Me: SO, I know we can't have a holiday party this year, but we CAN make our #rstats R Markdown reports snow before we send them to each other https://t.co/SSBzlgb3TV

JavaScript has a ternary operator

condition ? if_its_true : if_its_false

that's shorthand for

if (condition) { if_its_true } else { if_its_false }

What if we had this in #rstats? It's totally possible ???? pic.twitter.com/OEmfuHqKaz
