#22> The 8-Bit Guy’s first nerd flex is making it shorter than one line.
Hate to be that guy, but a line you enter at the prompt is still a line, even if it's not part of an "actual" (stored) program.

with an even faster implementation in BASIC (much lowers startup time).

Same. Realized this guy is a total hack.

I find it funny that being Texan == gun nut. But I'm from Oregon, lots of OreGUNians around here.
