Theranos 

A defunct health care corporation invented by Elizabeth Holmes that was once considered revolutionary in conducting blood tests that required only a finger-prick but there was one big problem; it was too good to be true. It was a big sham. The technology was worthless (engineers with their PhD's couldn't get the blood testing equipment to work), the tests were highly inaccurate (one example; a patient complained about ringing in her ears, Theranos test said she was at risk of having a stroke, her doctor thought something seemed off, gave her a real blood test and it turned out the symptoms were just the result of insomnia!), investors were mislead despite a boatload of red flags (Theranos never demonstrated the technology and showed them the labs. Investors just liked the cool idea of a test requiring just a drop of blood), the company was tyrannical chaos and mistreated their employees pretty harshly, etc.

Holmes and her equally scummy partner/sugar daddy Sunny Balwani have been indicted for wire fraud. Just read the book "Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup" by John Carreryrou if you want to get the full details. A must-read.
I'm just glad I never got sick and relied on a Theranos blood test. I might have died!

(n.)
The pioneers of symphonic metal
Started in the late '80s as a death metal band from Sweden.
They experimented with symphonies and choirs in the early '90s in their songs with fantastic results that they created the first death metal album heavily influenced with symphonies/choirs, the album is called "Theli" and anyone who has appreciation with music should buy it as soon as they get a chance.
Therion is made up of 4 Swedes: a drummer, bass guitarist, and 2 guitarists; they hire choirs & opera singers for studio and live performances.
They are extremely talented, the band members and their singers/choirs, and the great thing about them is that they don't shove their skill right into your face 24/7 (see Dragonforce).
Their lyrics are usually about the occult; the singing are trade-offs between a person using deathgrunts, fast-singing choir, and other voices.

If you like listening to bands like Nightwish & Dimmu Borgir, you'll love Therion.

"Theli" and "Secret of the Runes" are must buys.
If God made a band, it would be Therion.

Back when I lived in upstate new york 

A meaningless, unimpressive, self-serving introduction. An indicator that the story about to be shared will be pointless and dumb.
Back when I lived in upstate new york, I also had to park on the street - on two occasions, we got enough snow, mixed with just the right plowing, that my car was lifted off the ground from so much snow being jammed underneath it.

Acronym, meaning Too Long Didn't Understand
Similar to TLDR
Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
