Asking your local library to acquire a copy might sting a little less, even if they do purchase it through Amazon.

What is radio but an unending mix of songs?!

Here are two of the radio stations I listen to, it’s great for discoverability.

SomaFM - Vaporwaves is an ad free station from San Francisco. I own the T-Shirt!

Nightwave Plaza is great. I find they tend to have slightly more global vaporwave artist picks. They also have a Discord!

AND THAT’S NUMBERWANG! Time to spin the tapestry!

You′re walking in the woods

There’s no one around and your phone is dead

Out of the corner of your eye, you spot them

(Written in Rust)

They’re following you, about 30 feet back

They get down on all fours and break into a sprint

They’re gaining on you

“Written in Rust!”

You’re looking for your car but you′re all turned around

They’re almost upon you now

And you can see there’s blood on their face

My God, there′s blood everywhere!

Running for your life (from writing in Rust!)

They’re compiling a knife (it′s written in Rust!)

Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

Surely this one last permutation…

Don’t worry, if the bridge breaks there are two backup bridges conveniently located close by!

Alligators steal hats all the time?

Just put Dot as GM, she can keep the brothers in line.

There are a couple ‘Other - Please Specify’ fields I definitely filled out with ‘Do not do AI’.

I get the joke, but with no prior context it’s kind of a jerk move to assume the player already opened it if they asked for a perception OR an investigation. A Mimic would normally just ambush you OR attack when the player opens them. If it was opened it’s probably already attacking, and if it was closed then performing a perception shouldn’t cause initiative until rolled (if the mimic noticed you noticing it, for instance).

I’ll…I’ll crawl back into my dingy nerd tavern now…

Ah, this looks like it’s a snap to use.

Supply chains are literally chains of suppliers, e.g. vendors. Your ‘simplest electronic product’ could absolutely be constrained by whom you choose to work with.

If your vendor locks you into buying from a certain source, and their vendor requires the same, and so on up the chain, how would you describe that dynamic to differentiate from a single vendor being the point of restriction?

To your point that the phrase didn’t exist, here are three supply-chain oriented papers that directly reference the phrase: This paper is exploring the social dynamics of buyers and sellers:

Lock-in situations in supply chains: A social exchange theoretic study of sourcing arrangements

Specifically, we believe that the examination of lock-in situations between a manufacturer and its supplier, i.e., instances where for all intent and purposes, one party is heavily dependent upon the other party, with few alternatives, under social exchange theory, can provide new insights into controlled self-interest behaviors (e.g., strategies) in on-going supply chain relationships.

This paper is about supply chains in plastic management, but the phrase is here:

Business models and sustainable plastic management: A systematic review of the literature

Barriers frequently mentioned were high costs, complexity of new systems, supply chain lock-in and low customer buy-in.

And here’s a paper about optimizing your supply chain where it is referenced as something to avoid:

Orchestrating cradle-to-cradle innovation across the value chain

This one even has a handy definition:

Supply chain lock-in:

Contracts and strong dependencies with suppliers not supporting circularity (e.g., either due to non-willingness or lock-in in production facilities optimized for linear concepts). 

I suppose if you would like to be super extra pendantic Wikipedia does have you covered with “Collective Monopolistic Vendor Lock-in”.
