gollark: <@113673208296636420> What you said about setfenv seems to be wrong. It does return a function pointer or whatever, yes, but it also modifies the environment of the existing function in-place.

gollark: Or even any.

gollark: I suspect Terra has not looked closely at many of the alternatives.

gollark: also, it is not.

gollark: Pong.

Notes

The team beat USC four times, winning 94–79 at home and 99–62 away the last two games.
