Yeah that's act ii. If you just got there you're probably near the beginning though technically it's possible to do a bunch of other stuff first. In any case, you shouldn't find it too difficult to jump back in - just check your journal to see which quests you have in progress. And if you're considering going back to game it's definitely worth it - the story really ramps up over acts 2 & 3.

Just a note about the solar panels: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-tesla-puerto-rico-renewable-energy_n_5ca51e99e4b082d775dfec35

Musk has promised a lot of things publically over the years but for the most part it's all part of curating his image as a genius philanthropist, and the reality has almost never matched the promises.

For example, his promise up donate ventilators to help with COVID (which he himself had said at the start of the pandemic would be over in a couple of months) that ended up being not the expensive ventilators that were needed, but much cheaper CPAP machines that are fairly useless for dealing with COVID unless they're extensively modified. Oh, and then a couple of years later he accused ventilator use of killing a bunch of COVID patients and said he could've told doctors that would happen because he "builds life support systems for spaceships". Then why donate them in the first place?

There's been many other examples over the years but the point is the guy has didn't his entire career moulding the public's opinion of him, long enough I think that he began to believe his own publicity. Now he's let the mask slip enough that there's no putting it back on.

Prefer jilted generation but this has some great tunes on it.

Yeah, TBH I really haven't listened to it more than maybe, I dunno, twice in my entire life so it might not be quite as bad as I remember. I just recall thinking it sounded like a bunch of white guys in the 80's discovering rap for the first time. Kind of like Blondie's Rapture but neither charmingly dorky nor actually kind of funky like that song.

Burning Inside is my favourite Ministry song. This album also has Test which is in my opinion absolute crap. Still, the album is probably my favourite of theirs.

This is from the guy whose rocket company is being investigated by the EPA for polluting local water sources and destroying the habitat of endangered species.

As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.

Her cousin is Ben Shapiro, which is kind of wild. God he sucks.

I wonder if he ever read the 5th book, Mostly Harmless. In that book there's an aside which describes how the people of the planet Golgafrincham tricked all the useless members of their society (management consultants, etc) into thinking the planet was doomed and getting on a ship to escape the planet which they programmed to fly to another salary system and crash into one of the planets there. That part of the book always stuck with me, and more and more I wish there was a way we could do the same to Musk and his billionaire cronies.

Of course I don't think Musk has actually read any of the HHGTTG novels, especially not the 5th one so maybe there's still a chance?

The puppet's face is also based on Picardo's

It's been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

 

Regurgitator formed in Brisbane, Australia in the early 90's and released a couple of albums that have since gone on to considered classics, among many others.

Their output is extremely eclectic and all of their albums straddle a wide variety of genres, although their usual touchstones are punk, hip hop & 80's influenced electronic music.

A useful comparison in terms of their approach is Ween, as they'll often hit a genre so specifically that it verges into parody and their lyrics are often highly satirical.
