noun - primary one

FreeBSD is one of several Unix-like operating systems stemming from the BSD4.4-lite release of the Berkeley Software Distributions.

FreeBSD is the most popular of the BSDs and is focused largely on the ix86 platform.

FreeBSD currently has two main development branches; 4.9 and 5.2. The first is stable and ready for use in servers. The second is a development branch that will see better SMP support.

The FreeBSD mascot is one that is shared by all BSDs, the beastie. Falsely called Chuck or Charlie by some this daemon is a smiling fellow in large sneakers that has undergone relatively few alterations over the past two decades and has been used on hats, boxer shorts, shirts, jackets, stickers and has been used on a series of pewter and copper statues.

FreeBSD has spawned two prominent derived operating systems; Darwin, the Unix-like underpinings of Mac OS X and DragonflyBSD, a contiuation of the 4.x codebase seeking to completely rewrite the way the operating system uses multiple processors.

noun - primary two

The FreeBSD Project, the organisation that manages the development of the FreeBSD operating system.

Freebasing 

Freebasing is when you take chemical reagents, research chemicals, or drugs, and you turn them from the HCl salt or other salts to the freebase. This is often done either with baking soda and hydrogen oxide(water) or sodium hydroxide. Sometimes you need to freebase something to react with ketones or aldehydes in a lab to form an imine. Sometimes you freebase something to smoke it(make it more smokable) even though it last shorter just because the high or buzz hits faster. HCl salts can be mixed in water and drinked or snorted. Freebase can only be smoked. Ethylamine HCl in ethanol solution to freebase ethylamine in ethanol using sodium hydroxide. Methylphenidate HCl (Ritalin, MPH HCl) to freebase Methylphenidate. 4F-MPH HCl to freebase 4F-MPH. Troparil HCl to freebase Troparil. Amphetamine HCl to freebase Amphetamine. Ethylamphetamine HCl to freebase Ethylamphetamine. Cocaine HCl to freebase Cocaine(called crack). 3-FA HCl to freebase 3-FA. Blue speed HCl to freebase Blue speed.
4F-MPH HCl to freebase 4F-MPH using baking soda and hydrogen oxide (water) is an example of freebasing.

A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.

Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.

A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.

A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
"The dead drop is the restroom toilet at the Gulf station at the corner of Commercial Ave. and Georges Rd."

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.
