It's a safety procedure: if equipment is faulty, you lock the controls with a special device to render it unusable until it is serviced, and a tag accompanies the lock to show when the service call was placed. If locking is impossible, just the tag will suffice.

I gotta start using that!
I love what you said about believing in agency: knowing what power is ultimately in our hands would change the world for the better.
German politics and energy consumption aside, I think they have the best base of knowledge for what your proposed economic model has in store for them and their allies.

Don't shitpost on good discussion please.
Very similar experience in 2012ish, definitely had a rough time of it. That's when I learned I have a deadly allergy to penicillin.

If you're looking for a TTRPG and not wanting to worry about the lfg hassle, check out Ironsworn! Grimdark low fantasy, playable in solo or co-op. Just takes some getting used to, and reading lots of player advice, but playing solo become very easy if you already have that rpg brain leading the way. Also free materials online, but I bought the core rules and the "dungeon" expansion hardcopies for about $50 (USD).
I've since converted a couple of things and am solo playing to beef up the plot of a book I'm writing in a world I've been working on for about 5 years. Makes that process engaging for the gamer side of me!

Seems all too apropos in this context.
I'm reading the Cradle series by Will Wight. Some great progression fantasy, currently on book 5, Ghostlight.
