I’m wouldn’t say I’m antisocial.

The fact that I’ve lived in this house two months and just now was the first time I spoke one word to a neighbor (“morning!”) says it clear enough.

315 character one-liner. Can’t even fit it in one of them new double-wide tweets.

You’d think either shame or pride would dominate but they’re about 50/50.

yes indeed that is some fine fine terrible work

Notice how I avoided only using one language.

A one-language one-liner? That would be the coward’s way out.

I was going to use Rich for the table, but Ruby’s more conducive to one-liners than Python and TTY Toolkit is more than acceptable.

and to think this slide rewrite started from “gosh my Perl one-liner is a little clunky. How could I tighten it up a bit?”

Then. Then I went in a different direction. I bedazzled that one-liner.

Just one last thought before I get back to work-work.

My brain enjoys reading and writing one-liners in #RakuLang more than in Perl.

So anyways watching “The Castle” (1997) again while I get stuff done, prompted by a random aside in a YouTube video.
