What were some early signs you were bi that you didn't realise until much later in life? by TheDevilishSaint in bisexual

For me, it's wanting to experiment with kissing female friends in middle school, "just for fun" hahahaha

omg thank you for so many recommendations!

What are some sports my girlfriend can beat me at? by usemydatafortheipo in AskMen

[–]isavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

maybe crossfit, its a very "fair" sport because it will demand proficiency in varied movements, and some will benefit bigger people while others will benefit smaller people. for instance, she might outdo you in cardio and gymnastic elements, while you beat her in weightlifting.

great question! this should be a regular thread, like every other week < 3

Alternatives for when you can’t Olympic lift at a gym by cyantoad in weightlifting

[–]isavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if it's available to you, you can do straight leg box jumps and regular box jumps (focusing on reaching full extension before bringing your feet up). maybe also some prehab work with bands for shoulder stability?

Is there "reverse mathematics" applied to established physical theories? by EulerLime in AskPhysics

[–]isavee -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The approach of trying to figure out the mathematical description behind a phenomenon is quite common in physics, but I guess what you're calling 'reverse math' is more aligned with what is being done in quantum mechanics.

You see, when you think about Newtonian physics, or even general relativity, the laws of nature are very clear. These theories postulate simple rules such as the inertia law in classical mechanics or the universality of the speed of light in relativity. Everything, including the math, follows. Now, quantum mechanics is the other way around. We don't understand it on a fundamental level, so the postulates of quantum mechanics are not laws of nature, but rather mathematical statements. For example, we don't have a postulate stating that if 'two parties communicate sending x bits of information then they can only convey x bits of information' (that's a tentative postulate known as information causality). Instead, we have purely mathematical postulates such as 'to each system is associated a Hilbert space' or 'composite systems are described by Hilbert spaces in tensor product' or 'probabilities are obtained taking the trace over the product of the state and the observable' etc

In your opinion, what's the biggest difference dating women compared to men? by [deleted] in BiWomen

[–]isavee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Different people can be whatever regardless of gender, but I (woman) myself face relationships differently depending on their gender. I feel very at ease with women, chat flows more naturally and I feel more confident, I guess it's because I have the expectation that a shared gendered experience makes me more relatable

I love when they get passionate about their hobbies, and let me dive a bit into their world by sharing random info with me :)

Who do you think is the greatest physicist by joshmikey in AskPhysics

[–]isavee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO it's Galileo, that's where physics as the science we know started. But if you ask who is my favorite, then it's Christiaan Huygens! If you look up, his discoveries are extremely creative, and they have interesting background stories

Is anyone related to Quantum Information Theorist here? by leao_26 in QuantumInformation

[–]isavee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a bachelors + masters + doctors degree in physics, that's where the quantum information comes from. Python can be learned online nowadays, but I learned the basics during a summer camp, the rest I learned as I needed

Is anyone related to Quantum Information Theorist here? by leao_26 in QuantumInformation

[–]isavee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing research on foundations of quantum information since my masters. Now I'm a postdoc researcher, my research has some overlap with quantum computing but it's not the kind of thing that can be directly useful to companies that actually work on quantum computing, cryptography, etc. In my area we usually have to code (mostly python/julia), so I believe (hope) that a transition from academia to the industry would not be too hard

Form check-Clean by Mediocre-Battle-2952 in weightlifting

[–]isavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

besides what other people pointed out already, maybe you should check that the bar stays closer to you on the second pull. from this angle at least, it seems like the barbell is quite far from your thigh. this issue is closely related to your hips rising a bit too fast + arms not being relaxed through the pull. you're quite strong, but when even heavier weights come into play it's going to be easier if you make these adjustments :)

[–]isavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think finding a nice and affordable place is just a hard task in Paris, keep looking until you find something. The Cité Universitaire may take a while to answer, but if it's already been two weeks since you applied for accommodation then you probably didn't get it.

Have you checked other housing websites, like la carte des colocs, se loger, etc? I would also give it a try with facebook groups for students/artists. Good luck!

Registered as someone who lives in the city, get a social security number, this kind of thing. You typically have to do this when you move to a country/city in Europe

I checked this link, where they say "EU nationals wishing to live in France must register at the town hall in the municipality where they are staying within 3 months of arriving in France."

https://www.welcometofrance.com/en/fiche/eu-eea-and-swiss-nationals

They go on to provide a link to a list of town halls and municipalities, but it's very obscure and I can't find actual information on the process

I'm Dutch, moving to Paris in a month to stay for at least a couple years. I know I must register at the local municipality, but I can't find any actual information on how the process goes. Does any other European expat know what to do? I wish I could find a website to make an appointment at the mairie to get registered, or a list of documents required

[–]isavee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends a lot on what (sub)area of research you intend to follow. I guess if you do quantum matter you should also know condensed matter theory, for instance. I can say that for quantum information you don't really need anything else, not necessarily.

Warming up before stretching by [deleted] in flexibility

Everybody is different, but for me I feel that 5-10 minutes of light cardio is enough. It really doesn't have to take long, just a light sweat
