it's only a graveyard if it's next to a church. Not true. You can have cemeteries with a church or graveyards not. There's a connotation of "graveyards" as older than cemeteries, and most older ones were near chur

Why would they? I can guarantee my parents don't. I guess I got one last year when I got an Xbox controller to connect to the PC, but I don't want to use that one for my phone, it stays with the controller. I guess if I'm goi

I looked at Lyft once and it required a Facebook account to sign up. I laughed and have never touched it since. This is a probably 10 year old grudge at this point, but fuck ‘em. I don’t use Spotify for the same reason. At least that seems

I very much admire the dedication to stick with coding and designing SV, but I also understand at some level how it works. But creating the art and music may as well be wizardry. Eric being able to do that also is awe-inspiring.
