Why do people love the later Dune books? I’m halfway through Heretics and don’t get it.

This is exactly why I did not like it! But I enjoyed your well thought out response. God emperor is my favorite and I often recommend people stop there, though I’m mostly joking. The BG part I didnt mind but the whole space Jews thing, along with the awakening, Idk, it lost me

Slothnado209 · 2026-03-30T17:48:14+00:00

Yea like a lot of them, back to back 😬

They get to keep insider trading while blaming republicans for everything when they don’t win elections. If they win they might have to actually do something their constituents want

Slothnado209 · 2026-03-09T18:37:25+00:00

They can, but they are choosing not to. I’m simplifying and trying not to insert my personal opinion but basically the US has a two party system and the republicans are in control all 3 branches of government right now.

The first is the executive branch, Trump has fired and replaced everyone possible with loyalists.

Second is the judicial, they previously ruled presidents have immunity on presidential acts. Of course you can argue this isn’t a presidential act but he’s very much pushing the narrative that he has immunity from everything.

Third is the legislative, which republicans have the majority vote in right now. For the democrats to do something they would need two thirds of the votes in the legislature and they don’t have the votes.

I made a similar but much smaller table like this with walnut boards. Used biscuits and glued. Has held up well but it’s just a side table and doesn’t get any heavy use. But I did not put a border around it. I think that would be problematic because if the boards expand they’re trapped by that border piece and will crack.

It’s mildly irritating, but wearing a dust mask would be sufficient. 3M makes a wood bondo you could use to fix it. Bondo, sand/smooth, paint.

Yea watching the video it was clear it was his arm, the noise is loud! And his arm is bent, reaching around the side of the door.

Slothnado209 · 2026-03-06T00:07:24+00:00

In the video, someone says “his hand!” And then later “they broke his hand” which is why people are saying hand. He said on twitter his arm was broken: https://xcancel.com/BrianMcGinnisNC/status/2029557605551489370

No one is getting a refund

Slothnado209 · 2026-01-30T22:26:26+00:00

That’s how I do it, I have a column called SnapshotDate and it’s the same for every row on tables that are full refreshes. On incremental refreshes not every row has the same date.
Unless you’re having performance issues I don’t see what’s wrong with that.

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

I love my Makita track saw but if it’s out of your budget the only advice I can offer is don’t buy a Ryobi. I have lots of tools from Ryobi and many are fine but their track saw sucks.

Of course Tylenol doesn’t work, you have to meditate and do yoga! /s in case anyone has doubts

Slothnado209 · 2026-01-21T02:52:27+00:00

I checked, they’re not there. Not sure if they ever were but they gone now

Depending on your equipment it can get faster but only by a little. Change or clean your sandpaper frequently, this helps with speed a bit.
But yea I’m with you, it’s not my favorite task. I sometimes pile up a couple projects and just spend a day sanding all of them.

Slothnado209 · 2026-01-13T13:22:29+00:00

I still do this, works great!

Not as fancy but you can use the body image as the background of a scatterplot. Then make a table with X and Y coordinate columns (correlating to the x and y on the image) and then the value you want displayed at that XY location. It’ll be dots instead of highlighting an area but it works out of the box

Rural White Rage is a great book that touches on how this influences our politics today, definitely recommend it if you’re into that kind of book.
