True story. Am a controls engineer. I program stuff like the production processes for pharmaceuticals, F&B, etc.

I come from a time where most games were single player you couldn't pay to win. Not all games had cheat codes.

What we did have were memory/hex editors, game files, .ini stuff.

With what little instructions you could find online, you had to dig around and figure out where to find stuff and how to edit them so you got unlimited gold or super powerful equipment, etc and not crash the game at the same time.

Little did I know, this built my foundations for controls programming and troubleshooting. There are so many parallels like using memory editors is so similar to our debugging software where we want to find individual parameters that aren't behaving or communicating properly.

I'm interested to know how you believe the elderly will be cared for? Let's assume for a moment they have no issues financially supporting the elderly, but physically who is supposed to care for them? Who will make up the nurses, doctors and caretakers now that their population pyramid looks like a chicken drumstick?

The cans were changed cause the skinny cans cost less in materials to manufacture. It's all in the smaller diameter lids which are the thickest part of the can.

The price would have gone up regardless...

Lemmy is a stupid god awful name.

The first result you get on google is a dead singer. Every other search you will have him on the front page instead of what you're trying to find. Contrast this to searching for something from reddit.

I can't understand why every other fediverse name is so stupid as to be off putting to the average user.

I'm a bit confused as to what's happening in the last frame?

So many commenters are missing crucial context to this infographic.

This was released during peak covid and I mean PEAK as in June 2020, global lockdowns, high mortality rates, shortages of essentials. In case anyone has a short memory, the world as we knew it practically ground to a halt.

Not to take away anything from artists but essential in this context meant essential to the basic human needs. Health, Nutrition, Sanitation.

Not my OC. Just wanted to bring attention to a little underated comic strip. Great artwork. Different tone and topic to what's commonly posted here. Enjoy.
