Check your local laws, some states have laws that fertility preservation must be “covered” by insurance when going through treatment that could impact fertility (like starting hormones or chemo). Some healthcare providers/systems do have this down pretty smoothly and might save you some hassle. (Of course you might not be in a place that this applies, but if you are, could be a useful thing to make use of)
*Note: covered doesn’t mean free, still subject to your usual co-pay/deductible, etc.
This one exactly. But don’t lose hope, the word doesn’t really convey figuratively other than online people who mostly sound foolish trying to push buttons. It is usually used as an emphasis when someone wants to say how close to the actual literal situation things were (even if not literally the same). People who use it as “figuratively” are in decline, kind of like people that throw a fit over “moist” and as long as we keep pointing out how ridiculous they are (both moist dramatics and literal confusers) their relevance will continue to fade.
May want to read you own article before posting it…from the article at 11:35, a few minutes after the gunman entered the school…
" Three Uvalde police officers rush to the same door that the gunman used to enter, which was closed. Surveillance footage shows the officers all have pistols, and two of them have rifles. One officer has external armor, and two are wearing concealable armor."
They had armor, pistols and 2/3 had rifles.
This is a tragedy any way you slice it. There is so much gun reform that needs to happen, and police did not handle things well here. People with guns are hard situations to handle, but police handled a bad situation on a way that made it worse.
Coming from RIF (is fun), I find voyager and jerboa to work well on android.
Yeah it’s a shame because there was a time that Toms hardware was so good and often neck and neck with Anandtech in terms of great articles to read, but at some point it became more sensationalist and the line betweens tom’s guide and tom’s hardware blurred (with tom’s guide seeming to take over). There are still nuggets that are okay, but just not like it used to be.
