Innocent Byproduct's definitions
In ufology, a USO is an Unidentified Submerged Object, which is really a UFO spotted traveling under water.
Most sightings of USOs have been by people while at sea, especially naval personnel. But less common sighting involve USOs emerging from or entering inland bodies of water such as lakes and rivers. The eyewitness accounts of USOs entering and exiting water describe the undertaking as seamless and virtually effortless on the part of the craft, which neither slows down nor compensates in any way when passing form one medium to the next.
Because USOs exhibit the ability to travel through both air and water, they are referred to as being "transmedium craft."

The seaman looked down from the rail of the ship and saw a large shape moving quickly through the ocean waters below, and so he at first thought he was seeing a strange-shaped whale. But then when it *swam* up out of the water and into the air, covered with lights, and zoomed off into the clouds, that's when he realized he had just seen a USO.

Products that come with a EULA (pronounced "YOO - lah") are high-tech, big-ticket items: cars, cell phones, appliances, etc. EULAs contain do's & don't's for using a product. Violating the EULA will usually void the warranty.
A EULA is not the same as a TOS (Terms of Service Agreement). A TOS is for a service, not a physical object.
Legally, a EULA gives you permission (gives you a "license") to use the product after you buy it. Presumably, the manufacturer can "revoke" that "permission" at any time, and they will do so by remotely shutting down the product (called "bricking" your product), rendering it inoperable.
The language of a typical EULA includes "hold harmless" clauses to protect the manufacturer from lawsuits. Additionally, you will (usually) be agreeing to let the manufacturer gather personal data about you via the product. This includes your locations, shopping habits, medical information, sexual orientation, etc. A EULA will also usually dictate that you resolve disputes via arbitration (not lawsuits), and stipulate that the arbiter will be hired by the manufacturer (so the arbiter works for the manufacturer, and will do as they say).
EULAs will become more common as modern manufacturers move away from the business model of selling things, and embrace the model of leasing things. That way, "you will own nothing and be happy."

I tries to read the EULA (End User License Agreement) that came with my new cell phone, but it was over 30 pages long, so I just gave up and signed it anyway. I hope that by signing it, I didn't agree to anything too crazy.

So he simply stops attending church, and no longer fellowships with Christians, and no longer submits himself to the authority of any church leadership structure. He has not necessarily ceased his belief in God and Jesus and the Bible, but rather he has chosen to no longer participate in church attendance, and all the trappings that come with church attendance.
Most church leavers who wish to remain devout in their faith rely heavily upon the internet for sermons and for indepth Bible research. They find comfort in being able to watch a pre-recorded YouTube sermon at their leisure, or else to be an anonymous "lurker" during a live webcast of a live Sunday morning sermon being sent out from some church elsewhere in the world.
They will sometimes interact on social media groups with other Christians where they might discuss theological matters and even ask for prayer. But the priority of a church leaver to remaining uncommitted to any one church body or group of believers is never compromised.

I became a church leaver when I realized that church attendance was more burdensome than simply worshiping God on my own.

Most finfluencers prefer to release instructional videos about money, the stock market, investments, and commodities on a regular basis via YouTube, Vimeo, and Instagram, etc.

As background, the original term "hyper-responder" was already used by dietary professionals for years prior to Feldman's blog post. And in dietary literature, a "hyper-responder" is someone who adopts a low-carb diet, then experiences dramatic cholesterol elevation. So when Feldman wrote his 2017 blog article, he co-opted "hyper-responder," and crafted his new term "lean mass hyper-responder" to describe what he believes is a metabolically unique sub-set of all hyper-responders. Specifically, some hyper-responders begin a low-carb diet while already in possession of a very lean body mass. And yet in spite of this, they still --quite counter-intuitively-- respond with extreme cholesterol elevation. Additionally, these subjects experience a marked decrease in triglycerides, while exhibiting excellent metabolic health. The entire phenomenon defied a long-standing metabolic theory called "The Lipid Energy Model," presenting a scientific conundrum for Feldman.
Feldman believed that all this was a significant observation worth exploring. And his efforts eventually led to a 2023 research project called "The Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Study" led by Dr. Matthew Budoff and Dr. Nicholas Norwitz at Lundquist, UCLA.

IN A SENTENCE: "Steve has always been a tall, skinny, beanpole of a guy. And then when he went on the carnivore diet, he was still skinny, but his cholesterol went through the roof. His doc said that overall he's pretty healthy, so he might just be a lean mass hyper-responder."

In past human history, we find accounts of ancient tunnels in Arizona built by the fabled “Ant People” of Hopi lore. We also read about the famous Nazi bunker of Adolf Hitler's final days —an exceptionally engineered bunker with bedrooms, offices, dining facilities, and environmental controls. It is speculated that Nazi scientists from Operation Paperclip were crucial for the success in engineering the first American D.U.M.B.s in the 1950s and 1960s, including the Cheyenne Mountain Complex (now part of the US Space Force).
According to witnesses, D.U.M.B.s exist all over the United States, with the heaviest concentration beneath the High Desert of the American West where the rock strata is strong enough to support the structures, and the lack of groundwater affords the least interference from flooding during construction, expansion, and ongoing operations.
Privately contracted long haul truckers claim underground highways connect these bases, stretching through tunnels for many hundreds of miles, complete with intersections, traffic lights, and gas stations.
FEMA's "Continuity of Government" initiative is rumored to include D.U.M.B.s in its plans to preserve key governmental personnel in the event of a catastrophic national emergency, such as nuclear war.

The US military has secretly built hundreds of Deep Underground Military Bases (aka D.U.M.B.s) all across the USA, especially in the American West, and Antarctica is said to have one of the largest singular, self-contained D.U.M.B.s in the world.

The term refers to any living (or no longer living) creatures, plants, and microbes discovered in a retrieved UFO. The term usually refers to the presumed pilots of the craft, but actually any living material can be a biologic. The term is critical for the systematic itemization and cataloging of all pieces of debris retrieved from a crash site.
UFO insiders claim that some of the non-human pilots recovered (dead or alive) from crashed UFOs have proven to be what are called "biologic robots," which are basically machines with living flesh incorporated into their construction. Those robots get included in the category of "non-human biologics" by the crash retrieval teams as they sift through the wreckage and start separating and packaging the debris for transport and storage. The two main categories for itemizing each crash site fragment start off as "biologic" and "non-biologic." And from there, myriad sub-categories include such labels as "exotic materials," and "non-human intelligence," to name just a few.
This classification is necessary since all biological material (dead or alive) needs to be subject to preservation efforts (such as climate controlled transport and storage), and also needs to handled with HAZMAT levels of caution to shield the human members of crash retrieval teams from contamination by any incidental pathogens.

The crash retrieval team arrived at the debris field of a crashed UFO and found several non-human biologics in and around the crash site. Most of the non-human biologics were dead, but one was still very much alive, but seriously injured.
