NO! No technical aids of any kind! Mental math only! The point is to exhaust them so to the point where their wage slave parents only have to drop them on their beds when they get home. If we produce a generation of mentats as a side effect, that is just a side benefit.

Okay, in my other comment I expressed my extreme doubt in the quality of this film, but I have decided that I desperately want it to be successful. Why? Because I want them to film “Dune Messiah” and “Children of Dune” with this cast. Why? Because I want to see Jason Momoa try to play a mentat. I want to see the guy…

The copyright or film rights are probably up for renewal.

The Saga of Dune is far from over.

So far this movie looks greatly inferior to the superlative SciFi channel miniseries.

We do not have the technological capacity to detect radio signals produced by extraterrestrial technology. Because of the inverse square law, radio transmissions would have to be insanely powerful to be even detectable over interstellar distances. I did the math once while bored in an orbital mechanics class. To…

Right. Plant ANY mystery seeds received from China.

I can’t think of any.

Yes! Along side the Grosser and non-AMG G-Wagon.

Most Americans are poor and can’t afford a Merc anyway. And we’re in the Trump Depression.

The problem is most kids today spend a lot of time in child care because both parents have to work. Childcare conditions kids to act out to get attention. If I ran a childcare business, kids would spend the day on treadmills while doing math problems. They’d leave physically and mentally exhausted.
