Same. Bums me out as I've always protected my hearing, too. I can't say I was born with it, but I certainly remember having it as early as maybe elementary school. I sometimes wonder—admittedly as a medical layperson—if an ototoxic medicine is to blame.

Worf's old console was backlit by neon, actually!

I've had my 2.4 TB Photos library on external solid-state storage for six years now with no issues. Four years were via a laptop and so the drive was only connected when needed (to import photos into it or to back it up). The remaining two have been with it permanently tethered to a Mac mini. Of note is that I don't use iCloud Photos, though. Not sure how macOS would handle things if I did. If you had it always connected I bet it'd be seamless. If not, probably There Be Dragons. IIRC back in the days when I didn't have my Photos drive always connected, macOS would occasionally instantiate a fresh Photos library in ~/Pictures on the internal drive for Photo Stream (which I have turned on) photos.

Depending on your market, Sanden and Mitsubishi make air-source DHW heat pumps where the evaporator/heat source source is remote (i.e., outdoor) rather than integrated with the tank. I can't speak to Mitsubishi's line but IIRC Sanden has the DHW go straight to the outdoor unit, but then you may need freeze protection, which I think Sanden provides via heat trace. When my current water heater bites the dust, I plan on getting a Sanden, and looking in to the feasibility of making a glycol loop between the outdoor unit and an indoor "indirect" tank to eliminate the need for freeze protection.

They aren’t in all markets but there are heat pumps that use CO2 as the refrigerant that can make quite-high output water temps. They’re often used for domestic hot water. I haven’t looked too deeply in to them but IIRC they have COPs around 3–4. Sanden is one manufacturer, Mitsubishi and their Ecodan line is another.
