- "British MPs have approved the amendment that rejects a no-deal Brexit at any time in any circumstances." -- nm - Andie Mar 13, 12:23 3

  - "They now will vote on another amendment to tonight's motion which calls for a delay of Brexit until May 22, for further preparations to take place. - Andie Mar 13, 12:24 1

I know American's initial MAX base was Miami (doesn't mean all flights were to/from Miami). Not sure about Southwest/United -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 12:01 3
- Looking at a couple of United MAX tail numbers, they look to have been mainly flying out of Houston and SF (including SF-Hawaii) -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 12:06 1
  - And just looking at one Southwest tail number, since they don't really do the hub/spoke thing, no surprise the plane has been all over the place. -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 12:07
- I think it might be outside of DC - decline Mar 13, 12:03
Marvel's 'Shang-Chi' Sets Director Destin Daniel Cretton -- (link) - Remlik Mar 13, 11:57

  - He's grounded. -- nm - budice Mar 13, 11:59
- I hope all those planes land safely. I wonder how this will effect near future flights - Do you think there will be cancellations? -- nm - decline Mar 13, 11:44 5
  - For US airlines, expect some cancellations, though we aren't in the heaviest travel season yet and airlines can to an extent delay planned retirements -- (edited) - ty97 Mar 13, 11:51 4

- Wait, what?!?! -- (link) - Dennis Muilenberg s.i. Mar 13, 11:50 11
  - It appears that additional info came to light that pushed Canada and the US to act (what info I don't know) -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 11:56 10
    - The news that someone named Trump didn't receive a suitcase with money. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 13, 12:28
    - Probably all the social media posts about Why are we the only country to fly them...oh Mar a lago...right -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 12:24
    - NWBR referred to satellite data that suggested similrities between the flight profiles of the Lion Air and Ethiopian Air crashes -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 11:58 4
      - Yeah, that very much could be it. I'm just always leery of breaking news details in plane incidents as bad reporting and/or rumors seem to happen lots - ty97 Mar 13, 12:00 3
        
        It was referred to by Canada's Transport Minister in a press conference. - Roger More Mar 13, 12:06 2
        
        But who trusts Canadians? -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 12:07 1
        
        Canada didn't get that data on its own! We're not made of satellites, you know! -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 12:13
    - I'll bet I know how to get that additional info ... -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 13, 11:57 2
      - Lay in a box of spiders a la Fear Factor? -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 11:59 1
        
        Hate you right now. - ReluctantCynic Mar 13, 12:03
- Unclear to me if this is MAX 8 only or all MAX. There are far more MAX 8 then MAX 9 flying, but still some MAX 9. - ty97 Mar 13, 11:45 1
  - I read Max 8 and 9's -- nm - decline Mar 13, 11:45
- poor Max -- nm - decline Mar 13, 11:36
- MAX!!! will you still be able to watch the good fight on friday?!? -- nm - amanda Mar 13, 11:33
- nmb -- (link) - ty97 Mar 13, 11:32 2
  - I guess having 50 other countries do it first was finally the tipping point -- nm - decline Mar 13, 11:37 1
    - I figured Canada (or whatever pushed Canada over the edge perhaps) was the sign this was coming -- nm - ty97 Mar 13, 11:40

T. Ray McJunkins sounds like Gravity Falls character, but is running for public office locally -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 10:37 3
- Hoping for that birdly kiss, eh? -- nm - Baronan the Accuser Mar 13, 10:51
- McJunkins sounds like a completely made up name. -- nm - Andie Mar 13, 10:40 1

Shazam: Fandango offering Early Screenings two weeks before release. On March 23rd -- (link*) - budice Mar 13, 10:35 1
- Usually a sign they think they'll get good word-of-mouth. -- nm - Inigo Mar 13, 10:37
The #Chargers agreed to terms with QB Tyrod Taylor on a 2-year deal. -- nm* - decline Mar 13, 10:29 18
- The Ravens should have gone after him; he's a good safety valve for Lamar's growing pains to come. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:34 16
  - They're probably going to re-sign RG3. -- nm - Inigo Mar 13, 10:35 15
    - I think they have to; but Tyrod's a much better NFL QB at this point then RG3. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:37 14
      - RG3 did great mentoring Lamar last year. For all the hand-wavyness about Jackson, he had the best record, and second best passer rating... - Inigo Mar 13, 10:40 13
        
        He had good results in a small sample of games but overall...I don't think you can look at him and feel confident *this* year. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:49 6
        
        All of this ignores that he's not just a passer as a QB. - Inigo Mar 13, 10:52 5
        
        This sounds like the arugment Vick Fans used to use. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 13, 11:00 2
        
        Meh. Completely ignoring a full aspect of a player's game makes no sense. - Inigo Mar 13, 11:10
        
        Jackson has a long way to go in the NFL to merit Vick comparisons. -- nm - David Mar 13, 11:03
        
        The problem is that being a running QB has *NEVER* been a long-term successful strategy in the NFL. - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:57 1
        
        He'll be both, and has already done both. -- (edited) - Inigo Mar 13, 11:02
        
        I was a Lamar Jackson fan, but his on-field play last year as a passer was F- stuff. -- nm - David Mar 13, 10:46 4
        
        The playoff game, yes. Well, aside from those last two drives. - Inigo Mar 13, 10:50 [Image] 3
        
        Vs KC, he was 13 for 24, for 147 yards...2 TD's and 0 INT's. (and lost) - Will Hunting Mar 13, 10:59 1
        
        What that stat doesn't show is an amazing play where he jukes a defender in the back field, rolls left... - Inigo Mar 13, 11:05
        
        In the Falcons game, he looked like an 8th grader. -- nm - David Mar 13, 10:58
        
        Lamar is about to get some bad P.R. for going 105mph and taking an Instagram picture of it. -- (link) - Inigo Mar 13, 10:45

"Late model Ford" - would that be a 1957 Mustang or a 2017 Mustang? (opinions on this are almost violently divided in our department) -- nm - prayformojo Mar 13, 09:56 9
- Something from the last three or four years. -- nm - David Mar 13, 10:02 1
  - a late model is any car still having payments made on it. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 10:25

  - Wikipedia agrees with me. -- (link) - Andie Mar 13, 09:57 3
    - Thank you. The majority of my office is insane on this point. -- nm - prayformojo Mar 13, 10:03 2
      - What’s their rationale and does it involve the earth’s shape or vaccines? -- nm - Roger More Mar 13, 10:23
      - tell them Late is the opposite of Early. An 'early model' is literally one of the earliest models of a car. Therefore a Late model is one of the latest models of a car. -- nm* - Andie Mar 13, 10:11
