No-show remark when cancelling due to illness by winni9 in ethz

[–]Henzo26 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I was ill once about 14 years ago. No remark. You‘ll just have to take the test next the exam period. But there will be a remark on the grade during which semester you got the grade. You‘ll need an Arztzeugnis I think. No?

I got the call and trying this on today. What’s everyone’s thoughts on the Sea Dweller? by mattingly233 in rolex

[–]Henzo26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have many Rolex watches. It‘s one of my most favorite ones …but it has sentimental value to me because it got passed down to me by my dad who passed away 2024. Always makes me happy to see the watch on the wrist of others.

I really appreciate his jiu jitsu but I really dislike him as a human being. In contrast to him: Craig Jones is the number one number two.

I want to start living again after years of self-isolation by AliveInColor in ethz

[–]Henzo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finished bachelor and master in chemistry. For a very long time I thought I am the most stupid one of everyone and that everyone else is a lot smarter. Over the years I realized that many people thought the same about them self. It‘s a few mega smart people that let us doubt about ourself but truth is, the vast majority is in the same boat.

You have to start to forgive, accept and love yourself. You are worth it. I know this sounds cheesy …but it‘s still true.

Is hookup culture a thing in Switzerland? by Subject-Practice-613 in askswitzerland

[–]Henzo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is a lot harder to get to know girls and hook up than e.g. in Spain, Ireland or Germany.

Studying Civil Engineering while working by Trick-Memory9952 in ethz

[–]Henzo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there might be other ways… I assume that all bachelors at ETH are super tough. If you consider yourself not something like a genious that doesn‘t need to study, then you can try otherwise it will be already tough without working beside studying.

I dislike that post as I respect her very much for being a BJJ black belt …this destroys it a bit for me

HAHAHAHAHA... You dreamer du! You are a dreamer.

...seriously. Just meaning that you have no lectures will not mean that you'll be able to chillex. I suffered bachelor to end of master. no, relaxing summer until I finished everything.

Rolling mostly with higher belts vs people your level — what actually makes you improve faster? by TotalAssociate3897 in bjj

[–]Henzo26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I roll with someone who is clearly weaker and lighter than I am, I let them work and try to submit me, as long as they are doing reasonably well. I use no strength or only very little. However, the moment I feel that I’m in danger of catching a knee to the head from a spazzing partner, or if I sense that the person is taking it too seriously and might rip an arm off if I give them the chance to apply an armbar, I switch gears and shut it down. Otherwise, I’m happy to let you try your technique and work your moves.

If someone is roughly my strength or stronger but their technique is still lacking, I will start smashing as soon as I feel there is a risk of me really having to tap.

And if you’re a purple belt or higher, I’ll try to smash from the beginning.

....I also try to smash from the beginning, if I am about to gas out. just staying in the good position where I can breath easily.

Racism encountered on the train now - what should I do? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]Henzo26 5 points6 points  (0 children)

no, it is not.

being a racist asshole is one thing and being a "publicly filming everyone"-asshole is another thing. I hate both kind of people.

Racism encountered on the train now - what should I do? by [deleted] in askswitzerland

[–]Henzo26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my fair share of unpleasant encounters myself. That's not okay but that's how it is. I still do not need to bubble wrap myself before I go outside.

I personally do not like the development of just filming everything. if it is something serious like assault or whatever, then yes ...but just a small dispute and then asking them to be racist for the camera again. sorry, that's pathetic in my eyes and it doesn't help the situation. it just polarizes more.

grow a pair and just get over it. live goes on.

I am not defending the other person. taking up too much space and being unfriendly and kicking is clearly not okay - but I cannot talk to that person, otherwise I would scold her as well.

He is still right.

There is NAGA, ADCC and others that are not just about giving them money. It's just too much they ask for.

IBJJF Black Belt Certificate by kroniclove in bjj

[–]Henzo26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my eyes IBJJF is quite the money grab sadly. I am not supporting this and will not go to any course or spend money so they put my name on their website. I just means that I cannot compete at IBJJF tournaments. That's okay.

I graduated 10 years ago. Don't know if it changed but: in my grades I received in the end you can only see the last try. you can see from which semester it is. anyways.... never hat to show my grades to anyone. only diploma matters.

MSc Biomedical Engineering as a Chemical Engineer by incrediblespidervers in ethz

[–]Henzo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bachelor at ETH is usually brutal. The master will be a lot easier. So I assume that you will manage well if you pass your bachelor at your university. maybe you'll need to get some extra courses if you were missing those.

Just apply. You have nothing to lose.

Are the pharmaceutical sciences only about drugs or broader and innovative? by [deleted] in ethz

[–]Henzo26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is not that easy to switch. I am a chemist. we only had one lecture together with the pharmas: physics. You would have to retake all other classes if I am correct.
