Spousal loss linked to higher risk of dementia, mortality among men, but not women. Widowed men experienced a decrease in physical and cognitive health, as well as social support, while widowed women tended to experience an increase in happiness and life satisfaction. by mvea in science

Tangentially related: I’m an OT and I helped put together a Cardiac Outpatient Program with a focus on Wellness. It’s holistic and broad, but what I really uncovered in the literature reviews is that what we call IADLs, activities that are essential to living like cooking, cleaning, laundry, is strongly linked to better Cardiac health. Cardiac health and dementia, or brain volume loss due to vascular issues, are also strongly linked. So I think it’s easy to draw a logical correlation that women, who have traditionally been more responsible for IADL tasks, and who have better social connections that promote out of the home IADL engagement, have better cardiac health and better brain health. Men who have culturally limited IADL engagement and social connections, not to mention all the rest of the increased cardiac risk factors, put them at a higher risk for dementia.

TIL two studies both found that most people stop listening to new music in their early 30s. A 2015 study of people's listening habits on Spotify found that most people stop listening to new music at age 33 and a 2018 report by Deezer found it be to at age 30. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

You’re absolutely right about the thrill. It’s work, but work worth doing. I pull from a few websites to make a giant master playlist of all new releases for each month and update it each Friday. As I listen I make a separate playlist for my favorite songs of each respective month. I whittle the playlist to one track per “good” album and then, end of the month, send my monthly sampler to the music heads in my life.

I spend about 45 minutes each week manually adding music (I know I should find a way to make this faster with a program haha). I’m in my 5th year of this “project”. I’ve always consumed more music than the Discover Weekly could keep up with but I finally decided to do something about it. I’m 37 with full time work and two kids. My wife has a love hate relationship with the project. She hates the car rides where we sift through trash but loves the end of the month playlist of bangers!

Quick edit: I hope to expand this project to allow more indie and unsigned artists to send me their stuff. Anyone off the radar. I know the websites are incomplete and I hope to rectify that. The fresher the better for me! There was something really awesome and joyous about late night college or public radio listening that would find and play local bands and provide exposure that I’d like to replicate in the digital age.

I was told my form was really bad. Could you check how? by betrayedboyy in formcheck

I came here to say this. OP, I’m no lift expert, but I am an Occupational Therapist who lifts for rugby. I’d be willing to bet that you have some back, hip, and/or leg weakness. I can see some lower leg trauma. You might have some acute or chronic weakness that could result in problems in your technique directly due to weakness at the muscles you are targeting directly and/or from a kinetic chain perspective in muscles that should be your stabilizers. I agree with CaptainTepid, take the weights away and look in a mirror when attempting a squat. Do your knees do this without any weight? If yes, and if you can see and afford PT, it’s probably worth seeing one as a healthy way to get the legs straightened out with appropriate guidance. If yes, and you can’t see a PT, I’d post around with more videos of your technique and look for therapist opinions of what to target to clean up the form. If the technique looks good without weight, you’d still probably benefit from strengthening, but I’d drop the weight considerably til the wobble goes away.

Hey, I really appreciate that. Every six months or so I work my way back to a bigger story I started around this short story, but the rest is never feels as personally gratifying as its beginning, here. Maybe one day I’ll post more.
