There's nothing quite as frustrating as loosing photos and footage before it's been ingested. Always use name brand media and always duplicate it asap. Ask me how I know.

We don't know what we don't know and that's okay. Actually I think it's exciting, there are new understandings of the things around us that are just waiting to be discovered. It can certainly be scary too, being the first one to explore a new field alone and in the dark.
So this is my setup, and it's pretty cost effective. I have two 2Tb HDDs that are striped and one 500Gb SSD that's alone. The games I play the most live on my SSD, any games I'm not really playing live on the HDD. Then I just move my games from one to another. I didn't even have the second HDD for the longest time. I don't bother with using the SSD as a cache anymore. There is no advantage in gameplay to striping a game, however updates and moves are faster.
You like, believe that you can though man. That's like belief is fact, man. /S
No you can't go home again, but you can make a new home.
In no way, shape, or form am I an expert in martial arts or combat. I would imagine however it depends on the situation. An army with spears and an individual with a spear are two very different things. Armys equipped with swords vs spears, spears win. Individuals fighting with a sword and a spear probably comes down to individual skill more than the specific weapon.
I get that the picture is more art than an actual representation of anything. With that said even as art The Matrix in my opinion doesn't really fit there. Like it's entirely within the bounds of The Handmaid's Tale so keeping with the Ven Diagram aesthetic with artistic license it means that The Matrix is most like The Handmaid's tale, which isn't not. The Handmaid's Tale is a feminist story about the domination of women in society, The Matrix is a philosophical exploration of the questions what is real and do we have free choice.
Maybe the argument could be made they're both about choice but that feels hollow. Maybe put The Hunger Games there I'm definitely over thinking this.
Also write that password down somewhere in case you pass away in an accident or whatever. If you can afford it, a safety deposit box is great just because it can't get lost but is also wayyyyyy overkill.
I've had extended family members declare bankruptcy several times and they're still approved for a credit card. Whereas I have never missed a credit payment in my life have a hard time getting a line of credit. I don't get it, the system is broken.
I've been rewatching it and besides Corporal Klinger's ongoing cross dressing gag being overly transphobic it's still pretty good. Plus they got him out of drag eventually and even manages to be trans-sensitive, for the time. Still completely unacceptable these days but it was a very different time. I think it also shows how far we've grown.
It's great that you have found a way to make your work fulfilling but unfortunately for a lot of people the daily grind is a matter of survival and isn't optional. If your only material riches are cheap food and a roof over your head are in jeopardy, you'll begin to care about them real quick.
Would have been nice at the time, but unfortunately wasn't affordable yet.
