Other 4: Her husband, Jay-Z, was the first musician to become a billionaire on Forbes’s list in 2019. Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen and Taylor Swift have also achieved the elite status.

Note earlier comment about Springsteen claiming overestimate.

Is it working?

I think just a lot of people like me who had heard of the person but had no awareness of her issues. She was a famous actress in the 1950s-1960s which was way before most of us were around, or at least paying attention. After that, she may have made some noise in France but I don’t remember much of it reaching here. I probably would have mentioned it if I knew about or remembered it.

Anyway, the point of being a sex bomb is that nobody dares disagree with you about anything since it would ruin their chance of getting a date (not that any of us had a chance anyway, even if we were around back then). So you can be as evil as you want and still get unlimited attention and deference. It must be nice. We see that with some show biz types in the present day too, and similarly with some ultra rich dudes.

Ah thanks, I didn’t really know anything about her. But, I can’t get upset if someone got a bit mush-headed at age 91.

Well no, the whole point of the news event was the supposedly real emergency. Autoland has worked in testing and training for yearrs. This time it was basically credited with saving humans, but it didn’t do that. Instead it surfaced a bug in its own progamming, it sounds like.

My buddy’s folding Samsung phone is really cool and you might look into it. It unfolds to a single screen of maybe 10" diagonal and square perspective. I think for full page PDFs though, I need something bigger so I’ve given up on pocketability.

I’m still looking for a good answer myself! There are lots of possibilities but all have drawbacks from my perspective. I guess the 13" Onyx Boox sounds nice if you don’t mind the cost. I haven’t tried it though. Same with the 14" TCL Android tablet if you don’t mind Android.

This? https://pine64.org/devices/pinetab/

It’s just 10" and looks like an old design. Micro USB, oops. The Inkplate is 10" ESP32 epaper so it uses very little power. Alternatively there are tablet-style x86 laptops and I almost bought one last year. Now the price is way up due to DRAM shortages and so on, oops. I have some scrounged HDMI monitors so I want to try using one in portrait mode with my raspberry pi 400. If that works I could see getting one of the Waveshare dual screen monitors and maybe a Pi 500+.

Oh hmm, I just use my phone for that. It doesn’t seem worth having an additional, limited purpose device. I assume a 7" e-reader is too big for a pocket.

The Inkplate 10 isn’t pocketable but it’s very light, easy to put in your backpack or whatever. I just wish they had a 13" version. The 13" Ipad Air is really very nice if you don’t mind Apple products.

There are also some folding phones now with largish screens. A buddy of mine has one and it’s nice. Too expensive for me though, and it’s more Android.

Um lol no. I could see using a pair of Inkplate 10’s connected by (at least metaphorical)) duct tape. Doesn’t seem worth mucking with special hardware.

Every affordable e-reader I know of is simply too small though. I mostly want to read stuff like ArXiV preprints (A4 sized pdf’s) so would want at least a 13" screen. Someone a few days ago posted a link to a 14" Android tablet with a semi-reflective display at around $300. It seemed interesting but I’d rather degoogle.

There are some hinged Waveshare displays that look nice but they are regular TFT displays so wouldn’t be great for a portable e-reader with long battery time:

No way to know for sure but the article makes the theory sound somewhat persuasive.

First V1agra spam and now this? Article is interesting.

It sounds like CBS’s controversial new boss censored it, rather than the DHS.

So has anyone here watched it? Other than Streisand effect, is there any reason for the fuss?

The news is that this is a pill rather than an injection.

“Trump administration halts offshore wind projects from Virginia to New England, in major blow to clean power”

I didn’t know Beavis and Butthead were still on the air.

I’m sure it’s been scraped plenty of times by AI companies who are doing way more damage.

I was sort of interested in a Kei electric minivan for a while. The size is fine, they are cheap, and if you don’t drive much they need no fuel or electricity. You can put enough solar panels on the roof that the van self-recharges in the parking lot enough for a few local grocery runs per week or that sort of thing. Top speed is just 40mph though. It would be great as a 2nd car but with just one, I needed something freeway capable.

I thought Zillow stopped including that info a few months ago.
