Police said they were "called to concerns for the welfare of a man" just after 08:00 GMT. "Sadly, a 49-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The death is not being treated as suspicious and a file will be prepared for the coroner."

a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 6 March 2019 16:12 (seven years ago)

Magenta was the first person whose style I knowingly tried to copy. 1980s Madchen couldn’t have chosen a cooler style icon imo.

Madchen, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 18:19 (seven years ago)

I doubt anyone here cares, but…

I would like to very sincerely entreat you not to let this stop you (or anyone else). I don't know any of those two, but a) it is good to be prodded to research a bit outside the anglosphere, and b) the next time it could be some other relative non-celeb I actually really care about. In other words, thanks.

anatol_merklich, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 20:05 (seven years ago)

Happy to hear it. Both of those two are very much worth exploring btw, although I have no idea whether their works have been translated into English at all.

pomenitul, Wednesday, 6 March 2019 20:16 (seven years ago)

So sad to hear about Magenta. Madchen otm, she was cool af!

Co-inventor of the handheld calculator:

http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/calculator-inventor-obit-1.5044286?fbclid=IwAR1NdOBRd4GuF8-vAr4ZLOVd8DXpTjNfAdz7FAGABKaFo4xvSd_xyTf_Z-4

Getting my first calculator in the mid-'70s--I think it was a desk model, not handheld--was thrilling. (And indispensable in tandem with my MacMillan baseball encyclopedia.) I think it would have cost in the neighborhood of $50-75, which would be how much in 2019 dollars? You'd buy the same calculator today at a dollar store.
