crash retrieval

In ufology, "crash retrieval" is the ongoing, covert practice by military and intelligence agencies of locating crashed UFOs and hauling them back to the nearest secret military warehouse for future scientific study. It is alleged that crash retrievals have been taking place since at least 1947 when the Roswell Incident happened. It is also alleged that the sheer number of successful crash retrievals has been high enough and frequent enough that entire teams have been designated exclusively for the task, and that they are each assigned different geographic regions to carry out their duties.

The goal with crash retrieval is to study the alien technology and the "exotic materials" of the craft, reverse engineer as much of it as possible, and then develop as many military and commercial applications as possible. It has been claimed by UFO insiders that there is a time frame of roughly 20 years from the moment a craft is retrieved, to the marketplace introduction of new tech from the craft. During that 20 years, secret patents get issued to the private contractors whose scientists are studying the exotic materials of the UFO.

Examples of modern technical breakthroughs which are supposedly the end-product of crash retrieval research include transistors, semiconductors, microchips, photovoltaic solar panels, night vision, heat vision, stealth technology, nano-technology, and most of the US space program.
After the UFO was shot down by a fighter pilot, a crash retrieval team from the US Army arrived at the crash site, cordoned off the area, and then hauled the craft lifeless away.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

EBK stands for "Elite Ball Knowledge." 1 In internet slang, "ball knowledge" originally referred to a deep understanding of football/soccer or basketball, but it has evolved into a broader term for having a highly sophisticated, deep, or niche understanding of any specific topic (such as music, movies, or subcultures).
Person A: "That scene was a direct homage to an unreleased 1982 Japanese indie film."
Person B: "Wow, EBK."

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
