You don't cook? I'm surprised tptacek doesn't bug you every day about starting.

  Why am I the one bugging him? mechanical_fish is the one making pie crusts with vodka.

    The frequent posters on this site end up being boiled down to bullet-point caricatures based on what I remember from their posts. I guess yours would be: * Knows lots of technical details about security and cryptosystems. * Voice of reason to balance out the usual internet opinion of "the sky is falling and its Microsoft's/Google's/Apple's/the government's fault". * Likes cooking, especially whole pigs and sous vide, although not necessarily together. * Friends with Patrick. I hadn't noticed mechanical_fish's name before, but I will now remember him as the guy who makes pie crusts with vodka.

      My stereotype as well, although I'd add * Eternal foil for cpercival on the advisability of designing encryption systems I think I've learned more during their dialogues about cryptology than I have from years of reading Bruce Schneier's blog.
