hue, extrude, onus and others and will sometimes find a way to insert these stupid words into conversations to irritate me or see what I say. There are times he makes up sentences with all the words I hate to bait me.
I lead a difficult life.

Well, I have a sweet tooth, so it definitely doesn’t stay more than a few months. But it does last a lot longer in the tin double wrapped (or semi-double wrapped, since the original package is not really sealed).
Before I started double-wrapping, I would even try putting it in the blender to unrockify it, and all that does is make a small amount of powdered brown sugar and a lot of noise. Most of the rockified brown sugar remains intact.

Oxo containers probably make for a better seal than tin canisters. And if it’s one of the oxos with a button to remove air after sealing, I’d guess that will be pretty much the same or better than zip-loc.

I was once so enraged after a FSU/Dook game (FSU won) I emailed the UF fan man sports guy at the Orlando Sentinel.
I mocked JJ Reddick like a chimp on meth. He & Coach K whined about the fans.
Called him a fainting goat as he, I know you will not believe this horror, was TOUCHED by a FSU fan who rushed the court when they won.
Big deal, they were happy & no one was going to fool with that pencil neck. Said he acted like Prissy in Gone With the Wind when Scarlett slapped her.
I don't remember the entire email but he wrote back wanting to publish it in his column. I asked if I could have a fake name & he said no and I said sorry, I cannot because of sons and our rare last name.
Sons want to murder me half the time anyway, and the last thing they needed was this in college.
It was bad enough when I was mad at O'Reilly and wrote him a harsh email that hurt his ego. He said my name correctly as I was grading RN papers and pronounced our beach town correctly, too. I had immediate calls as to wth did you say??? We taped the 11pm show and my father laughed his head off.
I'm often in trouble.

You can put regular sugar in a blender (or, better yet, an electric coffee grinder) and get a pretty good facsimile of powdered sugar. Would not recommend trying g it with more than a half cup at a time though, and make sure the appliance is bone dry when doing this.

Have mentioned before, but read that the decision to keep/tow her vs scuttle her after extracting all useful stuff/info went all the way up to the CNO, Adm. King. Why? June 4, 1944. Fear was that if another U-boat off West Africa saw her in tow, they'd notify Kiel and there'd be a change in the rotor settings/etc on the Enigma machines. The day before D-Day. Not good.
Kindltot that's amazing some Enigma machines were for sale. Out of a private collection? There were lots produced but never considered there'd be some in private hands.

The Brits call this "caster sugar" and it is used in pastries and sweets that require a fast dissolve. I don't know if it would substitute for powdered sugar since there is no corn starch to gel things up. Without the gelling, things like frosting are just a glaze.

!!! Leared something tonight at AOS Acadimmy! Thanks!
If I EVER get done in a room upstairs (unwrapped Christmas gifts, mostly for our grands, clothes, etc SCREAM HERE), I am attacking the walk-in pantry. Undoing the stupid plastic and glass cannisters for a lot of it, trying to be fancy. Flour will stay in paper. Sugar will stay in glass. Beans will stay in bags (we don't have bugs here). There will be cans! Then when we run low in the storage room we restock. It's as simple as that. I need some to drink some coffee with whiskey for this day of the pantry.
It stayed nice about 6mo then went messy and stayed this way for two years.
If there's a door and a mess I close it! Done! For the gift room upstairs and little people are visiting I lock that door.
If I ever get my normal back and Mama settled and off this roller coaster for a week I'll wrap the gifts like Martha Stewart tells me to.

Jensen Huang is out at Nvidia following public disclosure of relationships involving three women.
An unnamed Nvidia employee is the latest. She was a subordinate who reported directly to Huang, making her the second Nvidia employee linked to him, per Reuters. Her identity has not been disclosed.
Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's Vice President of Healthcare, is alleged to have had an extramarital relationship with Huang.
Alice Huang, a Singapore tech executive with no relation to him, was suspected by U.S. intelligence officials of operating as a Chinese intelligence asset.
An independent investigation is underway.

I am flashing back on reading The Code Breakers by David Kahn which I read 20 years ago. IIRC it was an electromechanical system that used two punched tapes that ran together, one with the code message and the other with the repeating encoding key loop that converted the plaintext into code. At which point I got lost because I was math-deficient

************
I had three blind dates in college because the dorm girls were worried that I was not dating. By choice. I was perfectly fine with staying home with a book or watching tv vs wrestling with boys.
One was a poor scrawny dood who was too scared to talk to me. I was thankful. We went to a bar and played pool. Late for dorm check in, four in the front of a speeding pickup with friend's ick bf, I remember praying, "Lord, please don't let me die with this goober."
Another one I don't want to think about.
Then this guy who was pretty cute and I dated for a whopping six times one summer til he proposed. Have mentioned him before, and I hope he doesn't read here. Nicknamed, "Pecker" for his auburn hair. I thought nothing of this (supposedly for woodpecker).
My refined Southern mother was horrified. Said, "I can't call him that! What is his name?" I asked.
I want y'all to know she never explained why she was horrified and I never knew for years what the deal was (in every way, you filthy minded Morons).

I know that they released Louis Louis before the Kingsmen, but the latter version overshadowed their effort. Paul was drafted and the group went through a few personnel changes after he returned, finally scoring a hit with Kicks in 1966..

Coincidentally the Kingsman also recorded Louie Louie at the same studio in April 1963. This is version most people think of when it comes to the song.
For years, at least into the late 1990s, the building that housed northwestern recorders, had a plaque on the outside commemorating the recording of this song.
I grew up in Seattle around that time and I distinctly remember listening to the Raiders version of it hence my bias. Paul Revere and the Raiders forever!

Damned phones indeed. My stupid Motorola Android gave me a fit and I was about to shoot the thing. I despise smart phones, and the whole ecosystem about them. "They" want to control everything. Somehow, with some update, the little clock thingy on the home screen changed to some stupid shit that added this crap with "news" (celebrity) shit, and the ultimate outrage, a horoscope. That will not stand with me.
In trying to get rid of it (the whole settings and shit is apparently written for utter idiots -- I boggle at the mentality of people for whom such makes sense), something screwed up and it wouldn't load back.
I had to clear all the data for some main "launcher" program to get it back, which meant I lost all my screen icons.....

It's a waxing crescent. The Moon goes around the Erf faster than anything else, Sun included (from a geocentric reference frame -- it makes things easier to visualize -- the Sun "orbits the earth"), so it laps the sun.
When you see a crescent moon on the evening side to the west after sunset, you know it's waxing. At full Moon, it's roughly opposite the sun, so rises roughly at sunset and sets at sunrise. When you see a crescent to the east before sunrise, you know it's waning.

They were a great group and had a lot of good musicians coming and going. Ironically, they're only number 1 hit, Cherokee Reservation was technically not a PR&R song. It was written and recorded by Mark Lindsey, an occasional member who gave the song to Paul. The track included no actual band members, but featured Hal Blaine on drums and Carol Kaye on bass.
