1. Got a good chunk of work done.
2. @htdrake singing.
3. Tried out Verdant, the latest addition to our collection of cozy #BoardGames.
Still one of the oldest #Python oddities I've ever seen 🐍🤔
>>> a = ([],)
>>> a[0] += ["what"]
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'tuple' object does not support item assignment
>>> a
(['what'],)
Note that an exception was raised but the operation also worked! 😳 #pythonoddity
Marble League spoilers
Woohoo! #TeamGalactic has *won* the first two events!
Anyone in the #Portland metro area in need of a car? With our kids getting bigger, my little hatchback is getting cramped. We need to trade up to a bigger car.
Hoping for a private sale rather than a trade in (dealer offers are pitiful). If you're interested, DM me and we can talk price...

I'm a CS professor from #Oregon.

Hobbies include #fire #dancing, #boardgames (including #go), and #GameDesign (https://www.thegamecrafter.com/games/siva-afi:-the-fireknife-dance-of-samoa).

1. Was able to lend a helpful ear.

3. Saw some colleagues I hadn't seen in years.
#2694 Königsberg
At first I thought I would need some gold or something to pay him, but then I realized that it was the 18th century and I could just bring a roll of aluminum foil.
