Thursday Overnight Open Thread - March 12, 2026 [Doof]
Gordie Howe Bridge tolls - beauty, eh? Gordie Howe Bridge announces toll prices significantly lower than Ambassador Bridge, Detroit-Windsor Tunnel
The Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority has announced toll prices for the upcoming Gordie Howe International Bridge. The new bridge connects I-75 in Detroit to Highway 401 in Ontario. The Detroit Regional Chamber called it “the most consequential infrastructure project in the state.” The Gordie Howe Bridge is owned by Michigan and Canada, but is being paid for almost entirely by Canada. While the bridge does not have an official opening date, it is still expected to open to traffic this spring. On Wednesday, March 11, the Windsor-Detroit Bridge Authority announced both the toll prices and Breakaway, a toll discount program that allows vehicles to pass through toll lanes without having to stop and pay. With Breakaway, the toll for passenger vehicles is less than half the current price to cross the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel, both of which raised their tolls this year.----- AI is asshoe Sam Altman admits AI is killing the labor-capital balance—and says nobody knows what to do about it
Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tackled the growing public skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence, acknowledging the warning from President Donald Trump that AI is facing a major public relations problem. Moreover, the tech executive validated widespread anxieties about the future of employment, admitting that the traditional balance between labor and capital is shifting drastically. Addressing the current backlash, Altman noted that AI has become a widespread scapegoat for corporate downsizing and rising utility costs. “Data centers are getting blamed for electricity prices hikes. Almost every company that does layoffs is blaming AI, whether or not it really is about AI,” Altman explained, recalling his recent warning that some companies were engaging in what’s called “AI washing,” in blaming layoffs on new tech regardless if that was the reason for those layoffs in the first place. However, while some of the immediate blame might be misplaced, Altman confirmed that the underlying threat to traditional employment is grounded in reality.
New research conducted by the University of Bristol and developer Meaning Machine shows that gamers enjoy playing with AI-powered non-playable characters. The study comprised 68 people – 31 male, 31 female, seven non-binary – playing the studio's murder mystery game Dead Meat, in which users are tasked with interrogating suepects. The investigation showed that 95% of study participants found the experience enjoyable, while 97% found playing the game to be rewarding. 75% found that Dead Meat allowed them to "express themselves or make meaningful choices". University of Bristol researchers say that all the above sentiments remained true across the different types of games that were in the study. One sentiment expressed by participants was how the AI-powered NPCs in Dead Meat allowed for freedom of expression.----- Why? Just - WHY?!?

I'm watching Armageddon with the wife, and she asked "if an asteroid were headed towards Earth, do you think NASA might actually try something like this?"
I said "no, of course not. The top brass would try to burrow into the ground in some bunker along with the other bigshots, and leave these people to die along with the rest of us. They'd probably die too, but not before trying to screw everyone else."
She replied "that's a bad way to look at it."
I replied "have you ever lived in this country? It's the only way to look at it."
"Yeah, I see what you mean."

My girlfriend de jour got her rich Dad to give us passes to the loge seating at the venue. As such, we had reserved parking and an exclusive entryway. At the door I instinctively hid my bottles of booze underneath my coat. Our usher spied my liquor and said "Let me carry your luggage sir." And he did and took us up to our sky box.
The other normies were getting their weed and booze confiscated and pitched into a dumpster.

Actually on topic of AI NPCs, there are two (or three) gaymes that come to mind.
Fenris Wolf / Vox Day, "Rebel Moon" and "Rebel Moon Rising"; apparently the bad guys were good at reacting to player strategy, and could recalibrate. Ahead of their time for the late 1990s where enemies were generally stupid and/or scripted.
"The Hobbit". The other characters would... wander around the (text-adventure) set. Unlike the thief in Zork, the NPCs could get stuck in parts of the map you couldn't get to, which made it impossible for you to progress. I guess it's... like real life?

I have golfed a few holes that did just that. It is maddening. There is a course in West PA called Avalon Field Golf Club. Used to called New Castle Country Club. It's old. Built in 1921 by A.W. Tillinghast, who if you are familiar with golf architects, he's pretty famous. Anyway, several green's on that course do evil, maddening things. Beautiful course, very hard. Just keeping the ball on the fairway is a challenge. The terrain is very Western PA. Lots of ravines and trees. Blind shots all over the place. It's madness! Plan to golf there again this summer!

Owl concert going on outside! Barred owls around here, usually they have nice regular hoots when they’re active. But when two of them get into the same tree, or trees right next to each other they start what can be described as shrieking, squawking , and almost barking. It’s a terrible racket!
I interpret as “you get outta here right now, this is my tree!””nuh-uh, YOU get outta here right now!” Oddly entertaining, but I see where stories about things like banshees came from.

The court unanimously sided with the NRA, saying the conduct violated the First Amendment.
She joined the Trump administration in October 2025. Rogers openly criticized European countries shaping laws to fight misinformation and disinformation online. She accused Germany of importing “barbarian rapist hordes” and suppressing political dissent in one post on the social platform X."

Aerosmith, Toys in the Attic is one of the most flawless albums ever. Part of it is nostalgia for me, admittedly, but, damn, it is a fucking masterpiece.

I'm a fan of their first three albums, their self-titled first album, 'Get Your Wings', and 'Toys'. All solid.
Funny thing about their song 'Dream On'. When it first came out, it didn't chart. But after later albums, they rereleased it and instant hit.

100% correct about March 13, 2020 being the last normal day. That day we were sent home from work and told to bring home 'something' you could do remotely, because we were going to 'experiment' with working remotely.
I did not come back to my office until August that year, for one week, and was basically considered a hero for doing so. We didn't come back en masse until years later, and we are now permanently "hybrid" and "hoteling".
I never realized it was Friday the 13th until I went back that August!
Hope tomorrow does finally really break the spell, but I'm keeping my hybrid silver lining and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands!

More or less. We were scheduled to host a conference for 100+ people on Thursday of that week.

Certainly I recall my employer announcing in early March 2020 that we were going to remote work. We'd all be paid, but none of us would be allowed back on campus until further notice. It meant I had to get Internet at home (*gasp!* you say -- how did Wolfus ever survive without it???), and a smart phone so my boss could reach me (*double gasp!!!*).
So mid-March 2020 was when I joined the twenty-first century. Kicking, screaming, and grumbling, but I joined.

A burglary in Sept. '83 did for the receiver, turntable, and cassette. I know I replaced them, but can't recall the brands. Not high-end stuff, but good quality.

Graham Coxon was born today in 1969, and it took him a few years, but eventually he became a guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He's mostly known for his work with the band Blur, where he mostly did lead guitar and backup vocals. But, he has sole lyricist credit on one of their biggest hits, also did lead vocals for it, and it's a fantastic music video to boot:

Hillaire Belloc, The Great Heresies. It's mostly free from Kindle.
Interestingly, Belloc viewed Islam as a Christian heresy, simplifying Catholicism by denying the incarnation and Sacraments.
Hillaire also accuses the Reformation as a heresy in a general sense because it broke the unified authority of the Papacy charging that Calvinism leads to the rise of nationalism and competitive capitalism.

I showed that to my older son this evening. Told him that I know I did a lot of cool things in the pool when he and his younger brother were kids - but I never did anything THAT cool. He didn't argue!

Weird that my mom was Lutheran and Dad was an ex Catholic Episcopalian. They didn't attend church but supported me to attend wherever I wanted when I was a kid.

Good ol Lake Charles. If you knew the time I spent there and in Orange. My faith journey isn’t a straight line, either and that’s okay.

Also in the '70s, I had a Pioneer SuperTuner FM/cassette unit added under he dash of my '75 Ford Maverick. It had come with an AM radio only.
The SuperTuner was indeed sensitive. On night drives in Lafayette, LA, and nearby, it would try to pull in signals from quite a ways, and they interfered with each other. If I switched off the FM Stereo circuit, I could get FM mono from Beaumont, TX, and Little Rock, AR.

110 Hillaire Belloc, The Great Heresies. It's mostly free from Kindle.
Interestingly, Belloc viewed Islam as a Christian heresy, simplifying Catholicism by denying the incarnation and Sacraments.
Hillaire also accuses the Reformation as a heresy in a general sense because it broke the unified authority of the Papacy charging that Calvinism leads to the rise of nationalism and competitive capitalism.
Which is interesting because Calvinism is what allowed 9 billion people to inhabit this earth due to competitive capitalism that made all the things due to a strong work ethic and a desire to create and achieve.
Up until then, the world population was pretty flat-lined due to famine, poverty, hunger, war, etc.
Islam, OTOH, is the exact opposite of Calvinism and intends to destroy everything.
The affluence and freedom of this world was brought about by the Printing Press, Gunpowder and Calvinism, and will be destroyed by Censorship, the Sword and Islam.

I remember seeing a Yes concert from '09 or '10 and it was very good, but, of course, you could tell they were older and not quite as energetic as 30 or 40 years earlier, until they played "And You and I". It was like something awoke in them and it was magical. Thanks for this version, Doof.

Nope. The Reformation was the ongoing criminal conspiracy to loot the church and nobody was going to disgorge their ill gotten gains in bringing the church back together. Belloc writes that over and over in Characters of the Reformation in 1936.
Hillaire also accuses the Reformation as a heresy in a general sense because it broke the unified authority of the Papacy charging that Calvinism leads to the rise of nationalism and competitive capitalism.

The Yes album 90125 is really, really good.
Depending on how one views it, it may not have been a Yes album at all. But it was glorious.
Traver Rabin is an *amazing* guitarist. But apparently he never cared to be any bigger that he was at that moment.

It has been revealed that it was the STUDENTS at Old Dominion University who BEAT THE TERR*RIST TO DEATH... WITHOUT GUNS!!!
"There were students that were in that room that subdued him and rendered him... no longer alive.
I don't know how else to say it, but they basically were able to terminate the threat."

Speaking at the BlackRock Infrastructure Summit, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tackled the growing public skepticism surrounding artificial intelligence
AI, or in this case the sort of LLMs we call AI, has the potential for significant issues...
The immediate one is it places a lot of white collar work in jeopardy. The latest stuff, like Claude can write everything from fancy reports to actual software pretty well.
The larger problem is it opens the door even further for EngSoc style history changes. This is sort of the wikipedia problem writ large where if a false statement is created in the source of truth most people use you can make most people believe a lie.

It was having another wonderful mother It was always a pleasure to see her and to bring communion and to hear about her life. i will miss her. I think I've asked for prayer before, but I would be grateful for them tomorrow that God would be with her family and that all goes smoothly. Thx

Get a second opinion to make sure there are no torn ligaments and such. If that is so the steroid could hide the pain short term.

I've been a Pioneer man since buying my first official "hi-fi" piece of equipment in the fall of 1982, the SX-4 receiver. Admittedly, it was the bottom end of their newest line, but it was all I could afford on my Burger King minimum wage at the time. I soon acquired the CT-6R cassette deck, and the PL-4 turntable, all of which were well used until a storm took out the receiver and turntable in '86. Replaced with the SX-2300 and the PL-L-30 linear tracking turntable...which is still on my stereo cabinet to this day. I've since upgraded to the Elite line for the receiver, though (currently the VSX-LX103)

Get a second opinion to make sure there are no torn ligaments and such. If that is so the steroid could hide the pain short term.
They took xrays today, they told me an MRI before we schedule any treatment options.
I have had frozen shoulder before and the symptoms are similar, but last time I didn't get the shot and it took a long time to heal.

So at this point are we just going to rotate between Jihadi and Tranny mass shootings until the general population is ready to solve either or both problems?

And communist blue states will experience a surge in vigilantism. The mfm and communists will blame white supremacy and more 'gun control' will happen. Nobody ever learns anything.

What, today, two shot dead and one dead not shot?
Today we have three dead jihadis with No Glory.
No wringing of the hands from the news. I hope the answer to your question is Yes.
The only other thing, icing on the cake, if the synagogue security shooter was an old black man with a shot gun.

I know AC/DC gets ragged on by a lot of metal heads but they are my favorite. And I don't really get the criticism that all their songs sound the same.
Posted by: Harry Vandenburg at March 12, 2026 11:11 PM (cntUY)
AC/DC always hovered *just* below the metal line, but they did have their moments when they went over the line. The back in black album was great, and it happened right at the perfect moment of the British metal invasion when actual metal bands were releasing iconic albums of that time. Judas priest's British Steel, Black Sabbath heaven and hell, Iron maiden's Iron Maiden, and a bunch of others. Before the back in black album they had a few heavies like the song Sin City. There were songs that were just heavy enough, kinda dancing on the line. AC/DC was always a heavy rock band, maybe not metal, but damn close enough.

I had the steroid shot and it did help. After the shot they told me to stretch a lot on my own and also do PT if I wanted. It did seem to go away much faster than the normal 2-3 years without intervention.

Talk to a physical therapist as well, or ask for a reference. Once you get it unfrozen you are going to have to get some mobility back into it. Even if you get home exercises, they will help.
You might also consider a chiropractor because your neck and back are also going to be out of alignment.
Also, hotpad.
I get lazy and don't do mine and I start losing range of motion, and then some storms roll through and it aches, and I start again. Getting old while stove-up hurts.

I've got a bad feeling we're going to see a lot more attacks. Many people seem to have already forgotten we had an Afghan muslim attack in DC against Guard troops not that long ago. The pace of attacks seems to be increasing.
It's kind of wild to finally see some politicians like Brandon Gill, Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine and others openly calling for banning Muslims from the US. Nobody know how many Biden allowed to come into this country but the number is a lot more than a few.

>>>I've got a bad feeling we're going to see a lot more attacks. Many people seem to have already forgotten we had an Afghan muslim attack in DC against Guard troops not that long ago. The pace of attacks seems to be increasing.
It's kind of wild to finally see some politicians like Brandon Gill, Tommy Tuberville, Randy Fine and others openly calling for banning Muslims from the US. Nobody know how many Biden allowed to come into this country but the number is a lot more than a few.

Killing your adversary is becoming popular.
So is deporting every Muslim.

>>And the dead were 3 song hacks.
Wut? You can accuse the Dead of a lot of things but 3 songs isn't one of them. They had a huge song list.
Never understood the band hate. I couldn't give a wet fart what anyone likes. To each their own.

I said earlier leaving them here would be dangerous, because once the cork blows Americans are going to take care of all family business. Best get them out before that day ever happens.

Yup. The law doesn't exist to protect the law-abiding. It exists to protect the criminals from what the law-abiding ought to do.
Same as it ever was.

The boys in that ROTC class became men today. Some of them will probably be fine military leaders some day. They won't be wearing dresses.

I hope they gave the ODU shooter words of comfort, like "I baptize you in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."
And make sure his family and his mosque know we did it, and we'll gladly do it again to all of them.

The music argument thing is always heated. I like blues and can't exactly define why. May be its just the overall aural sound that grabs my attention.

43 The study comprised 68 people – 31 male, 31 female, seven non-binary
And already we know the study is bullshit, due to cherry-picked respondents.

Coming in late here - did anybody notice that the study also can't do basic arithmetic?
31 + 31 + 7 = 69, not 68.
