Main objective is establishing a thinly veiled dictatorship, sugar coated as a presidential system.

Glad to see your opinion on this. My understanding is that it was a pro-Kurdish peace rally (and we know how the Turkish gov't feels about the Kurds) which would back up your assertion on being gov't sponsored.

That video was ******* gut wrenching.

Turkey has historically been a very secular country (at least from what I've read, obviously can't give any real insight not having lived/traveled there), any thoughts on what brought about the turn?

Looked to me like a small leak of some kind of fuel (gas, oil, ??) was ignited from that backfire. Seems like it would have had to be fairly vaporous to do so. IDK why he thought driving away would put it out. Looks like it didn't stop until he shut off the engine.

This is what happens when comcast takes 2 weeks to install cable at your new house, and you have unlimited data. Note the starting date (Oct 10th)

Tiger tank project is no more. Posted the thing on CL, and I was flooded with replies. You'd have thought I was giving away an actual tank.

People want big MDF tanks? I wasted so many sheets of the **** trying to figure out how to waterjet cut the stuff with no swell or taper for sub enclosures, I could make so many cardboard tanks...
