It would help to know why you want to signal your wealthy status- because if it's something like "have better success while asking people out" the answers are very different than if it's "be treated better normally."

Hmm... One way to approach this would be, instead of looking for examples of people trying to signal, try to get inside the heads of your target impressee. What would really, genuinely impress the sort of person you're trying to impress? What would impress you?

I imagine, for example, that someone who knows a lot about wine, or is conversant in the pros and cons of the driver experience in luxury cars, is clearly signalling a lot of leisure time and resources to pursue the habit, and I'd be more impressed by that person than by someone who simply brags about the expensive car or wine they just bought. Of course, that kind of approach may work on a limited range of people; you'd want to pick a domain that your impressees know enough about to recognize a real connoisseur.

Signaling your wealth is likely to be socially advantageous, but may also bring with it the expectation that you will spend your money freely, which you would consider wasteful. Is it possible, even, that the status boost you are seeking is associated more with spending money than with having money?

Here's one way to phrase the question:

What can I purchase which is in fact inexpensive, yet gives the impression of being, or is commonly thought to be, very expensive?

It seems plausible that the list of expensive-seeming things and the list of fairly inexpensive things might have some points in common. The main question would be how to figure out what they are, and which ones actually suit your taste.

Have you considered making a FAI on a computer that includes a cereal port?

Simplified nutrition problems are usually given for examples of constrained optimization, and there's no reason in principle you can't use the techniques to decide what to have for breakfast. To this extent, once you've examined the evidence on various nutritional philosophies and perhaps self-experimented with your diet a bit, it's a matter of deciding on the end goals your breakfast is in support of, as Hurt said. Because the evidence on nutrition can be somewhat scrambled, performing these tasks with eggcellence is easier said than done.

Perhaps you're also asking the wrong question -- should you, in fact, have formal meals such as breakfast? There are some who advocate eating as hungry, and not at set times. Food for thought.

Good factors to consider would be what's available, what is least costly (depending on your budget), and what provides optimal nutrition. Combining multiple food groups is probably a good idea.

This is a good illustration of why we shouldn't always hold off on proposing solutions. Have some Cornflakes and spend your time thinking about something more important.

Treat this simply as evidence rather than a solution to anything: I have personally found free Wordpress blogs to be very simple, customizable, aesthetically pleasant.

There are multiple areas of research needed for brain-robot integration.

Ranking in order of importance from my point of view

1. Artificial organs etc. for life support.

At this point you have a brain in a jar.

1. Sensory input (even if you're keeping the eyes you'll want propioception, and some sensitivity to damage)

At this point you've got a brain in a jar that can see.

1. Output connections (allowing the brain to control, for example, speakers, or a word processor)

Now you have a brain in a jar that can talk; and probably browse the web.

1. Artificial limbs

After which you've got a full-on cyborg.

Maybe it goes like this: For most people, death is considered to be final and unescapable. Cryonics is thought of closely related to death. Thus cryonics' promise to bring people back from freezing is seen with a much higher level of scepticism than warranted.

A person who founded a stabilization organization in Europe has recently admitted to associations with a vampire group and a satanist group. Does this kind of thing harm cryonics publicly perceived credibility? Or does it draw useful attention to it?

Fix'd.
