Have spent all day on trying to figure out why CI fails a new test I added (as part of a fix) on mac & Linux that passes on Windows. Turns out, `Uri.TryCreate` is platform-sensitive 😖
Also, piping C# to `dotnet run -` via stdin is awesome.

Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
