A couple of decades ago I had a siamese that could get from being perfecly still on the ground to the top of a 6"6' fridge without even touching the sides of it. Siamese are quite light and nimble tough...

I got Marvel fatigue after the second Spider-Man movie. The ones with Tobey Maguire. Never been to a movie theater for a Marvel movie after that. I've never watched any of the Star Wars TV spinoffs, except for the first two (?) episodes of Mandalorian, which a neighbor tried to get me into. I still haven't watched the last of the final movie trilogy.

I read many of those types of books in my younger days. I don't recall any that meet all of your description. Sorry. Bond Keep all things as simple as possible, but no simpler. -said someone, somewhere

I have 4 BenQ EL2870 (27.9", 3840 x 2160, built-in speakers), cost $250 each in 2022 from B+H Photo in NY. No problems. Used mostly for coding, occasional photos. BenQ changes their model numbers frequently, so you may not be able to get this exact model. I have found them to be the least expensive brand with the features I need.

That doesn't exactly look like a closed tanker truck. I suspect laws have been broken.
