Three random things time!

--

I found the Guinness World Records YouTube channel.  Some are decent; a lot are stupid.  I, naturally, played them for like 5 hours today, while Josh grumbled about the lowered standards of today's Guinness World Records something standards something.

X: *after 15 similar videos*  Crushing eggs with toes in one minute!
J: razzafrackin gargabarga nchlbnchl gnrrrr
X: Oh oh, how about number of [ballet twirls] someone can do in 30 seconds!  Boys versus girls!
Video: *dumb fuckin' stereotypical gotdam jokes, yarr*
J: SO DUMB AAAA
X: Here's one, on drinking Tabasco sauce in one minute!  Sez here this is the first time this has ever been done!
J: THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S STUPID
X: Oh wait, here's one: something about making the longest BMX jump.
J: ...that sounds not bad.
X: "(male)".
J: *the heaviest of sighs*
X: *cracks up*
J: It's machinery!!

Later:

J: *swears a lot*
X: Josh, I have never loved you so hard.
J: I hate you.
X: *cracks up*
J: With fire!
X: *can't breathe; laughing*
J: *flails*

The physical reasons I tend to dislike food and eating it:

1: I have a blandish and narrow sort of palate.  This makes it hard for me to really care about my food.

2: I find eating to be interruptive.  I'm hip-deep in this concept that has branched out 15 ways!  If I leave now, it'll collapse into nonsense!  Like if you're trying to pick up a stitch you dropped 15 rows ago in some lace knitting you're doing.  Except it's lunchtime, so just throw it in the corner, quite literally; I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what you were doing a minute ago!

I need some sort of electroshock "don't rewrite the system you're using while you're using it for time-sensitive stuff" feedback thing in my chair.

3: Sometimes, a weird confluence of food makes me throw up.  Like today!  Lunch was pesto and olive oil and bread, with some wine+water.  (I wanted some wine with lunch, but it was only 14:00, and I was hot besides.)  Snacks during the videoing was Tostitos.  A rogue creature in my belly flipped the "EVACUATE" switch on a dare, and yup, time to throw up.  Under-pleasant!

4: I'm lactose intolerant, and it has never quite figured out how to react to this cutting slight.  Sometimes, I'm perfectly fine.  Other times, there's abrupt TMI.  Who can say!

5: Did I mention the periodic acid reflux thing?  Where some months are mostly fine, and others feel like I am, in fact, one steel will away from throwing up?  Pro-tip: reflux-triggered emesis is just never anything like a win.

This all translates into me not really doing much with food.  At all ever.  When I can't eat things that most would call "not that harsh" and get sick to my stomach, and have that not feel like an uncommon thing for me, that's about when I stop caring about this whole "experimentation" bullus shittus.

Although that is the sad, because I really like pesto and bread and olive oil.

One day, I will discover the perfect food routine, and I will enfold it lovingly into my DNA.  It'll make it hard to travel, and I'll have to get up at the same time every day including weekends, and finding places to live may become oddly restricted, but PERFECT FOOD ROUTINE.

...I abruptly have a new goal.  And here I just wanted to go on about throwing up and how it sucks!

Please do not give me eating or cooking or food advice, unless either you know me well or you are in the advanced class of giving advice to a $topic-resistant subject who was ranting in the first place.  (I mean, it can be done, it's just not a novice-level thing.)

I did 2 things in Mediawiki:

* Upgraded from 1.14 to 1.16.
* Changed all the "move page" stuff to "rename page" stuff.  (I use Wikia a lot, and some of their changes make all the sense.)

Now, when I rename a page from A to B, all the special text is fine, except for the page title -- it instead says: <movepage> - [Wiki Name]

There's no variable in the system messages area called "movepage", just "move-page".  I didn't see anything obvious about this in the changelogs.  I have no goddamn clue how MW makes its <title> tags.

Halp?

[personal profile] rydra_wong has an awesomemazing post up here, about exercise and depression, only not the usual "if you would just exercise, you wouldn't be depressed!" nonsense.  It, plus the comments, is an amazing read.

Pro tip today.

If you can't see today's xkcd, disable Adblock.  The comic's filename is "advertising_discovery.png", and apparently a common blocky bit is "/advertising_".
