Methyl groups cam make drugs more awesome (MDA to MDMA, amphetamine to methamphetamine, theobromine to caffeine,) and perform lots of biological functions. Well, obviously it's way more complicated, but methamphetamine also = you're hosed.  (Caffeine is great, the methyl group in methylxanthine is not making me write this. And I'd rather take lisdexamphetamine than meth.)

Well-done steak should be eaten with ketchup. Unnerving civil engineering projects in war-time: the Mosul Dam is failing. It's a ticking time bomb of a problem that may well cause more casualties than ISIS can ever manage. A breach in the dam might kill more than a million people. The water would obliterate Mosul and crush Baghdad.

Believe it or not, but the estimated casualties are less than 1/3rd of a Mosul Dam catastrophic failure. Still, this is quite frightening.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38663522 Is anyone going to be posting pages from the CIA classified files? That could go in this thread. If there was a new thread then there would be a danger of doubleposting/crossposting etc. E: How about changing the thread title: "PYF Unnerving article/story or CIA classified doc"? Josef K.

(haha pretending that the housing market is rational hahaha) Yeah just security is named. Im no engineer but a bomb blowing a hole in one of these dams may actually be a better outcome than a catastrophic failure of the foundation becuase it would be more of a controlled release. Regardless thats seems like a bullshit answer because they have teams of people watching these dams 24/7 looking for puddles im not sure how anyone could plant a bomb and not be spotted. Its a very weird decision to keep this under wraps. At the same time maybe dallas wouldnt be spending money on a new stadium if they knew they could possibly die without warning everytime it rains. Not really sure if the city or state feels they should pay for it, I assume they would just let everybody die and blame it on the feds rather than poney up the money.

Not weird at all if the real rationale is to keep residents and businesses from packing their bags and moving to higher ground, as it were. That would definitely hurt powerful folks' pocketbooks. I guess that's a fairly paranoid take on it, but secrecy tends to promote that perspective.

That would definitely hurt powerful folks' pocketbooks. I guess that's a fairly paranoid take on it, but secrecy tends to promote that perspective. This is probably true. I recently moved to dallas but i learned about it earlier in this thread. Nobody ive talked to here knows about this. I went to Louisville around the time of the partial collapse and the locals knew about it but nobody mentioned the bigger issue. In fact the told me everybody keeps the collapse on the hush because during drought the lake gets too low to launch boats so a lot of the locals try and sell when the lake goes back to normal levels but they mostly want out for that reason, and the fact that its turning a small old town into a massive suburb. Edit: There is also the insurance aspect of them saying "disaster is immenent" which they have to do to get funding i guess. No idea how insurance companies would feel about that lol.

Huh, that's pretty interesting. Dalmatians, Irish Wolf hounds, and any Lab are the best dogs. Mastiffs and Great Danes are also fantastic. Can we have unnerving dog chat? Someone post those pictures of what the breeds looked like before the kennel clubs hosed them forever.

There's at least one breed in Australia where it's performance in the sheepdog trials is also an official part of its show judging score. Pretty-but-useless animals are not welcome.

Less unnerving and more goofy, but a weird way they apprehended a serial killer in NYC in 1946:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Heirens posted:A scuffle resulted that ended only when an off-duty policeman dropped three clay flowerpots on Heirens's head, one at a time, from the top of the stairs, rendering him unconscious.

More unnerving when you know that Heirens was probably innocent, had cognitive disabilities, and confessed possibly as a result of police brutality.

Here's something fairly unnerving: Inedia, or"breatharianism", is the belief that the human body can obtain all its essential nutrients and sustenance from air and sunlight alone. Widely accepted as a lethal pseudoscience, there are some people who still swear by it. In 1999, an Australian '60 minutes' segment follows around 'Jasmuheen' (real name Ellen Greeve) a best selling spiritual author who claims to have mastered the breatharian lifestyle. 60 minutes merely wanted to observe her, because she adamantly claimed that she could, and indeed had been, sustaining herself without any food or water. Well it takes less than 3 days for 'Jasmuheen' to turn into a gaunt, corpse-looking shade of her former self. Beyond that, her mental faculties have taken a serious toll as well. Her demeanor goes from your run of the mill, airy and evasive holistic charlatan to barely functional space cadet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnCuzUd4eC0 The truly unnerving thing is that you get the impression that she would have starved/dehydrated herself to death if 60 minutes hadn't decided to end their surveillance of her. It seems like they set out to expose a fraud and quickly realized that they were dealing with a dangerously mentally ill person who was willing to die in order to keep up the charade. Of course, she has some garbage excuses about being poisoned by the city air to explain away her deteriorating health. The segment is worth a watch. Last I heard, Jasmuheen is still an outspoken champion of "breatharianism".
