Saving Private Ryan is my pick but just to add something new to the conversation I’ll add Catch Me if You Can for one of the best illustrated opening credits.

Mike Locksley, MD head coach, was the OC at Bama and recruited Taulia. I just assumed he went to MD with him based on the relationship.

After using a few, ultra.cc gets my vote. Never tried GigaBox so I can’t speak to them.

My guess would be aTm

It isn’t the easiest thing, so many reviews are just self promotion. There are some forums and discords that are pretty reliable with good discussion but it’s mostly trial and error to find one that works well for you.

Instrumental music, usually film scores or video game soundtracks.

Have you listened to the Magic 2.0 series? I’d think this fits nicely with you interests.

I think Phillip Seymour Hoffman was all CGI in the last Hunger Games movie.

If you want something more turn-key, go for a Synology box. Go for something with at least 2 drives like a DS220j for less than $200 or the slightly better DS223 for about $250. Just pop whatever drives you want in there, I’d suggest server-grade, NAS drives or SSD for better reliability. Setting this up to work with Time Machine is very easy and there are tons of walkthroughs online for setting that up.

For a more DIY approach, you can build a TrueNAS box (formerly FreeNAS). Tons of tutorials you can follow online that will tell you everything you need to go this route.

One thing to note, a NAS will only be available on your home network without additional configuration. TailScale is my recommendation if this is something you want to do.

If you aren’t already, you may want to use a solid state external drive or be sure that your router it allows the hard drive the sleep. I killed 3 external drives by doing this before I realized what the issue was.

I have mixed feelings about this one… I’m willing to try on other things for size but no promises

I’m not sure if it’s properly tested but we have a rear seat system for him, he was just such a good boy I let him sit in the front for a little bit on some back roads.
