HabitRPG dailies

I've been very cautious with setting up daily resolutions on habit rpg because the punishment is a really crappy way to learn. Several friends have used NO dailies and I think that's wise. Or rather, I like developing streaks, I'm not sure about taking damage -- that makes sense, but is very dispiriting, rewards are generally better!

But I did use them for things I know I CAN do every day, but have had difficulty actually motivating me to do, such as a regular morning routine when I don't skip half of it most of the time. After a week and a half, that's gone very well -- I have fulfilled them basically every day with no angst. Go me!

But one has been very difficult, "take a lunch hour less than an hour". I knew I sometimes ran over, trying to fit in too many things, trying to reply to some emails, etc, trying to do shopping, go for a walk, play some Ingress, write a blog post, etc... when really "eat lunch, say hi to people, stretch legs and rest eyes for 20 minutes" is about all I usually have time for. But I hadn't realised that had been almost EVERY day. It's not been a big problem as long as I work the rest of the time, but I think I need to stop pretending that trying to fit things in isn't distracting, and find things I can do to relax that don't involve "and I'll just do one more thing"...

Octopus plural

I thought this was settled in my mind but now I looked up Octopus plural on the internet again and this time it says Linnaeus made it up we can use whatever plural we like and "octopi" has been common since the beginning even if it wasn't grammatically faithful at the time...?

Maybe we should ban saying any of "octopuses" "octopi" and "octopodes" are any more correct than each other and let people use whichever they like??

Is there any way to get people to reply to theology posts, except by including incorrect plurals? :)
