My initial thought upon leaving DUNC2 tonight was that Dennis Villeneuve would probably do good adapting the Broken Earth trilogy, and I don’t know what that says about me or about the movie

Can maybe extend it out another book or two while accepting a certain level of weird but books four and beyond are just cuckoo bananas bizarro literature.

Yeah just rewrite the bit to give closure and just let it end cleanly. There are so many good stopping points that you could pivot to.

Opinions vary on just where the Dune books stop being worth reading, but I've never heard anyone say "just push through the bad one(s) and it gets good again."

It wasn't exactly high-brow, but I liked the stuff his son (?) did about the Butlerian Jihad. Don't think it counts for this though cause it was like 40 years later and, yeah, for ol' Herbert senior it started high, went off a cliff and crashed to the ground as time went on.

I think we could squeeze Leto II's worm shenanigans into two decent and weird movies. There's a ton of fluff to get rid of, but a Miles Teg flick would be cool.

I'd like to give a big thanks to forums poster tiny for sending me a lockpicking kit a couple years ago. I got my dad's old truck and he forgot to give me the key to the hitch lock. Popped that bad boy in like 10 seconds.

You know how sometimes, as you're sitting there, watching a movie and drinking your drink, you start reflecting on the opportunities that passed you by? Feel that twang of sorrow at the knowledge that they'll never come again? Yeah, I'll never not be butthurt that I didn't bid on any of the Fury Road cars.

Popped that bad boy in like 10 seconds. I can't remember why I did it, I think my roommate and I got them on a lark from Amazon early on in deployment. Oddly satisfying and occasionally useful! My crowning achievment was popping the lock in my Mazda B2200 with a coat hanger I happened to have sitting in the bed? I didn't put the coat hanger there. But there it was. There was a guy sitting in the loading dock next door that offered me 20 bucks if I could pull it off again.

Lockpicking was a hobby I cultivated during the pandemic. If you really get bit by the bug, you'll start watching Deviant Ollam videos about physical security/penetration testing and then you're down a very deep and fun rabbit hole. Syrian Lannister posted:I have a Sparrows kit that I need to start goofing around with. MasterLock Model 1 and 3 are very easy to learn on, same with their 140 and 141. You can learn how to single pin pick (what everyone thinks of when they hear "lockpicking") and learn how to rake and do bypasses as well. Sparrows, ITS Tactical and tons of other vendors also sell repinnable practice locks that you can learn on as well.
