Awesome to read a study on this topic to confirm this. In school, the music teacher always said kids who play an instrument do better at math. And he would always tell us that music without passion is just math.

There are some states ( I don’t live in FL, but I doubt they offer this type of insurance) that offer Perpetual Insurance. Which is where you pay upfront for coverage, and when you no longer need coverage you’re money is returned.

It costs a lot upfront, but you save a lot in the long run. And any state that offers this type of insurance, I recommend anyone with the means to jump on it.

You’re not wrong, but there are other options.

As someone not very educated on healthcare nuance, I understand hospitals and community support is very complex. Without Doxxing myself, I live in an area with a world renowned hospital system that claims it’s a non profit. However, the city doesn’t seem to gain much from this relationship. I’ve seen other world renowned hospital system’s benefit their community greatly from programs the hospital provides. And in my area, the hospital has huge egos that stems from a history of gaining its status by experimenting on the poor POC in the area.

Rant aside, hospitals exist to support the community. But our current healthcare policies and history is rooted in discord and compromise, so we have this mess where hospitals need to make money, and many claim that they operate at a loss.

Clearly huge compensation packages are not helping the hospitals with any meaningful goals to help the community. But I don’t know how to change that. But going forward, my hope is more transparency on how hospitals actually benefit their communities.

And I’m naively optimistic in thinking that maybe that transparency will bring enough outrage to stent those compensation packages. Because that might be easier than changing healthcare through policy.

I’ve got a Beehaw account and one on Blahaj to see the defederated instances. I’m finding the interactions on Beehaw communities much more engaging than in other places. And I’m enjoying the fact the Lemmy allows the customization of your experience. So Beehaw can choose to federate with what they want. And other servers can do the same.

I don’t have any issues with having a few accounts. I’ve got more than one email account for different purposes (spam, banking, job applications and personal), and it’s not difficult to maintain accounts on different Lemmy servers. There’s nothing stopping you from making an account on every server.

I’m just one person too, whose opinion isn’t important. I don’t endlessly scrolling all day, so I’m not “running out” of new content. What I have noticed: There’s a noticeable quality improvement within Beehaw. And I appreciate that. So I personally don’t have a strong preference on what the admins/mods do about refederating.

I am deep into the Polar community. Their HRM is the gold standard with published/peer reviewed studies backing their claims. They have watches that can be love/hate compared to Garmin and other brands depending on how serious an athlete you are.

Polar has an app, Flow, which allows you to use their HRM (and other brands) without a watch. You can log all your workouts and it’ll show you all the stats and graphs you’d ever want. Polar can give you running programs and other workouts and you can write notes in the workout to record anything custom.
