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

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 (five years ago) link
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.

Co-inventor of the handheld calculator:

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.

It never hurts to be reminded that specificity is the watchword when it comes to penis injections. 'A substance' could be 18 fluid ounces of tartar sauce for all you know.
