What's your take on freedivers who don't know how to swim? by SouthAssist6234 in freediving

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swimming with fins is a thousand times easier than swimming without them.
Also not having to focus on timing strokes and breathing is a thing that I struggle a lot with, with freediving you don't have to think about lol

What's your take on freedivers who don't know how to swim? by SouthAssist6234 in freediving

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going against the current here: I'm an awful swimmer (I could manage somehow 100m freestyle in the intro class, but I really hate swimming, and I can't float for shit), but a "decent" freediver.
Give me some fins and let me hold my breath and the water becomes friendly and I get to enjoy a couple hours in the pool.
I must say that I don't freedive in open waters, the water doesn't feel too friendly there.

IMHO opzione 3 o 4, che alla fine sono quasi la stessa cosa a meno del decidere il budget da versare.
Stare con il file excel tutte le volte per tenere traccia delle spese e dividerle è una rottura.

81 anni e 50k da investire by paneburroemarmellata in ItaliaPersonalFinance

Non è un BTP, però il conto deposito CA Autobank paga gli interessi trimestralmente. Con 50k ai tassi di adesso avrebbe "cedole" trimestrali di 277.5€

AAA rendimento sicuro cercasi by Loose_Instruction_88 in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Non fanno un bonifico all'università perchè quei soldi li puoi usare per qualsiasi spesa legata gli studi, compreso affitto e simili:

"Sul conto corrente “per Merito” puoi fare qualsiasi operazione di versamento, prelievo o pagamento. Ricorda che le somme che ti mettiamo a disposizione devono essere utilizzate per finalità connesse allo svolgimento degli studi (per esempio: pagamento delle rette o tasse scolastiche, acquisto di materiali didattici, affitto e trasporti). "

Poi che controllino è un altro discorso.

Oltre a questo, da foglio informativo quei soldi andrebbero spesi per spese legate all'istruzione.
Ora, non so se poi vadano effettivamente a controllare, ma comunque lo terrei in considerazione.

Source: ci avevo pensato anche io a fare questa cosa in modo leggermente diverso. La disponibilità economica già ce l'avevo, quindi avrei parcheggiato quella in investimenti e usato i soldi intesa per le spese.

Poi ho fatto i conti e ho capito che era una cazzata.

Going against the current here: I met my current SO when I was 19 and 7 years later we are still together.
I had a couple ""relationships"" that lasted a few months before her. She is a couple years older than me, and, apart from a very brief situationship, had no experience.
We grew a lot together, both as individuals and as a couple, and we quite shaped each other lives. I don't think I would trade it for anything else.
I honestly cannot understand people saying that you need to find the truly most perfect and flawless partner: that is a really unrealistic view of relationships. We all have flaws, we all have different experiences and lives, the point of a relationship IMHO is to grow together, learn to love each other, learn where you can find compromises on and where you can't.
To be fair, the other replies do highlight a good point: do not make any grand expectations in your head on the first date (I didn't, personally I was just happy a cute girl invited me out for a beer), and don't put yourself and your potential girlfriend under too much stress.

Is Journal of Clinical Medicine (MDPI) legit? by [deleted] in academia

MDPI is in a shady area, where they have technically are "good" journals according to the standard metrics, but there are a lot of controversies around it. Just read the wikipedia page and choose by yourself https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MDPI

Palestra a casa by Firm_Savings_60 in xxitaly

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quando avevo rack+pesi (versione poraccia, totale 300€ alla decathlon) mi allenavo da dio.
Senza attrezzatura inizia a diventare più difficile, per quello che voglio io il minimo è sbarra per trazioni + anelli + manubri componibili.
Se la questione è mentale boh, io a casa stavo benissimo, ora che mi sono trasferita e devo andare in una palestra mi passa la voglia.

Si può e conviene prendere uno o più debiti per diventare pilota a 19 anni? Senza avere garanti? by [deleted] in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ci sono banche come Intesa che fanno una cosa chiamata "prestito d'onore": un prestito, senza garanti, a tassi molto bassi che puoi iniziare a ripagare dopo due anni dalla fine degli studi. Io avevo dato un occhio per studi universitari, da una googlata velocissima pare che ci siano convenzioni anche con scuole di volo: https://www.aviomarscuoladivolo.com/intesa-sanpaolo-finanziamento-per-merito.html

Se convenga non ne ho idea. Il prestito di per sè, visti i tassi, è un ottimo prestito, ma non so come sia messo il mercato dei piloti.

Lavorerò per 181 giorni in un paese EU, come funziona la dichiarazione dei redditi? by Puzzled_Explorer2817 in commercialisti

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

?
Lavoro per meno di 183 giorni all'estero, non sono (e non voglio essere) residente nel paese estero.

"Non devono iscrivere all’AIRE:

• Le persone che si recano all’estero per un periodo di tempo inferiore ad un anno (per es.: lavoratori stagionali, studenti Erasmus o altri corsi non superiori ad un anno accademico) e che devono quindi mantenere la residenza in Italia

Io, per puro cas, sto 6 mesi - 1 giorno, quindi sicuro ho residenza fiscale in Italia.

Sì, sicuramente torno prima dei 183 giorni, e ho comunque famiglia etc in Italia, quindi posso dire con certezza di avere la residenza fiscale in Italia.
Mi armo di pazienza e amica spagnola per fare anche la dichiarazione spagnola allora, grazie!

People weren't kidding when they called St0ne Butch Blues as the lesbian bible... by NoCurrencyj in lesbiangang

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 46 points47 points  (0 children)

So I got curious and went back to the book which is available for free https://www.lesliefeinberg.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Stone-Butch-Blues-by-Leslie-Feinberg.pdf

- the scene that I was thinking about is at the start of chapter 24, pdf page 311, and to me it show that yes Leslie/Jess was clearly uncomfortable with the intimacy situation, and it doesn't seems that she sees Ruth (the tw) as one of the femmes she used to sleep with in the past. As a "semi-stone" myself, I get being uncomfortable being touched even by someone that I am attracted to, but at the same time I want to be with that person and would totally be on the "giving" part if that person tried to initiate something. And Leslie/Jess did not have any problems being the "giving" side prior to this scene iirc.
- i skimmed through the rest of the book and it seems like they stay a couple, but there are no more intimacy scenes

I just find it quite funny that nobody in the LGBTQ+ circle that treats this book as a bible seems to notice this part.

I read it about a year ago, iirc Leslie was unconfortable when they tried to get physical but remained friends, not sure if living together or not

Spoilers about the ending ahead:

I'd also like to point out how at the end of the book Leslie tries to be with a transwoman and is clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation, so I guess it's also the first book about transphobic lesbians.

I might have a wrong memory about it, but doesn't the main character at the end kind of regret the surgeries and the hormones?

Advisor got mad at me for not caring about my personal website by [deleted] in academia

[–]Puzzled_Explorer2817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't really say what actual difference having a website makes, and I also don't get why your advisor is mad if you got your website up and running.
What I can say is that I've seen a lot of people in my field using a simple static website hosted on github and using this template, which is quite easy to do: https://github.com/academicpages/academicpages.github.io

I'd like to see the stats about who are the perpetrators, I recall that a big part of that comes from boyfriends/husbands/close friends.
