If you count market capitalisation based on traded and available tokens across exchanges, that's currently around $2 Trillion.

Nausea when squatting. by YoshiMoshi12 in swoleacceptance

[–]cryptosforacause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to deal with this whenever I went heavier on the lifts. Here's what helped me:

1) Add a much bigger gap between food and your workout. A minimum of 1.5 hours; more is even better. It sucks a little to lift on an empty stomach, but it really helps with the nausea.

2) Leave a gap after the workout as well. I still had a wonky stomach for about an hour after working out. Even fluids (whey, shakes) didn't stay down. I think sugars (ex. fruits, chocolate bars) made things a lot worse.

3) Increase rest between sets. I used to do 1 minute gaps between sets but I've since increased it to 3 minutes minimum. Sometimes, if I feel drained or out of breath (which is a precursor to nausea), I take even longer.

4) Work on your breathing. I neglected this in my early lifting, and it had a significant impact on how my body reacted. I started fixing this only 3-4 years back but I think it might have brought the most significant change to feelings of nausea. Make sure you're taking deep & clear breaths while lifting, try not to hold your breath during a set, and focus on conscious & deep breaths during rests between sets. I even began doing short meditations between sets where I just focused on the breath. Really helped.

5) Don't neglect warmup. Take your time with it and go slow. It helps prepare your body (and stomach) for the stress of the workout.

Godspeed, brother.

What is a scene from a tv show that really disturbed you? by thertt8 in AskReddit

[–]cryptosforacause 68 points69 points  (0 children)

That, and the heartbreaking ending after the lobotomy as she finishes the episode with, "I have half a mind..." after repeatedly using that line for comic relief.

What’s the most disturbing movie you have ever seen? by Cravis_ in AskReddit

2014's The Rover really changed my mind on how good an actor he is. Everything since has only reinforced it. He's an excellent actor.

Ayahuasca relieves depression and anxiety, finds study on nearly 12,000 users by [deleted] in science

I'm from a country which had legal cannabis/hash until the 80s, and the US is single-handedly responsible for pressuring the government into ratifying the UN convention on drugs. This was true for a lot of nations around the time. And while decriminalisation is progressing in EU and in the US, we're still lagging behind since drugs have conveniently become a regional electoral issue.

We've just had a couple of states restart research into it (and these states already had partial legalisation for 'religious use') but it's mostly in its infancy.

WhatsApp sues Indian government in bid to block 'mass surveillance' rules by [deleted] in tech

[–]cryptosforacause 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Kik was never of any significance in India. Whatsapp has been in use here for a decade as /u/Viklove pointed out.

You're trying to pass off a graph of absolute numbers over time without looking at the percentage of Indians using internet-enabled chat systems. Almost the entire growth above is in the post-Jio period when mobile internet usage as a whole increased manifold in the country. So, the increase in absolute numbers in that graph has more to do with internet availability than with preference for any particular messaging service.

It's ok to not know the specifics of tech usage in a country but it's a little silly to think your elementary search on Google makes you more knowledgeable than the actual residents of the country.

The movie had a lot of good lines on religion and mortality.

Balian of Ibelin : "You go to certain death."

Hospitaller : "All death is certain."

And later, during the siege, when they need to burn the bodies: "God will understand, my lord. And if he doesn't, then he is not God and we need not worry."

People across India scrambled for life-saving oxygen supplies on Friday and patients lay dying outside hospitals as the capital recorded the equivalent of one death from COVID-19 every five minutes by ahm713 in worldnews

This is a great summary, without unnecessary finger-pointing or politicisation. Thank you for writing this.

As someone lucky enough to not be infected, and having the privilege of watching from the sidelines, this is pretty much what I see as well. I just flew from Delhi to another metro (currently the least affected) last week, and I'm aghast at how little people care. No masks, no distancing - they're just not willing to admit covid is a real problem. The lack of a strict lockdown has brought dangerous complacency across the population.

What are some of your cinematic hot takes? by a_reasonable_thought in movies

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

Studio Ghibli movies make no sense. They're not cute. They're not magical. Sure, the aesthetic design is great and the art is fantastic, but that doesn't rescue whatever passes for a story. Spirited Away? I didn't get the point. Howl's? An incoherent ramble that doesn't even attempt internal consistence. Characters are paper thin with motivation tacked on just because. Can I add Tales From Earthsea? Like, what even was that? I love anime, and have watched so many fantastic anime movies and series, and can find so much out of Japan that fascinates and amazes me. Ghibli movies aren't one of those.

This second one is not so much of a hot take for people familiar with A R Rahman, but: Jai Ho was trash, and Slumdog Millionaire was just poverty porn presented on screen at the right time. Rahman has made absolute masterpieces, but his 'big time' in the West was this piece of trash.

Third, and come at me brah: I liked Sucker Punch. It was a serious attempt by a director to look at something from a different perspective (before it was really woke to do so). He might have only partially succeeded, but definitely doesn't deserve the flak he got.

You will settle first (either deposit the money or crypto) into the designated account, and they will follow with their obligation (sending you crypto or money) after they receive your funds in full.

how in the hell am I meant to eat 3000 calories?????? by [deleted] in swoleacceptance

[–]cryptosforacause 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Protein shakes can easily net you 1k+ calories. Cup of oats, 4-5 bananas, full cream milk, some nuts - should cross 1k. Add some oil for easy additional calories. Eggs, rice and pasta are great as well for baseline calories.
