gollark: Though it makes the hub pointless, yes.
gollark: Well, sure, but with Technic and MultiMC that's pretty painless.
gollark: Is the common set of mods going to be a *big* one, then?
gollark: A hub would be neat, but not ultimately that *useful*.
gollark: Well, shared base modpack + some extra ones, but same principle.

  1. Opera Today review "The House of the Sun, which he subtitled a tragedia buffa. The CD booklet features a well-written essay by the composer on the creation of his opera. The inspiration for the libretto came from a tragic but bizarre news story: two older ladies were found frozen to death in their trash-filled home. Daughters of a family that had fled the Russian revolution, they had never integrated into Finnish society, and once they could no longer afford servants, they simply shut themselves away until death claimed them."
