Sure, that's great. I'm glad it works for you - everyone should use what works. But saying your system is the best of an imperfect set of choices is silly. It's only the best at some very specific things, and is completely inappropriate/wrong for other priorities.

It's only "the best of nothing but imperfect options" if you weight privacy as absolutely the #1 most important thing, overwhelming all other considerations.

I did it and got an extra year of existing service. I used the same email address that my LastPass account is under.

Can that LastPass deal add an additional free year on top of an existing subscription? Or is it only for new signups?

I find this kind of advice to be a little ridiculous.

I just cut an extra large slice and serve the broken, piece to myself. Because it's broken, it's hard for everyone else to see that it's bigger than theirs, and I can act like I'm doing everyone a favor by taking the ugly slice.

$17,500 is the maximum sum for pre-tax 401(k), 403(b) or 457(b) plans.

I'm putting away the maximum yearly 401(k) contribution right now ($17,500) and the Roth IRA contribution ($5,500). On top of that, I put away another ~15% of my salary in liquid savings.

I always ask even if the store doesn't have a policy on refunding the difference. If they refuse, just shrug and say "okay, then I'd like to return it."

Files get a drive to drive copy using Windows Backup, automatically, every night. Files get backed up to Crashplan, automatically.

PSA: it's not a backup if your data only exists in one place.

Our 401(k) is reasonable. They contribute 3% even if you don't actually contribute anything yourself. After that, they will match 50% up to another 6% (i.e. another 3% of your salary).

Android Wear, specifically, isn't enough to get me interested.

Sure, I agree with that completely. Not every issue will be settled in one conversation... but virtually no issue will be settled without at least one conversation.

The response to the question could basically be boiled down to this line:

My incredible body teaches anatomy to college girls. Different market, I suppose.

Enjoy the city, it's just amazing. I highly recommend going to the city market. A bunch of stuff on Trip Advisor suggested that the market felt unsafe but we didn't feel like that at all - it was clean, well lit, police all over the place, and everyone very friendly.

Anyone running into any show-stopping bugs so far?

I'm not sure what this means? Sherpas live in the high altitudes, they have acclimated. What I was asking is if some people who have not acclimated might be less susceptible to altitude sickness, independent of age/shape/etc.

We were pretty paranoid about it on our first high altitude hike. I had Diamox "just in case" and we talked to each other a lot about how we were feeling... just never seemed to get any of the symptoms.
