[elimdiet] Reintroducing dairy

So I'm self-managing the rest of the elimination diet for now.  I looked up online about techniques for reintroducing dairy.   They involve drinking an absurdly small amount of milk (about 1/4 cup) each day and gradually increasing the amount.  

I've been trying to continue to change only one variable at a time so as to figure out what I'm allergic to.  However, it's hard to change only one variable without having a very bland diet, so I'm aiming to more generally keep a food diary and look for correlations.  

So far, the food allergies I've discovered are kind of odd ... large amounts of chocolate, quinoa(?), coconut milk (?) to name a few.  

[Ephemerisle] NASA testing

I'm used to being able to do end-to-end tests of any project before releasing it.  

However, the circumstances with Ephemerisle are preventing me from doing so.  At most I've been able to test various parts of the systems.  The various subtests seem to work quite well on their own, but even if I've completely tested the project in two or three overlapping chunks, there's no guarantee that the whole thing will work.   There are always second order effects to consider, unintended interactions etc.  

It's also getting deployed in conditions that it's never experienced.  

I've tried to design as much flexibility into the systems as possible to account for potential issues and reduce risk, but there's no guarantee.

This gives me some vague sense of what people who design satellites and space missions are up against.  They have the added problem of having to coordinate across large teams, with the ensuing communication issues that arise.  (eg, wait, that altitude for descent was in feet... I thought it was in meters!  There goes $2 billion.)

Heh.  We'll see how this goes.  I have two large art projects that I've more or less done singlehandedly, a houseboat to coordinate, and a number of small projects as well.
