Professor Brian Harvey On Why Not To Cheat
Humans have been using drugs since the first person ate the wrong plant and got high instead of dying.
If you look at most drugs in nature, it is almost impossible to OD on them IN THEIR NATURAL FORM.
It's only when we alter that using chemicals, heat, or modifying the plant's genetic code via cross-pollination that we get drugs that destroy people.
Conversely, drugs that have been distilled from natural sources have also saved millions from death or from chemical imbalances in their bodies.
Man made drugs keep me on a (mostly) even keel. Without them my life is hell. Not from addiction, but because my body's chemicals are out of whack.
Yet some man made drugs are poison and should not be used (or extremely rarely). Most opioids fall directly into that category. Still, it is the corporate greed and misuse of these drugs that make them an ignored epidemic.
I could go on, but TL;DR
Natural drugs are a gift to humankind. Man Made drugs are a mixed bag.
Massive Load
It's a fractionation tower (fractionation column, spliltting tower etc. - lots of different names) for separation of components of natural gas or light ends of distillation or cracking processes for hydrocarbon refining. Hard to tell specifics, but if for Shell in Fort Saskatchewan (the Scotford site), one might guess given length and layout could be debutanizer or perhaps depropanizer for synthetic crude refining (looks too short for a de-C3, but hard to tell on its own).
Being Edmonton, I'd expect some sort of oil refinery boiler.

Far Cry 5 : Official Announce Trailer | Ubisoft
The first third or so of Far Cry 3 was brilliant. Far Cry 4 was probably technically a better game, but it was nearly exactly the same game and I'd had enough of it by then.
Maybe if they change it up enough it will be good. What made the first part of Far Cry 3 so good was how novel and threatening the environment was. You'd be making your way carefully through the jungle, paranoid about tigers and stuff and then you'd hear a car coming and you'd scamper off into a ditch to hide until it passed. It was awesome. But after a bit, you figured it out and had lots of guns and bullets and you didn't have to care anymore. You just picked an icon on your map and walked directly towards it, machine-gunning anything that got in your way.
If they could somehow distill the essence of playing Far Cry 3 for the first two or three hours into the whole of Far Cry 5, they might have something. I don't think it's possible though.
An American-Muslim comedian on being typecast as a terrorist
@gorillaman
The only thing I see failing completely is your absurd attempt at rationalizing your bigotry--more aptly labelled in this case by its proper name: Islamophobia. I don't for a second believe what I'm about to post will change your mind about Islam or Muslims in general but I do believe that this kind of bigotry needs to be called out when it rears its ugly head. And my, you went full ugly there, didn't you... comparing Muslims to rats and seriel killers? Classy.
Despite your protestations to the contrary, there are in fact Muslims who do not believe in God but for a variety of reasons (keeping peace with religious family members, maintaining a connection to their cultural heritage, networking, etc.) continue to attend services and identify as Muslims. This is true of many believers in all the major religions, including Christianity and Judaism.
You see, as much as you'd like Muslims to all be boogeymen coming to bring Sharia law down on the rest of world, anyone who has actually met and talked with a Muslim (and god-forbid actually visited one of the countries StukaFox listed) realizes that Muslims, like all people, are extremely diverse (again, despite your protestations to the contrary).
Indeed there are Sharia zealots. But there are also moderates and reformers and even liberal radicals. Mostly, though its just a lot of people trying to get on with their lives the best way they know how.
Now, I find most religious beliefs to be repugnant. However, I don't find the ideas expressed in the Koran to be much more repugnant than, say, the Bible. In fact, I'm less concerned about what is written in supposedly holy books and more concerned with how believers attempt to implement those ideas in reality. I do indeed find particular forms of this implementation, such as forcing women to wear a bhurka, disturbing (just as I find Christians' attacks on LGBT rights disturbing). It's important to note, though, that such practices are NOT universal. For example, in some Islamic countries like Malaysia it's enough to simply cover your hair with a colorful scarf.
On the other hand, other practices that you mentioned such as Female Genital Mutilation and virginity tests ARE NOT Islamic. FGM predates Islam and is still practiced in the locales where it originated (places such as Mali, for instance) that now happen to be Islamic majority areas. The Indonesian virginity tests as well do not stem from some universal commandment in Islam but from Indonesian culture which sees women as "the symbol of the nations moral guardians".
Again, I don't suppose any of this makes any difference to you. You want to see the world in black and white, us versus them, "rats" and "serial killers" versus you, the white knight who is just trying to save us all from our cultural relativistic blindness. And so the shades of grey I am describing to you will likely go overlooked. I would be happy to be proven wrong, but I suspect the reality is I'll receive some lengthy reply that can be distilled down to, "Islam bad, hur." Or perhaps, "All religions bad, but Islam worst, hur." To which I can only reply, that demonizing the practitioners of any particular religion is unlikely to bring about the reforms you seek.

A look at the Bengal carrier Star Citizen
No, no one is pushing the boundaries of technology. They're doing nothing that hasn't been done in games for decades. This is finely-distilled, vitamin-enriched marketing; i.e. complete bullshit.
I dropped a decent chunk of change on this when it was announced. I'm skeptical I'll ever get to play it, but honestly, I don't care at this point.
I'm just glad someone is really pushing the bounds of technology.

Thanks for distilling it down to that for me. It's now implemented and tested successfully.

The actual API call isn't that bad, it's just https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos?part=contentDetails&id=$UbyKywWvlCE&key=(your API key)
I couldn't test it though, I haven't registered for API access... is that the bullshit you were referring to? I just get keyInvalid

Ultra-Pure Water Tastes Like Nothing And Can Kill You
...by a factor of about 4-6 or more additional water-tweaking processes (electrodialysis, reverse-osmosis, carbon filtration, etc). They probably start the process with some insane, lab-monkey distillation...Betcha this stuff is great for washing-out wounds, eh?? Be nice to have a bottle or two for the bug-out bag...
How is this video is in the top 15 is the real mystery (congrats, esoog)
So how is this different from distilled water?

Excellent Short about Soda Pop Stop, A Soda Store
Lovely to watch again. for the multiple time. So great.
Makes me want to forage for quality pop/soda and drink it and savor it as a quality home crafted beer.
The fuck I can get quality Soda though. or Beer. I can distill water from the air though, MmmMmMMM fresh H2O.

Babymetal: J-pop-metal crossover
That was.... That had zero artistic value unless you count the amount of effort to engineer and arrange the perfect melding of these things.
In the end, it's just cutesie gothic lolitas prancing around to lull the crowd into ignoring that it's a prerecorded music track, and superficial construct of media.
I guess that's art in some form.
For some reason I still dig it. I guess that's the magic of a pure distillation pop-production.
EDIT: Curiosity got the better of me and I downloaded the album. It's pretty funny, and often wanders more into the realm of regular J-pop and electro-synth music, and with one song, for some reason, gangster rap.

Yeah.... nothing brings down genuine human feeling and achievement like being distilled into a fine, malt commercial.
Fuck this.
NASA's 3D Printer Makes Pizza
Yep. Plus a GIANT steak. With some kind of potato side dish. Hasselback potatoes maybe?
Ohhh....and cheeeeese!!!! Any fernented dairy product really.
Plus cured meats....ALL of them.
And beer along with all distilled spirits.
