Lennart Poettering

A somewhat well-known author of surreal horror fiction from Germany, Lennart Poettering is mostly known for writing overly long and confusing works such as Pulsations of Autophilia (a tragedy about a sluggish autistic teenager who is murdered while fucking his uncle's Porsche and comes back as a ghost to seek vengeance) and Systems Down (about a server administrator who finds himself locked in the server room after closing time with a horrible, memory-corrupting abomination).
I picked up this new book at Barnes and Noble, but it says that Lennart Poettering is required reading so I'm taking it back.

poetterware 

Poetterware is a type of software mostly found on Linux systems, for example systemd, pulseaudio, policykit, consolekit, xdg-open, colord and more.
This software generally works very well and solves really complicated problems, but if it doesn't behave the way it should, you will have a hard time debugging the issue (e.g. via dbus), working around it (by quick hacks) or use alternative software. It may be written by Lennart Poettering or the freedesktop foundation or other participants in the ecosystem.
You're using Gentoo Linux with systemd? Yes, although it's poetterware it works very well for me.

john pinette 

A comedian that tells jokes mostly about his weight and his life on the road.
I laugh so hard when John Pinette says "Get outta line."
A woman who has two sides to her. She can be charismatic, funny, connect with you in a special kind of way (whether it be romantic or friendly), she's sure to have a big impact on your life if you take the necessary precautions to let her in. Polettes are a very reserved people, usually takes a while for you to earn their trust but once you do, hold on like george of the jungle swingin on vines.

On the other hand, she can be a real bitch about some things, but in the good way. The kind of way where you enjoy arguing with her even if shes being a dumbass. Polettes are also known for making bad decisions, in the realm of dating, but at the end of the day, Polettes are the kind of people you want in your life even if they broke your heart.

Most likely listens to "alternative music" because Polettes think theyre unique as fuck
"Oh yeah Polette? She broke my fuckin heart but shes chillin"

"Polette's coming over later dad!"

"Damn shes stupid, classic Polette that one"

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!
