I've never seen a hard modern monitor. They do make hard plastic TV/monitor screen protectors. A nice movable mount, the handles suggested, and a screen protector might bring you close to the setup you need.

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?

I'm more interested as to why you have a cottered crank from a bicycle on your counter. It looks like it has been cusomized into a tool with a little blacksmith work. What's it do?

If you find Alex and Info Wars interesting check out the podcast "Knowledge Fight". They take deep entertaining dives into the disturbing world of Mr. Jones...

Old racist trope: The Jews run the world through the banking system and use black people as muscle to mess with poor downtrodden whitey.

Old fashioned but the same thinking exists today.

"The globalists are using the open border to implement the new world order by sneaking an army of illegals in to the US to destroy our country from within."

Old racist dogs learn no new tricks.

Low end bikes like that just don't have much value used. They are generally considered disposable. Still if it is in good ridable shape you might get $50. Some times you cant give them away... Used helmets are iffy to the buyer. You never can be certain they are in good safe condition, even if they look nice. A nice camelback might be worth more than the bike and helmet!

Nice little rabbit hole to crawl down!

That probably would! Of course a whole set of cheap cone wrenches cost less. And in some cases you need to use two cone wrenches at the same time to get an adjustment right. For you that you would need two of these $40 wrenches. Still nice to know that exists. Perfect for the occasional oddball sized cone you run across if you mess with enough wheels.

I've never seen an adjustable wrench that was thin enough to do many of those jobs. Maybe you could grind a standard one thin enough. A little tricky.
