Trying to prove you're paranoid? I did nothing of the kind.
Telling someone that they're worrying about nothing is not an accusation of anything.
Besides, with any "mental illness", you need to go at least as far as getting a third or fourth opinion. Psychology is not a science, and if a shrink tells patients that they have a psychosis, chances are that they will develop it.

This is the statement I'm referring to. My husband read it too (i'm on a 55" screen) and came away with the same impression.
If that's not what you mean then frankly, I don't know what you meant by that.
I've already been diagnosed by several professionals, Mark. I don't need your input on how to care for myself.

When we moved to Texas, we got a house out in an unincorporated area, where you could stand on the roof and see Bell, Coryell, and Lampasas counties. VERY quiet neighborhood, each house on at least two acres, etc etc etc. I loved it.
My wife started to hate it within a year. Too far away from people, boring, etc etc etc. So we moved to Europe.
Advance the clock 10 years, and now my wife says "I understand why you don't want to live too near anyone else. I hate people. They're all idiots. We need to build a house away from the city, get away from all these #$#@$! people."

My wife's from a city of 20-odd million people (and counting), so, when we moved to a tiny town of 3,000 people, she was expecting to hate it.
Turns out that the only thing she hates about it is the few people who are a pain in the @rse (which factors out by the number of inhabitants, wherever you are).
The only reason she'd even think about moving back to a city is the availability of shops, restaurants, and stuff in general. To be around more people? Not a chance.

Tried not to reply, but..

That's agorafobia or misantropic (or a mix), not paranoia. It's paranoia when you check your wallet after the anesthetic and check the time.
..which you should not do in front of them. Trust is a nice romantic term, like wisdom; that's for idealists. I don't trust my code, I test and measure.

Buying my meat at the local farmer. So I haven't noticed anything yet.
That of course means the bacon is smoked for real instead of injected with smoke aroma.
Oh well. It could be worse I suppose.

Are you smoking it yourself?
I have got both instructions for how to build my own small smoking chamber and a nice place in my garden where I can build it. Like you, I want real smoked meat, sausages and fish! Last year, one of the Norwegian newspapers made a survey of smoked sausages, and some eighty percent were "smoked" with the smoke aroma. There are cases of "real" smoking, but they are few and far between.
I guess that your local farmer also doesn't pump a lot of water into his meat, to "make it more juicy". (Or rather, to raise the weight of the meat so that he can earn more money.) It seems like most of the meat and poultry you find in the supermarket nowadays have water added.

It's all done at the farm.
They have their own cows. And their neighbour supplies the pork.
Small scale means it doesn't taste identical all the time.
Last year the bacon started having a different taste. They were out of apple and started smoking with plum instead

Isn't that great?
With "industrially made" food that has had the same unchanged taste from the 1960s till today, you get so bored. There is never anytyhing new and exciting to it. (That is actually my greatest objection against Coke: The taste is sort of 'OK', but after fifty years, I am sort of through with it!)
Sometimes, I make food based on industrial ingredients, such as canned or dried soup. But I always add some vegetables, spices or whathaveyou of my own, so that it is different every time.

It was.
Problem is when someone great gets that reputation and can't keep up with raising demand.

Not yet. It took ages to ship, didn't leave Germany until 3rd January, then took 2 weeks to get to Cyprus, then got picked up from the post office by the wife and youngest a few days after I had arrived back in Qatar.
So it is sat in its box waiting for me to get back to Cyprus on 25th 
A tad annoying!
I believe Anycubic are also announcing new printers this week. Be interesting to see what's new.
I had a couple of issues the last few days at home with the current one, it was a lot colder and couldn't get the first layer to stick properly. It was also my first use of my red filament so don't know if that also had something to do with it. I cleaned and levelled the bed, heat cycled the ultrabase and raised the temps a bit and that seemed to help.
I am thinking of doing something like you did, to help keep temps up and also for fumes when printing abs etc.
How's yours behaving?

Brilliant on PLA, but ABS is being a PITA - I've got to get back to trying to get that to adhere properly in the next week or two (it's a low priority ATM). ABS is just curving and lifting even with a 110C bed / 230C extruder at half speed. and that turns the whole print to a rats nest of fine black wire ...

You'll have to try the various tricks;
Hairspray on the bed
Pritt stick on the bed
Blue painters masking tape on the bed
Abs and acetone mix applied to the bed

These things sound awesome though. You two make me want one. I don't know what I'd do with it though - probably print body armor for my cats or something weird like that.

What, like this: CAT ARMOR by PrintThatThing[^]
That's pretty mainstream, these days ... you'd be surprised what people will print
