Surely it would work like a car warranty, where a certain level is free and you would have to pay extra for the good stuff. For example, you lose your arm in a work accident, company replaces your lost arm with arm-replacelement-mk1-TM which is equivalent-ish to a regular human arm. However, if you want top of the line arm it will cost extra and company will just pay for surgery and base arm replacement, you must cover the difference. You want anything other than the Honda civic of arms? Gotta pay that premium baby! Otherwise embrace the beige mediocraty life.

Here in Canada there are definitely de-icing/ snow removal machines used on the tracks. Large propane heaters keep switches clear of ice so they can operate. Hi-rail trucks will go ahead of trains through the mountain passes to ensure the way is clear. During particularly bad snow storms they can use machines like this to clear the snow.
The trains will also release gravel on the rail to improve braking times.
I took that as they have encountered other species before, just nothing like the creature from the Alien franchise. The term xenomorph is just used to describe any creature not found on Earth, aka aliens.
This is backed by an earlier comment made during Ripley’s hearing with the company:
Insurance attorney: Are there any species like this hostile organism on LV-426? ECA representative: No, it’s a rock. No indigenous life.
Which would indicate they have encountered other aliens, just not this Alien.
The creature was named both Alien and Xenomorph because that’s what it is, but came to define the names and took “ownership” of the names, if you will.

Other than your carrier give it for free or cheap, I don’t really see the reason why should you buy new phone. I’ve been using Redmi Note 9 for past 3 years and recently got my had on Poco F5. I don’t see the point of my ‘upgrade’. I sold it and come back to my Note 9. Gaming? Most of them are p2w or microtransaction...

I need to survive for 3 days while pooping as much as possible. I can pee as often as I like. It can take up loads of space. What food do I pack?
Please don’t ask why I need this....
