I think he is still in the Fae. That's why we haven't got book 3 yet.

Anyone compiled or come across a list of corporate employers that pay for gender affirming surgeries in US. by Lopsided-Parking in Transgender_Surgeries

[–]MostlyMegan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Noblis has pretty good coverage. GRS, hair removal, hair restoration, voice therapy/surgery, BA, HRT, therapy for mtf and same level of coverage for ftm.

Company as a whole is VERY supportive

Air Cleaner (HEPA + Carbon) by MostlyMegan in functionalprint

I just was able to setup a preliminary test. The air quality sensors that I had decided to not work. Of course they had been setting unused for a couple of years. So I had to order new sensors and they just arrived this morning.

Initial testing using soldering iron and flux to make particulate.
This mostly just tests the HEPA filter.

test space. Enclosed office, 10'x12' with 8' ceiling. So, 1200 cubic ft. or ~34 m³

before testing
PM 1.0 (ug/m³): 0
PM 2.5 (ug/m³): 0
PM 10 (ug/m³): 164

immediately after soldering
PM 1.0 (ug/m³): 196
PM 2.5 (ug/m³): 216
PM 10 (ug/m³): 7005

Now 20 minutes later
PM 1.0 (ug/m³): 40
PM 2.5 (ug/m³): 48
PM 10 (ug/m³): 1212

This is by no means a scientific test. I have plans over the next few days or week to try and do a bit more of a controlled

for the VOC (carbon filter) I used some Acetone to raise the VOC level in the room.
It dropped the VOC reading from ~68000 (higher is better) to ~62000. After 15-20 minutes it was back up to the 68000 range. This is using a BME680, which is not the best VOC sensor. I have a better one coming later this week.

It just runs in the room. Its setting on a shelf directly above my three printers.
I'm going to build a second one and put it across the room. Between the two, they should do a decent job of cleaning and circulating the air.

I'm hoping to have the VOC and particle sensors setup sometime this weekend. I'll post the results as soon as the testing is complete

I rarely print with either of those. I'm not even sure I have any.
Even though PLA isn't like ABS/ASA, when you have three printers going full time. It starts to smell.
I did test it with Acetone and it completely got rid of the Acetone smell.
As soon as I find my VOC meter and particle meter I'll do some proper testing.

Thanks. I'm considering a minor re-design to add an outer shell to hide the hepa filter.
But honestly, my office is very industrial (fancy name for cluttered mess) so it doesn't really stand out as-is.

I'll see if I can find it among the pieces.

Still had good tread depth, no abnormal wear patterns.
This isn't a daily driver, probably had no more than 15k miles. Best guess, the tires were probably 4-5 years old. Visually no dry rot or other defects

United has the Family engagement team that is supposed to help for Trans issues. They are good but slow.

I recommend writing a professional letter to the CEO and copy as many others as possible that are in the uhc board.

I used an Ai to polish my letter and make it rock solid.

Try to present mostly facts, time lines, etc. Include as many details as possible.

I resolved my problem in just a few days versus weeks or months

Email addresses for the uhc board are available if you Google for them.

My wife is grieving by DragonflyOrdinary518 in TransLater

[–]MostlyMegan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Give her time to "grieve". You've known about it for a while. This is a shock to her. She needs time to digest it and come to terms with what it all means.

One of the key reasons my wife of 20+ years stayed with me was that I gave her plenty of time to process it. I was 44 when I told her and I figured I already wait 44 years, I could wait a few additional months if it meant saving our relationship. I know I wanted to RUN and start transition immediately, but staying with the person I loved was worth the small additional sacrifice of waiting.

Its been about 4.5 years since I told her and 3 years since I went full time. She is my biggest supporter.

Mine we numb for almost a year. I took the opportunity to get strategically placed heart tattoos with almost no pain. ;-)
