Surgical tubing can be wrapped around uneven surfaces and will provide a lot of pressure. I’ve seen it used in guitar repair. Works well on lotsa stuff. Might need dowel pins or maybe nails/screws to stabilize.

You’re missing the point. Yes, of course if you have the cash or credit you will buy your insulan rather than dieing. Some people don’t have it and will try to do without and some of them will die. The fact is, morally, it shouldn’t be an issue at all.

The second is watchable but is worse as an adaption.

The events in the first book are concluded in it. It’s not a trilogy adaption of Dune the book. Many of the characters have their actions and motivations swapped onto other characters. The ending changes some significant points. Feels like the third movie might end up being a freestyle attempt to start a “Dune Universe” IP rather than caring about the source material.

It’s kind of a mess but still fun in some bits. Not sure if I’ll bother to watch the third when it comes out.

There’s an official conspracy theory?
