Ayreon is so damn theatrical that they made and filmed an opera called "The Theater Equation" and it's pretty damn glorious. Check out Dream Theater's "The Astonishing" if you want to hear a more dramatic story as well. If you want something more symphonic with mostly traditional orchestral instruments, Blind Guardian's "Twilight Orchestra - Legacy of the Badlands" will scratch that itch. Shadow Gallery, Symphony X, and Threshold are also honorable mentions.

It's still better than WebEx because I don't have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.

The idea is to deliberately give them a small amount of money so they won't dispute the inheritance by saying they were overlooked.

Boomers were drawn in to MAGA to protect their wealth. Gen Z kids were attracted by the promise of lifting them out of poverty and change of the status quo on this. Fascists are really good at convincing people on all parts of the economic spectrum.

That's an uncomfortable yet valid question. A significant portion of Gen Z kids were exposed to the MAGA shit through Rogan or Tate. I'm not a parent, but I'd put some serious thought into limiting their inheritance on the down low.

I don't know most of these mascots or what they're for and that makes me happy.

MAG was truly a gem that never got the chance to shine. I wish some other developer would try doing something as mad as 256 player matches again.

195 million Americans could have voted. I'll be generous and assume 40% were unwillingly removed from the voting registrations or couldn't vote by mail. That still leaves 117 million Americans who simply did not care about who was going to win. They were just as fine with having a neoliberal president with feeble, token acts of progress, or a fucking fascist. The apathy in this country is rampant and I find it horrifying. It means they feel isolated from whatever consequences come next.

It'd be nice if JRPGs would go back to the old school overworld design like in Star Ocean 2. It's a good compromise between sense of scale and interactivity with the world.

That's no excuse. The results are still the same. They still voted for it by abstaining. It's better to rip that bandaid off now and come to terms with it.

PT Cruisers are the epitome of beautiful art deco aesthetics paired with shit design choices and build quality. Just give me one with Toyota quality control and a more efficient engine/electric motor and I'll be quite happy.

 

I decided to purchase store bought ice cream after years of just buying from places like Cold Stone. It seems to me most ice cream manufacturers have very soft ice cream now despite storing it in a freezer for a week straight. I could easily drop a spoon in the tub and watch it cut straight through to the bottom. The consistency is now kind of disgusting because it feels like I'm eating whipped cream instead of something that should be semi solid. So far I've tried Tillamook, Dryer's, and Target's in house brand and they all have that same mushy texture.

Before anyone suggests it's my freezer, I've kept it relatively uncluttered and everything else stays frozen just fine. I also make sure not to purchase those tubs of "Frozen Dairy Dessert". What happened? Is this some cost cutting measure or are customer's preferences really going to extremely soft textures?

 

It sounds way less offensive to those who decry the original terminology's problematic roots but still keeps its meaning intact.

 

I'm pretty sure they would. It's not like they'd like to see their seaside properties go underwater within their lifetimes.

 

Hi all, I've recently switched over to Linux Mint from Windows 10 and I'm having trouble installing a CH340 driver from Sparkfun. I've managed to unzip the contents and have it in this location: /home/user/Downloads/CH341SER_LINUX. I've tried running the files using the ./ command for both the ch34x.c and Makefile but ran into a bash issue which I'm stuck trying to figure out. Could someone please tell me how to make it work? I've already looked up a couple of different videos on Youtube but they kind of skip the explanation of how to install this driver on Linux in favor of Windows and MacOS.

Please see the attached image for the response I get in the terminal.

UPDATE: It turns out I had a bad micro USB cable. Most of the ones I was using to connect to an ESP32 board were charge only. Mint apparently had the driver for this all along. Thanks for the help everyone.
