Are you paranoid?

[Ttaskmaster]

I hope that's not how you cook the beef.

Depends how 'rare' you want it....

[Saracen]

So you're not one of these "wave a candle over it twice and it's done" types? Stick your fork in then have to chase it round the house?

[spacein_vader]

I can make it fit.
I can make anything fit - I have a welder...!!

That's what she said.

[Ttaskmaster]

That's what she said.

Saying and doing are two different things though and, unless she's Laura Kampf, I would remain expectantly skeptical...

So you're not one of these "wave a candle over it twice and it's done" types? Stick your fork in then have to chase it round the house?

If that's what you request, I'll do my best.

I will say I'm not one of those uppity chef types who insist steak is ONLY rare or medium-rare... It has several options, with good reason. I personally prefer medium-well, with heavy seasoning, toasted edges if you're good enough.
A good chef can cook. A great chef can cook however people require of him. None of this "ruining it" talk, or being outraged and refusing to acquiesce, like you're some fancy Frenchman with your own cooking programme...

No, I just regularly intercept Mr. 9000's mail. He clearly isn't yet paranoid (enough) so I'm working on an attitude adjustment. Just don't tell him or it'll ruin the surprise.

Use of VPN’s & disposable emails is the extent of my privacy protection.

Are you paranoid?

Remember it's only paranoia if they are not really all out to get you.

[Fahad78]

Everyone's threat model is different, I personally don't mind paying with cash, but would prefer not to be tracked by companies other than my bank.

Remember it's only paranoia if they are not really all out to get you.

this... is right.

but in many cases..... they are out to get us.. get us all....

so it's not paranoia... it's self protection...hunker down people

For me it depends on who 'they' are, if it was an advanced race of benign aliens who wanted to take me on an adventure then I'd be all for that, as long as they promise not to probe any of my orifices, if it was a pair of burly Russians with a penchant for soaring religious architecture then I'd be extremely worried.
