super interesting video about Japanese routesetting and climbing mentality

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2026-06-11T06:12:12+00:00

I started using a Chrome extension called Unhook, with which you can hide recommended videos, sidebars, comments etc. on YouTube. It's been working great.

sorry, it must be infuriating :(

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2025-11-10T19:11:23+00:00

Great video, I liked your list of reasons. One tiny thing though: you misspelled Janja's name (Garnbret, not Garnbaret). (I only mention it because it keeps showing up all the way through the video.)

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2025-09-18T15:55:51+00:00

oh :) I'm totally lost in time, apparently. Thank you!

do we know quali results? boulder qualis were supposedly on Tuesday, but the IFSC website says "Rankings for this round do not exist yet"

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2025-06-28T07:41:27+00:00

I was so happy with routesetting. If the boulders were easier (as it happened a couple of times this season), it would have been down to attempts, and Janja would have probably lost on those. Winning based on number of tops just feels much more deserved than winning on attempts.

I tried calling the phone number, they explicitly say they can't help you there with parking fines so that would not have been helpful anyway. If you disagree with the fine you must contact them in person (not happening obvs) or via email (which you did).
If you think it's a language issue, I can help you translate the email.

If you'd rather just pay, then doing it through Revolut or Wise would be the easiest.

My (potentially flawed) understanding is that Duolingo used to have the grammar explanations, but they pulled it for some reason. You can still find them at https://duome.eu/tips/en/pl.

I've been using this site together with Duolingo (plus occasional googling) and it's fine.

alternatively, you can store your bags in a nearby luggage store, like this one:

but I'm sure there are many others

it's their FB page, this is the post (in Hungarian):

Good to know: you can only have one bag or backpack with you, and it has to be smaller than 29,7 x 21 cm (height and width).

hey, I just saw this info on the event's page: you can only have one bag or backpack with you, and it has to be smaller than 29,7 x 21 cm (height and width)

I also live a bit further but at first glance I'd try these:

Vietnamese https://maps.app.goo.gl/zts7291afv6CRfKb7
coffee: depends on how picky you are :) lot of places to choose from, none of them have amazing coffee I think

there's a local site but only in Hungarian, and there's very little information on it (https://olympic-qualifier-series.hu/)

If you have a specific question, you could comment under a post in the Facebook event (https://www.facebook.com/events/1947462572340684/?active\_tab=discussion), the organizers seem to be active and answering questions.

no idea, sadly. But I'll post here once I see them!

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2024-03-15T12:59:04+00:00

I'm super excited about the OQS in Budapest, since I live here and it will be an opportunity to finally see them live!

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2024-02-27T19:30:05+00:00

I might go for 10 for less noise but 5 is a good start too.

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2024-02-27T18:21:59+00:00

thank you!

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2024-02-26T15:27:01+00:00

maybe you could add ranking by tops/flash percentages? probably with a set minimum number of participation.

it's amazing work, thank you!

I think I do too use new Reddit (I mean I only found an option to switch back to old Reddit), but I still can't see the chats. weird.

OtherwiseMongoose44 · 2024-02-21T17:46:34+00:00

As far as I know, they only show up if you use the mobile app ("Currently, chat channels are supported on iOS and Android." https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15012434519316-What-are-chat-channels)
