What do you think?

I know it is dangerous, but what the hell.
I think any ironing is extreme, but you should go for it. If I remember what some Utah photos look like, there are some great spots there for it!

I thought people weren't supposed to expect something in return. Strange sense of value-coding you have there coquette.
"Give to get" is about making sacrifices on the chess board. If it appears that there are real life meanings and parallels, well, that's just because chess is like that sometimes.

ah, so at its root, you are saying chess promotes evilness...sparing no expense to obtain ones goals.

There is also a dark side, rarely spoken about, the seedy world of unlicensed extreme ironing.
That's where the real money is made but you are up against some pretty unsavoury customers, ex librarians and the like, nasty buggers.

The use of extreme heat for delicate items like net curtains is totally uncalled for and barbaric.

Edit: If you are interested the standard training video.

Give to get for most things.
Try love: to get love you must give love.
Try respect:to get respect you must give respect.

That's not what "give to get" means.

"Give to get" is the Golden Rule: Treat people the way you wish to be treated.
