Alaska Airlines grounded its fleet of Boeing 737 MAX 9 for inspection -- (link) - ty97 Jan 6, 08:16 15
- Now it’s an FAA grounding of all planes. -- (link) - spamlet Jan 6, 10:09 2
  - Well a subset of all planes "will order the temporary grounding of certain Boeing 737 Max 9 aircraft operated by US airlines or in US territory" -- nm - JD Jan 6, 11:38 1
    - I assume it’s all planes with the plugged door. That got updated after I posted. -- nm - spamlet Jan 6, 11:42
- I like the "Passengers said" part. That's their opinion. Maybe the hole was there the whole time -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 6, 09:36 1
  - It kind of was? An operator of the Max 9 can opt to not stuff it completely full of uncomfortable super close seats and thus have a lower capacity - JD Jan 6, 11:46
- There doesn’t seem to have been a massive suction event like happens in the movies. - Loyola Jan 6, 09:31 2
  - Plane was only at 16,000 feet (it had only been in the air a few minutes). Higher altitude would have resulted in more suction. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 09:34 1
    - Ah ok. -- nm - Loyola Jan 6, 10:09

I love the idea of the FA Cup -- like a 5th division team is beating a 2nd division team at the moment. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 07:54 4
- Plus you get to see a Premier League team being hosted by a tiny club for some games. -- nm - LMS Jan 6, 08:19 1
  - That's a fun little bonus. Must be awesome for the locals to get to see the big boys on their pitch. -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 08:24
- Yup. It’s great. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 08:00
- Love to see it. -- (edited) - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 6, 08:00

It's likely to be the end of an era this weekend -- it's very likely that Bill Belicheck is going to be moving on from New England, closing the - Will Hunting Jan 6, 07:40 8
- if Tomlin can keep his job for 17 years with only one ring to show for it, seems dumb -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 6, 08:54 2
  - Tomlin's never had a team out of contention. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 09:02 1
    - go to Carolina, Bill -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 6, 09:25

purple first! blue last, because .. wtf - mud Jan 6, 06:11 7
- Same order - Znufrii, exceeds expectations Jan 6, 11:08
- I think this had the most mixed up second guess I’ve ever had. - i.b.! Jan 6, 09:48
- Few errors - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:00
- devious but worked it out - rollo Jan 6, 07:39
- One oopsie. Deep breath and regroup. - VMan Jan 6, 07:18
- Also blue last. No misrakes - TWuG Jan 6, 06:43
- This was one I just could NOT see. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 06:25
Promotion/relegation gets the headlines but how soccer does their tournaments is also very cool. No seeds really. Just random draws. - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 05:52 13
- That, much like relegation, is a system that probably only works in that sport. - the wrong element Jan 6, 06:30 10
  - It definitely doesn't work for us for playoffs as it would render the regular season meaningless. What's the point of winning your division or league - Krusty Jan 6, 06:40 9
    - Unrelated, did you see the bad news about the former member of Mr. Bungle? - the wrong element Jan 6, 08:47
    - It’s because it’s a tournament that runs during the regular season, similar to the nba in season tourney. It doesn’t determine the league winner. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 06:55 7
      - An in-season baseball tournament involving everyone from A to the majors would be amazing. Greensboro Grasshoppers hosting the LA Dodgers. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 06:58 6
        
        It would be fun to see a top player get demoted just so he could make things easier for the major league team. - the wrong element Jan 6, 08:53
        
        I'd watch those games. -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 07:13 3
        
        Right? And usually the big teams win but sometimes, just sometimes, they don’t and it’s awesome. - Volnelk 🍊 Jan 6, 07:32 2
        
        I can think of many reasons why it wouldn't work but the fun of seeing underdog minor league teams push or beat MLB teams would be awesome. -- nm - Krusty Jan 6, 07:41 1
        
        Tune in today as the Norfolk Tides take on the LA Dodgers in a title game. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 07:55
