Turkey shoots down russian jet
While not excusing their actions by any means, it's interesting how people saying something like that forgetting the fact these pilots were dropping bombs on them in the first place. And i've heard reports that they're not even particularly choosy on who they drop them, militants or civilians. In any case, it's a bit hypocritical to expect these people to act differently. "We're dropping bombs on you, but shooting a pilot is just too much!" Really? Ah yes, the ever common preface which is proven a lie by what follows. I don't think British routinely executed German pilots during the Blitz, if they survived, after all. Also, you must be dreaming if you expect withdrawing and running away is an acceptable solution for state, especially a power like Russia. They don't need to bomb Turkey or anything, but those Turkmen are in a country that they were invited into, and are fighting against Assad. Not a big escalation to put the squeeze on them.

Nah, too much fear of reprisal. Have to bloody someone's nose, and Turkey seems sensitive about the Turkmen in Syria so they pay the price.

Russian marine killed as well, a chopper was shot by a TOW missile.

I think the Turkmen in Syria are in for a rough time.

The Muslamic Lizardmen still fight them in this shadow war.

Extraordinary meeting by NATO going on now.

Yep. Given all this trouble that's resulted from this adventure, can't say their lives were worth anything near it.

Should have just let Assad massacre these clowns to start with way back when.

Didn't think Turkey would be that stupid. Maybe people look into Putin pointing out what an ally Turkey is against ISIS - but doubt it. Guess the PKK may have a new benefactor, soon ?

European Refugee Crisis
Well it does suck for a single guy who just wants out of being drafted by either side or just dead. But other countries will take them. Had to laugh at people pointing out Steve Jobs was born to Syrians. That's a reason to keep them out, surely

European Refugee Crisis
Funny, that, from a British person. Interestingly Canada is refusing to take single men, essentially, as refugees - http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-refugee-plan-women-children-families-1.3330185 Doubt there was much a security risk to begin with considering the source we are taking them from (camps).

What you did today
I was planning to steal the Solaris box, but sadly the office manager was trying to hustle me out. Rather funny as apparently he told my manager he was a bit worried at how I would take the news. Contacting recruiters today, and plugging along with learning Android development, can't come up with a simple app to make for exercise and fun - was thinking of a "Today in the history of your city".

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Well, all of the prequels have cool fights, where they attempt strikes that wouldn't do any damage even if they weren't blocked. They were okay though, even if Episode III has the commonly referenced weird blender sequence, heh. Ray Park was good though, he must have had fun doing that stuff. And hey if lightsabers can have crossguards, I think a shield would also fit with the Rule of Cool approach to things.

Catchy intro tune.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Things need to be Cool though. Is why we ended up with the ballet of TPM's saber fight. One of them should just come up with a light shield. I am curious as to what that stormtrooper is wielding against Finn, in one of the tv spots, is some sort of maul that can parry a lightsaber.

Always trust Euros to work their wrists over themselves. Or at least here, hah.

Eh, collateral damage. Bad as it is, who is going to discipline Russia

Attacks in Paris
"Their" war? Remind me who helped create ISIS in the first place? Well if they are trying to take their country it is their war regardless of the cause. Kind of lame to outsource a direct threat.

Seems more a slam at Obama than teachers. A slam on teachers would be amazement you knew where Mali was (hah!) Trump, as always, knows the Final Solution - http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/11/donald-trump-doubles-down-on-registering-muslims/416973/

What you did today
If she has a watch ask to see it and have a measuring tape handy. If she wears bracelets a lot, maybe inquire about how they measure them exactly and hope she lets her size slip. Taser her from behind and measure it before she comes to. [sur-uh p-tish-uh s] /ˌsɜr əpˈtɪʃ əs/ adjective 1. obtained, done, made, etc., by stealth; secret or unauthorized; clandestine: a surreptitious glance. 2. acting in a stealthy way. 3. obtained by subreption; subreptitious. Particular lady is smart enough to understand my intentions if I do any of those. Well, except maybe for the tasering part, ffs. I have been lucky to just tell them I am getting them a gift and ask their size. That metric isn't really something easily as known as their taste in books or fondness for dip pens or what have you. The ambush and tase option is still the most reliable and maintain surprise. Met with old coworkers, including old manager. A tad awkward, but seems things are uneasy at the old place. Not looking forward to applying and interviewing process.
