Woke up early to an emergency alert about an incident at a nuclear plant in the area, that was fun. Sadly fell asleep so lost productive time.

Well, or their parents. Yeah, I should have said people still believe that Iran planned to shoot a passenger airline.

Got to GR 75 in D3, rather fun with Crusader and the Valor set. As usual Primals are a lie, but that is the gimmick. Back to Disco Elysium, think I need to work on games I bought but never play this year.

It's very, very likely, as it's due incompetence rather their being malicious. Similar situation to the Vincennes, albeit a bit less aggressive by the shooter. Forget if MH17 was down to rebel idiocy but it also seems likely. Doesn't really seem like anyone especially important was on the plane, but it being Iran, you'd think they'd just snatch them at the airport.

Well, perceived conformation, remember this the US we're talking about.

Iran admitted they shot down the aircraft by accident. Funnily some people seriously believe they intentionally shot down the aircraft, huh.

Great, means they'll be playing a lot of Rush on the radio here.

Paradox fans have Battered Person Syndrome. :P

Nazis.

Sort of strange that there would be a film of it. Then again, maybe plane watching is a thing in Tehran.

Leaks that US says Iran shot down the passenger jet https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/plane-crash-us-officials-confident-iran-shot-down-passenger-jet-bound-for-ukraine-today-2020-01-09-live-stream-updates/

Hey, it might work as well as it does now.

And now a passenger jet crashed in Iran, doesn't seem anyone knows much at the moment. Apparently their refusal to hand the black boxes over to Boeing is seen as suspicious, although I would assume that would be standard as manufacturers may have some interest in covering themselves. Then again not sure if "hand over" is meant as actually doiny so or just involving them in it.

I guess we get to see if that threat of disproportionate response was for real.

Ah, hah, so it wasn't climate change related at all!

Hah, clever. Probably would upset Trump more than them blowing up some soldiers.

Intel chose a boring code name for their discrete GPU - DG1.

So Syberia 3 not only has the worst ending I've encountered in a long time but also the most insulting DLC ever. Has two, uh, "puzzles" and a ridiculous ending. Sokal et al. have some balls charging $5 for this, glad I got in the bundle.

Trump threatening cultural sites has been the funniest thing in this whole fuss.

Ah, if Iran returned the favour that would be evil, naturally https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/pompeo-u-s-is-now-targeting-irans-actual-decision-makers

Easier to put a yellow ribbon on.

Funny, all of this and no Bolton there. Wouldn't have expected tha

Been trying that for a year, not too bad at it but it is a hard language to learn.
