Was it intentional to kill off the Two Cents RSS feed? (Or more accurately, simply convert it to a general Lifehacker feed, which is what happened to me in Feedly.) And will it be coming back?

Shoes. I used to buy ~$50-70 dress shoes and replaced them roughly every year or so. I bought some $130-140 Eccos and got five years out of them.

Jesus Christ this is fantastic. Seriously.

I got tired of my mortgage company messing up the calculation for how much they should take. They wouldn’t take enough and then the escrow account would go negative and they’d hit me up for a lump sum to make up the difference. I asked if I could do it myself and they allowed it.

I posted some comments along these lines in a related post a few years ago. Unfortunately I’ve had to utilize this strategy a couple of times but it’s worked well. And in fact I’ve further developed it into an entire emergency strategy of spending cutbacks or funds to access if needed.

I will heartily endorse this book. It was among the first handful of personal finance books I read, back when Warren was relatively unknown. To this day in the budget tab of my financial spreadsheet, I track my budget by her 50/30/20 metric.

I would argue that in this age when almost every document is available in digital format, there’s no reason to discard anything. Ever. At least for important documents like these (routine bills like cell phone or utilities is another matter). I can easily fit my family’s entire financial life in less than a free…

Kind of a shame that his death won’t get a lot of attention outside the world of us personal finance geeks. I would submit he’s done more good for more people’s standard of living than anyone has outside of the major health/medical advances of modern times.

Not to be condescending if you already know this, but the underlying funds that most/all of Vanguard’s target date funds actually invest in are the exact same as are those in the three-fund portfolio. (The target date funds actually include a second bond fund, so four funds total, but the overall percentage of bonds…

I’m curious what you mean here by “are the Bogleheads always right?” Do you mean that this portfolio delivers superior returns to other portfolio configurations?

I can neither confirm nor deny that I missed the tag on this story entirely and didn’t realize you were talking about Macs, which I don’t use. With the cluelessness I’ve exhibited in this thread...I should be president of the United States.

Good Lord, what a fossil I am. I’ve been a dedicated Lifehacker reader for many years, and I haven’t heard of 75% of the things you listed, let alone used any of them.

A relative is a gastroenterologist and at Thanksgiving shared that she removed a marker from a rectum this year. She’ll be thrilled to hear she made the list.

Agree totally. I can’t believe it’s 2018 and we can share calendars and there’s no way to share or co-manage contacts. I’m sure there are a million other features more sophisticated users would like, but to me that one’s a real no-brainer.

Slow motion seems to reveal he/she/it got hit in the knee. So was he/she/it faking the junk shot or does it just look like the knee area from the outside of the costume while actually being someone’s balls on the inside?

Generally speaking, I would have the same reaction as you. But I like that app better than other podcast apps I’ve used, and the problem I described only started happening months after I’d used it, which suggested that some update or another was the cause. If donating for the ad-free version hadn’t solved the problem…

If you’re using the free version of Podcast Addict and notice it’s chewing up tons of data even when you set it never to do so, pay the $2.99 and get the “Podcast Addict - Donate” version. Apparently it was the ads sucking up tons of data (like 1GB+/month even when I told it not to use data) and paying turns the ads…

If someone knows how to get Fortnite on a Chromebook, I’d be forever grateful. (I mean, it would generate so many family fights in my household but at the same time my kids are pretty desperate to play it. Tradeoffs.)

Can I ask what you do?

This will be free for kids (and adults!) no matter what state you live in come September 21 thanks to the EGRRCPA...perhaps the one positive thing the Trump Administration has accomplished, but I digress.
