Same here. I have a 5TB external that I use for TV shows and movies and run Jellyfin off of my main desktop. Obviously we're not massive consumers and don't need a huge array of tens or hundreds of TBs... What's nice about it

This makes me think of early employees in a startup that goes through an IPO or acquisition. Skill and talent get you through the door but heaps and heaps of luck lead to that event. Having personally won a (minor) startup lottery I got to

How many are born into it? If I think about the people that I personally know who are worth 8-figures or more they were each born into wealth. I wouldn't ever say that they also don't work hard and have talent, because they truly

Yep, I get mobility work in pretty much every day. Generally at night after we've eaten dinner as a family, I'll do some mobility drills and foam rolling, etc., while we're doing other activities before bedtime.
