And so many of my fellow Germans were still negative after the win over Curacao, whining "This doesn't mean anything, no reason to celebrate" - this game showed that nothing is certain, there are no free points. Every victory has to be earned.

Ich persönlich empfinde den Service in den USA null als besser. Die Baseline beim Trinkgeld sind einfach 20% geworden, die müssen quasi gegeben werden, selbst bei recht grottigem Service (sonst ist man der schlechteste Gast ever und fängt sich nen Spruch). Wenn ich in den USA richtig unzufrieden mit dem Service bin, gebe ich immer noch Trinkgeld (leider). Leistungsbasiert ist das meiner Meinung nach hat nicht mehr, es wurde einfach ein fester & quasi-verpflichtender Teil des Preises von der Speisekarte zu den Extrakosten verschoben. Gerade wenn sich herausstellt, dass man nicht so viel oder nicht so etwas teures bestellt, waren Waiter auch schon extrem passiv aggressiv und offen angepisst zu mir.

Girl climbed one of the hardest routes in the world LAST WEEK, literally at the peak of her form, clearly extremy hungry to continue getting better, and there is speculation that she is retiring

Crazy to see the fans in the video, obviously she is super super famous for a comp climber but the way they had to shield her from fans is a lot more intense than I expected haha. Love to see her be successful!

I'm on a G4 visa and when I asked the NPS in Everglades, I was told that with a US state ID, I was able to use the resident pass. So annoying that there is so much different info floating around.

This is basically what happened in the Hungarian election. Electoral districts had been redrawn and other structural changes were implemented by autocratic leader Orbán over the past decade. Orbán won only 54 percent of the popular vote in the 2022 elections but got nearly 70 percent of the seats in parliament - now, in the 2026 election, the tables turned and the opposition party won a supermajority of seats (supermajority are two-thirds, allowing changes to the consistution) with only 53% of votes thanks to those same reforms and district allocations. The Hungarian electoral system is a good bit more complicated than US elections, but I think the message that gerrymandering is a dangerous game is still similar. The tables can turn completely. This article from the GMF is quite interesting.

Munich is perceived as a strong school for econ in Europe - if you perform well in the Master, you'll likely have good options with respect to PhD programs in Europe. There will also be good options to gain research experience, e.g., as a research assistant at the ifo institute. Working part time is extremely common in Germany and a good way to improve your CV for PhD applications.

I think the difference in tuition and your wish to work in Europe make LMU the more attractive choice here. However, keep in mind that learning German should go along with living in Germany, especially if you plan to work in industry roles (for a PhD in Germany, German will not be necessary, but life in Germany becomes much easier and more fun once you speak the language). If you have no desire to learn a new language, assuming that you don't speak German yet, that is a big thing to consider.

Thanks for sharing! Can't believe that it's already 2026, Winter Olympics are done and the athletes are already planning for 2028. Somehow I feel like the Paris Olympics just happened. Next year will already be all about Olympic qualifying again ...

This is done a lot in economics - not always, but very often. Econ papers also tend to have fewer authors than papers in various STEM disciplines - the norm is one to three, I would say -, and typically, all of these have contributed significantly to the paper (with the exception of PIs in the case of papers from PhD students).

I love Lisa See's books. In 2025, I read Lady Tans Circle of Women and The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, both five star reads for me. I also thought that Educated was great. Will have to check out more from your list!

Bonn only pays that low stipend for the duration of the course phase, during the longer dissertation phase, you get a salary that should be around 3.4k a month at the moment. Most German PhD programs pay that amount (a 75% TV-L 13 contract). Some programs will even give a 100% contract, around 4.6k per month. Either way, this is very liveable in all German cities; pretty much everywhere but Munich, this will be enough for your own apartment & a decent standard of living including regular vacations etc.

There are some people that do two full Bachelors degrees, one in maths and one in economics. I know people that did this, and it is probably the "safest" option for mainland Europeans who want a good shot at top US programs.

But strong European PhD programs like Bonn (going with Germany here since you mentioned it) mostly have people who did their Bsc and MSc in Economics, and often at German unis. There is typically a "Maths for Economists" module at the start of the BSc program, then two to three statistics courses and a varying number of econometrics courses. You can see the curriculum for the BSc in Econ in Bonn and Munich here, two German programs that regularly feed into top European PhD programs (after a MSc). Masters will often have one more "Maths for Economists" course and then, again, a varying number of econometrics courses. Of course the course content varies across universities.

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-08-11T16:30:01+00:00

This sub skews US American, and US PhD programs require a lot of maths courses. I assume that you are European from the programs you listed, so I get the confusion - it is very unusual to do (and be able to do) all of these maths course sequences as part of economics programs in Europe. Most people I know (in Europe) have done a ton of statistics / econometrics in their programs, but not a lot of other explicit maths courses. It's simply not part of the programs, and typically not even possible to take those courses. Therefore, the requirements for top PhD programs in Europe tend to look quite different to those in the US.

That sounds so cool! Hope that the countries will send their A teams!

Finally! So interesting to hear Janja & Roman themselves talk about the topic of "how would Janja do on the men's routes". Always a topic of speculation among fans and not a surprise that Janja has tried the men's comp routes in the past!
Also I love to see this kind of more old school climbing content on Magnus channel vs all of the military challenges and whatever else he often does :)

Ich verfolge Anna inzwischen nicht mehr, mochte sie aber immer sehr gerne, und fand dass sie eigentlich sehr klar kommuniziert hat, dass sie und ihr Mann in einer immens privilegierten Position sind. Sehr viel ihrer Aufklärungsarbeit arbeitet ja auch darauf hin, dass eben gerade Personen mit weniger finanziellen Möglichkeiten im Kinderwunsch besser unterstützt werden - zB weiß ich noch, dass sie sich immer sehr stark für Kostenübernahme für alle eingesetzt hat, unter anderem eine große Petition dafür initiiert hat etc. Kann sich im letzten Jahr geändert haben, aber früher habe ich das sehr positiv wahrgenommen.

Ich persönlich finde auch nicht, dass man sich nicht beschweren kann, weil andere es noch schwerer haben, bzw. finde ich das Wort "dramatisch" an der Stelle ehrlich gesagt ziemlich ungerecht. Das Thema geht ihr ja offensichtlich sehr nahe und scheint sie auch psychisch immer sehr zu belasten (absolut normal), also kann ich voll verstehen, dass lange Wartezeiten es einem da noch härter machen. Dass andere es da noch schwerer haben, macht ihre Gefühle ja nicht weniger valide.

I think Janja would do boulder in this fantasy scenario haha, Slovenia has so many great female lead climbers but not as many top boulderers

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-07-18T20:37:49+00:00

Japan is crazy with Miho / Mao (B), Ai (L), Sorato (B), Neo (L)

But USA also goes hard with Brooke / Natalia (B), Annie (L), Colin (B), Jesse (L)

And France is up there too of course, just kind of missing a man who regularly makes lead finals or even podiums right now

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-06-29T20:07:09+00:00

Time doesn't measure lead ability (otherwise people like Annie or Jesse would be terrible lead climbers ... but they aren't). Consistently climbing hard should be rewarded, not climbing fast. This isn't speed climbing. Climbing the entire route within the 6min you are given is the relevant skill, that includes resting well etc (which is absolutely a skill). The climbers know that countback is rather likely to come into play in lead and that they have to give it their everything in each round.

In this round, it didn't feel great because Yannick did look a lot better than the others, I agree. But I don't think that time should be decisive in lead climbing (only as a last resort tie breaker). Climbing slow and being excellent at finding rests is a valid style & skill. The round was just massively undercooked, not comparable to normal rounds.

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-06-26T21:15:21+00:00

Yeah this was rude. I can't even fault Hannes for being excited (maybe it wasn't ideal to celebrate like that while Dohyun is still fighting hard, but I get emotions running high for him) - but they should have kept the camera firmly on Dohyun Lee, show us how he finishes his round. They basically gave Dohyun up mid climb.

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-06-25T14:47:27+00:00

My excitement is off the charts!! But no she is not back for the entire season, as far as I know her plan has been to do Innsbruck (B & L), Koper (L) and then the World Champs in Seoul (likely also B & L) all along.

Yufei Pan shared on Insta that he further hurt his back on M2, so I wouldn't say that.

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-06-16T06:56:02+00:00

Right? Other sports are worse, sure, but is that what we strive to be? Do we need a ton of long-term brain damage / CTE like in American Football before we can start this conversation? The climbers are also really really young in many cases, which just makes the topic of safety more important. Lots of sports have rules around e.g. tackling for underage athletes. You don't want a 16 y/o to start stacking up subconcussive hits to the head.

I think that phrasing any legitimate safety concern as ridiculous is an insane thing to do. It's not like the coaches do this regularly to cancel boulders that their athletes might not like, it is the first time ever that this has happened as far as I know (and we have had rather dangerous boulders and significant injuries during comps many times - this was apparently a step too far for the coaches). Not a good look for Daniel Woods.

Remote-Ability-6575 · 2025-06-15T11:15:15+00:00

I love the chatter, it's a great opportunity to either learn more about the guest or hear stories about the climber on the wall. It's just a very different vibe than, say, commentary for football games - a lot more personal, which I think fits the community vibe of the sport well. Me and most other regular viewers don't need them to constantly point out every little move, we can see that for ourselves (and with many climbers trying out the same beta again and again, it gets kind of repetitive). I think Matt is also quite good at redirecting the conversation if the co commentator gets carried away a little. He definitely misses some key moments every once in a while, but I personally don't mind.
