I just watched an old interview with Natalie Portman on Letterman after her second movie.
She's sitting next to a Baldwin and it's really impressive when the sharpest and quickest person with the most presence in a room of entertainment professionals is a 14-year-old.
Letterman is talking to her like she's half the age she is, and, you know, like she's a Female, and she is constantly throwing the subtlest shade that flies right past him.

@LinuxWalt (@lnxw48a1) {3EB165E0-5BB1-45D2-9E7D-93B31821F864} I'd prefer something inorganic and inert, but it does seem like starch is where it's going.
There are lots of different powders, but surprisingly few in as useful a container as the J&J one.

@Thorwegian βοΈ I have here some Australian powder of unknown composition. Not sure how that's legal to sell.
It is not as good and has tiny lumps in it.

Oh! So that's why I can't find Johnson's Baby Powder anywhere anymore. They just disappeared off the shelves a few months ago and I didn't know why.
Through the years they've had recurring issues with asbestos contamination and lost several class-action lawsuits, so now they've pulled the product for good.
I haven't found a good replacement. I live in a sweaty-weather city and talcum powder has helped my life quality by a lot.

Yesterday I went to Shenzhen successfully, lessons learned. We rearranged the schedule so that kid and mom stayed a bit longer and we could visit China's second largest tower together, before they moved on further inland to visit some uncles and aunties.
Now I'll be having a bite and then I'll do my scrum certification assessment last day before the login expires. *Then* I'll hop on the HPR New Year's stream again.

Susannah McCorkle: "Why Don't We Try Staying Home?"
Music and lyrics by Cole Porter, the song was written for the 1929 musical "Fifty Million Frenchmen", but wasn't used in the finished version.
"Why don't we try staying home?
Why don't we try not to roam?
What if we threw a party or two
And asked only you and me?"

@Ed Davies Oh yeah, that happens too.
Or: How am I not following this person? Oh, it's because they migrated two times since I followed them and our two implementations together don't communicate migrations.

Around the time the previous episode of Commoflage aired, I had a conversation with another fedizen, both of us on accounts (and one server) no longer active, but the conversation is preserved on a third server. π
The thread started by mentioning "Skypeople" by Jeroen Tel & LMan, a cute little tune made of triangle-wave variations on the Skype ring signal.

It's been five years, but the moment I saw the name of the podcast in my feeds, the intro jingle started playing in my head. π₯°
