My best friend catered our Pluribus viewing to me exactly

Trigger warning for mentioned parental death. Also, spoilers for the first episode of Pluribus.
My best friend and I decided to watch Pluribus together after she watched it and loved it. She asked me ahead of time, “Would you rather I spoil things for you, warn you right before they happen, or just let you watch the whole thing?”
For context, I have PTSD from a few things, but specifically from being the only witness to my mother’s sudden death when I was fourteen. She had a blood clot on our nightly walk and collapsed.
I said to warn me right before, and we set to watching it. She paused right as the main character’s wife, Helen, started seizing and let me know that Helen would fall to the ground in a way she thought might be triggering so she offered to skip it and any other scenes showcasing her on the ground. I agreed, especially after seeing that Helen looked a lot like my mom, particularly from behind.
She had the remote right next to her the whole time and skipped every single part that was even remotely similar. She even apologized at one point for ‘not being fast enough’ when a character gasped before falling to the ground because she remembered me telling her that my mom

Being a "potential" person is something I'm sick of. In order to truly improve my life, I'm entering 66 days of Monk Mod

I've had enough of living at 20% of my capacity. I know I talk about starting a business and making money, but my lifestyle reflects something different. Every day, I’m wasting my energy on cheap dopamine and distractions.
I'm embarking on a 66-day “Transmutation” sprint, which begins as of tomorrow. All my biological energies will be funneled into my business, as posited in Napoleon Hill's philosophy. Nothing is wasted, no justifications are given.
This phenomenon is referred to as “hustle culture.” But I fear turning forty with merely “potential.” I have to fix a complex tech problem and design a functional solution. In order to make this a reality, I am publishing this. Day 1 has finally started. I reboot when I fail. I am taking back my life.

Colocation Quote - Is it as good as I think it is?

3U
360 Watts 208V
3 Outlets
/29 IPv4
350TB Bandwidth on 10Gbps Port
Overages @ $0.0025/GB
Free rack and stack
12 Month Commitment
Location LA
FREE Setup
Price: $100/m
Just need a quick sanity check as this will be my first Colocation for off-site backups and running a handful of hosted services. Usage patterns are around 100TB/month so I’m not worried about metered usage, I specifically wanted metered instead of p95 so I wasn’t charged for bursts at 10Gbps on a 1Gbps commit. I’ll be colocating a 1U firewall and a 2U server.
Any gotchas I should be keep an eye out for?
