Alex Minsky

Alex Minsky is a retired Marine corporal turned model. At the beginning of his first tour of Afghanistan in 2009, his Humvee hit a roadside bomb and his right leg was amputated. He spent 47 days in a coma with a traumatic brain injury and 17 months in total in a hospital. After his brother died from a drug overdose, he entered a 23-month period of alcohol abuse, and to get out of it, he turned to physical fitness. It was during one of his routine workouts that he was approached by a fashion photographer named Tom Cullis.[1] However, his career didn't start to take off until he was photographed nearly nude by the Los Angeles photographer Michael Stokes.[2]

gollark: Exactly!
gollark: The solar panels are just multiblocks which sit there making arbitrary amounts of power for no particular reason. There's a void *resource* miner which is just the void ore miner but for grass and obsidian and stuff, which is also a boring way to avoid making any production for diverse arbitrary resources you might need but is also required for the ET stuff because it makes "mica".
gollark: The advanced ones are an add-on.
gollark: The pack's overall tiers at least require fairly diverse things on each tier. The inscribers would, if I cared about that, be interesting to automate through ME subnetting and such. Thermal Expansion has fairly weak gating (internally) behind hardened glass stuff.
gollark: It's not that it's annoying. It's that it's really bland and uninteresting.
