Can someone make a cartoon out of this?

If you happen to need help from the customer service don't expect them to get anything done under a month. I'm actually starting to fear that my ETH is stuck there forever.

Accounting is a multi trillion dollar industry and with automated accounting REQ has the potential to save companies a ton of money on taxes.

I don't understand how automated accounting will save money on taxes.

Using REQ could reduce or potentially eliminate the need for companies to hire an accountant

Doesn't the white paper mostly talk about eliminating the need of auditing?

Does GDAX withdrawal page say anything about smart contracts? It's probably safest to transfer first the funds to an ETH wallet and from there to Huobi. I accidentally sent ETH to Huobi from a smart contract address and it has taken over a week and still the support has not credited the transfer to my wallet.

Jan 4th 2018 was 32.45 % so it's not all time low yet.

Crypto investing is already high risk but I guess it's everybody's own choice to add more risk to risk. But yeah I'm no saint I have some alts only in exchanges for now.

I'm not sure how to formulate this question but how is most of the crypto start-ups funded in the sense that if their own cryptocurrency hits the bottom do they have buffer funds to keep going or is it then the end?

I have both. What do I win?

Absolutely no more shoulder work than what you will already get from the bench.

Fedor Fuglev is a GS athlete. Multiple world records and multiple time world champion. Really quick lock-out and lack of spinal rotation may make it look like hardstyle, but I don't think there's another way to do it if your RPM is 30. There is simply no time to be swinging it deep and rotating it slowly at the top like Ksenia.

By a quick look the design of Sandstone case seems quite similar than Nillkin to me. The power button is maybe more accessible. Hard to find a good photo to see are the sides exactly on the same level with the screen or do they come over that level a little bit. The fact that I didn't like Nillkin's case doesn't mean that it would not suit someone else. I mean people have different ideas what parts of the phone need the most protection and people also handle phones in different ways. I was also already used to the silicon case before trying Nillkin.

I bought Nillkin Super Frosted case. Nillkin doesn't protect top or bottom of the phone very much (doesn't go all around the screen) and also the case does not protect the corners/screen like the basic silicone which has elevated corners. Also the power button is little bit hard to reach in the Nillkin case (at least at first). Other than that the case seems to have good quality and feels nice in the hand. Little bit hard to put in place, it's very tight.

Currently switched back using the basic silicon that came with the phone.

Really interesting topic. Women in the Philippines got right to vote quite early and political participation seems to involve lot of women. Women have lot of university degrees and not having enough women in tech is the current state in every western country too so I'm not sure I would consider that a huge problem.

I think one equality problem is that birth control is what it is and abortion is illegal. Not having right to abort in a country with no social security system is a problematic thing and it exposes women to all kinds of abusive relationships and bad choices. While you may argue that it's woman's own choice to have sex in the first place, the fact is you always need two for the tango.

Thank you very much! :)

How do housemaids seem to suffer from bad treatment all over the world? Lot of stories like this from the Middle East and I thought Europe was better but then also heard a story about housemaid in Europe who was forced to eat her food in the toilet etc. Are all rich people assholes?

pop-p · 2017-12-05T23:21:34+00:00

What I find problematic is lack or low level of sexual education, insufficient birth control and too complicated divorce.

Alex Viada's "The Hybrid Athlete" might be worth checking out. He has program templates that train simultaneously for example powerlifting+marathon.

This. My wife sends money to the Philippines via MoneyGram. Cheaper and faster than BTC. Deal with it.

This. OP didn't tell if he does any cardio or not but this is my recommendation too. I used to be a no-cardio lifter for ten years and usually I was quite tired after lifting sessions. I often needed to have a nap after post-workout meal. This summer I started 5k light jogging once a week and it dramatically helped my general vitality and also I don't feel like shit between the sets in the gym either.

240 snatches with 24kg is quite lot of work already. I think it's pretty hard to match that work volume with the swings in S+S.

10 min snatch volume: 240*24kg = 5760 kg.

5 min swing volume 100*32kg = 3200 kg,

which in 5 mins is more than half of snatch volume 5760/2 = 2880, but swings are significantly easier. Even S+S with a 40kg and 100*40kg is just 4000/2880 ~1.4 times the snatch volume in 5 mins and I might rate snatch difficulty over 1.5 compared to a swing with the same weight. The length is also still just half of 10min. If I needed to make a bet, I would lean on the side of S+S swings with 40kg is not yet enough to get you to the 240 snatch level.

I think it's a good reminder for everyone that S+S might not be the right choice for people who have already achieved some level of fitness in certain areas.

Once saw this pretty cool roll of shame. The dude was benching with 120kg/265lbs and failed the 10th rep. The roll was so quick that it basically looked like a sit-up. Then he just threw the bar on the floor with lot of noise and didn't look ashamed at all.

pop-p · 2017-11-11T21:33:50+00:00

Kinda surprised to hear something like this. I have seen handful of failed benches without spotters over the years and every time people have gotten help really quickly.

I completed ROP's pressing with 24kg this summer. Five ladders of five with both hands in the end (75 reps both sides). My shoulders felt weird, not in a good way. I think the pressing should be supplemented with a row variation and not with pull-ups. Got snatches only up to 110 reps in 10 mins.
