Watched a video recently talking about the two day rule of doing the habit so that you never miss two days in a row. This seems like an interesting idea as it allows for a one off fall off the wagon event. Is there a way of achieving this with Beeminder?

I think giving your goal a rate of 0.5 per day and setting automatically trim safety buffer to 1 should do it, yeah?
