Get rid of this dangerous idea in your head that you don't want to be rich, never let anyone make you feel guilty for having wealth, you don't have to feel bad for getting ahead, if you don't you'll always be that close to being behind. Wealth is not a conserved quantity. Crabs in a bucket and tall poppy syndrome are not acceptable explanations. I'm confident anyone who put this idea in your head would not make the same decision if the tables were turned.
I think we should let our children choose their ocupation. IMO it really doesn't metter whether she becomes topologist, algebraist, statistician, geometer, or logician.
Take care of yourself man, a whole community has loved your videos for years and it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable to those people, I wish you the best of luck 🫡👍
Flammy, you didn’t lose control of your finances, the company you worked with to build your house bamboozled you into thinking the price was way less than it actually was.
And it seems they didn't even appoint an architect, because all those questions the builders asked should have been redirected to the architect. There is zero reason why they had his phone number, it's the architect who normally asks the questions and he doesn't need to do it all the time, only once every 2 or 3 days.
During the pandemic I suffered greatly. I was depressed for nearly two years, and I took my third year of university of twice, failing both times. I'm now on my third attempt, but this time I'm much healthier, and happier, and I know I'll succeed. Why I got better, and why I even became ill in the first place, I don't really know for sure, but it happened, and it's over. And the same will be true for you. Many thanks for the years of laughs and education you've given to us all. Papa bless.
Flammy, I hope you are alright. I have recently been feelin' a bit not-so-well because life definitely can be chaotic and messy, but life always can get better, and I hope all of those in subpar situations know this. Hope everyone is doing well, stay healthy. Also, as an edit, it is definitely good to talk about stuff like this. I hope you are alright.
Just finished watching the video, it takes a lot of courage to make a video like this. Stay strong and take care of yourself, I've been watching your videos since 2020 and without you I would have forgotten how to do maths!! Glad to hear almost everything is paid off regarding the house, I'll support you by buying some stem merch
I’m doing A Level Further Math and I have one teacher who is amazing, and I love bringing questions from your videos to the class. When I found your T-shirts with Euler’s formula I knew this is going to be present from our class for him. Thanks for you work🙃
Hey papa, I'm sorry that times are tough for you. If this helps I'd really want you to know that you've been a great inspiration to all of us and especially to me. I did my math major because of you. I've watched your videos since 2018 and ever since I've been inspired by what you do and what the future holds for me. It really hurts to see you in the position you're in now, but I wish you the best of luck. I know you will pull through.
Leaving a comment for the algorithm. Your vids were an inspiration to study maths at uni, and now I'm about to graduate with my masters. I'm so happy to see you back on my feed and I hope things turn out for the best for you :))
I am currently studying maths and you are one of my inspirations to keep me going and forget about the stress of exams but rather focus on the beauty of maths itself!
Congratulations on your beautiful daughter! Sorry to hear you've been having such a rough time. Life's honestly been really hard for me as well. Hopefully it will soon get much better for the both of us.
I cannot state how much I enjoy your videos, you are a great educator but also add some comedy to your videos, which is very needed. Thank you and please take care.
We love you flammy. Sorry for hearing that you had to go through difficult times. I wish you more strength and all the mess fixed up as soon as possible.
Life hits hard on everyone in very different ways and times. I've been running into troubles recently also, so I know that letting it out and be vulnerable definitely takes a lot of courage, but is also very helpful. Hope you are doing well.
I hope you have a better 2023! Best of luck to you and the new family! It's only 2cents worth, but my suggestion would be to do some lightly structured content, some series of things. This way, for many of the videos, you don't need a Herculean amount of creative effort each time. I really like the playlists you have on the second flammable maths channel.
Props to you man, it takes a lot of courage to make a video like this and to admit when change is needed (in the same phase myself atm). We've got this Papa Flammy 💪💪
Been watching your channel for over 4 years now can’t say how much I’ve loved your videos and always will. Look forward to what the future holds, keep it flammy
I'm not in the kind of situation where i can give money, but i can leave comments and boost the algorithm. Never thought of that as something i could do as a service, but i just realized that it does help. Best wishes and i hope your situation improves soon.
Hi, I come from Taiwan and not good in English, But I appreciate your passion when you solve exciting math problem. : ) And I hear some words about war, I hope you are alright.
It's really brave of you to make this video, and let me tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you find the change you are looking for in your life.
You have become man is all. Ive been watching ur vids as well as Andrew's since befor I started studying maths. I am now finished and I still watch your videos. This video makes me realise how much time has passed and the probem we all face is radically different from the problems we had years ago. All I have to say to you is that you have to do anything it takes to take care of yours.Your daughter and your wife. These are the things that matter and give meaning to life Jens. I wish u the best in life and congratulations to your household for welcoming a new being into the world.
I mean as far as my BSc is concerned. Now I'm thinking of calling it quits and just moving to another life chapter. But I feel like I shouldn't stop yet
Hey man, dont beat yourself up for this, doesnt seem like you had much fault, this shouldnt have happened if it wasnt for the scummy practice on the firms part. I love the work you do, you are a really strong for handling all this the way you do. Keep it up! The tesla thing, happened to a lot of people and is really sad to hear that you lost some stuff permanently. Im studying civil engineering (first semester lol) It hurts me to see stuff like this on a different level.
Flammy, first of all: congrats on being a father!! About your situation: I hope you're ok, we can always have bad times, but just remember: life's just like a sine, we all have our ups and downs, and I really hope you take care of yourself, your community loves you, and I personally got through some hard days here laughing and learning in your channel. Brazilian fan here, love the videos!!
Jens, your channel, along with Andrew’s and the combined advocacy for Brilliant led me down a path about 3 years ago. You helped me realize what I want professionally in life. Your precision and rigor in videos was so inspiring, there was always something new to learn; I’m doing well in undergrad and I’m surely looking forward to applying to graduate schools next year. Btw don’t even get me started on how addicted I was to learning for Brilliant. Such an incredible resource outside of assigned textbooks. You implicitly uplifted a potential physicist into the field. Thank you for being you!
I know that feeling of doom you are talking about. It is one of the worst feelings you can ever feel. You deserve to live a happy life with your wife and daughter. You may not think it much but even though you don't get crazy views you still touch lives from around the world. You touched the life of my friend from Canada who loves watching your videos and is an incredibly successful math major (like, having a published paper as a primary author beside his professor in his first year successful). Keep doing what you are doing! If things get tough don't be afraid to lay your head on the shoulders you love. If things get really tough, a quick google search told me that the German government offers free therapy services so that may be another avenue to touch on in the future.
Hey flammy, dont have time to watch the video right now, but i really appreciate your content, it made me enjoy matha s a whole. I hope you are alright, i saw what happened with your channel, and if you aren’t, hope everything gets better soon. Greetings from a fellow german, have a beatiful day you sexy beast :)
let's say I was dealing with the German real estate market recently as well... not to the extent you did but I definitely feel you. it's just something you cannot win with. I think about it as a boss fight you have to get over with in order to go further. it sounds like you are already at the final boss stage so I hope you will get some peace very soon! stay strong, my dude, you are a qualified problem solver after all!
Do what you need to do Papa. You have given so much to the community and are balancing so many things which I think I would be a mental breakdown by now if I were to do it - that I think its good to let the RUclips community know that there needs to be boundaries between the time you are investing with your family/life and content creation. Your grand creation of the magnum opus collaboration for Mathvengers Part 1 and 2 was one of the best things I've ever seen for the math education RUclips community. Do what you can do right now stick to the present moment. Recognize when things are chaotic, what is in your control, what you cannot control and hold and let go of what is needed. The rest will just transpire in whatever way the future feels like it. Good luck, kind regards, and most importantly thank you for helping us with math and changing our lives.
Sorry to reply to this - another important comment in concern there is security hazard. Wanted to take a look at the anime figurine link to see what was in the collection and the link takes me to white page with just 3 big lines of text written in German I cannot understand. Is the link functioning?
Genuinely thought the spacex stuff was a joke because I was too busy at the time to click on any of it... Sorry you got hacked again, Jens. Glad you're back though!
Congratulations to you and your waifu! 🎉💜💜 Many of us have similar burn out experiences so I definitely understand the lack of videos. I also had to slow myself down after years of dedicated studying while ignoring my mental health. Hope you're doing good too by now. Also nice slingy thing in the background 😳
you have always been the funniest and nicest math ytuber and i really enjoy your humor and videos. best of luck with the future, i hope you are blessed with peace of mind again, all the best to you and your family ❤
Hey, congrats on being a real papa! I've recently come to the channel after seeing some of your old skit videos, its a shame the comments are gone. It's a real inspiration to hear your story, hopefully things stay good from now on..! It'll be nice to have some videos from you again soon. For such a large channel its amazing seeing how much engagement you have with the audience.. You read and reply to loads of comments on here, its nice to see.
One of the lessons of life I learnt from my father (who apparently went through hell in his life )is to stay positive through adversity! Things will get better. If you were to plot things that happen to us vs time, it is like a sinusoid, there will be ups and downs. Ride through the troughs and thankful for little joys in life. You will make it through this. Congratulations on becoming a parent and welcome to sleepless nights!
If it's difficult to reach your goals, you might need to adapt your your goals. I was an engineer developing satellite communication equipment. I graduated with great honor. I had a good income, worked for big international companies, and travelled all around the world. Now I live in a developing country on 500 euro a month. I do almost only labour (manual work). I am not less happy. I would advice you to put the house on a halt. Finish it only to this level. Do the rest later. All the goals you've set for yourself are probably more than you can handle. But the thing is - they are often not necessary. Do what you like and feel happy.
I don't really know what to say, just hoping that you and your family will be doing fine :) I am just going to post this to boost the vid. Wishing you all the luck for your future choices!
happy that the channel is back mama flammy, i would've been diagnosed with boredom this past year if it weren't if your videos. Happy New Year! Also congrats on your baby :)
It's not directly related to this, however I'm feeling the same way in this last month. Due to personal problems and also lazyness I could be forced to graduate next year instead of this year. It's extremely painful for me, especially because I always put a lot of effort to study and pass the exams in the last three years, and giving up now that the finish line is a few steps away feels just unfair. However, I think sometimes it's more important to take care of yourself and take your time, especially if you're living a rough moment.
I haven’t been a long time watcher, but I value your context greatly. COVID had a lot of knock on effects. I also burned myself out, and man that was a terrible time. I’m still feeling some effects of it today, so to some degree I get that. Tbh, I prefer these videos where you speak about hardships. Ofc I don’t wish they happen to you or anyone, but it’s inevitable, and much more meaningful than some hype clickbait. Keep up the good fight, you’re doing great. We’re all rooting for you!
Man I have been watching your videos for a while, specially the calculus ones, and I just found today I wasn't subscribed. I immediately subbed. Don't be stressed about your situation, just keep going and one day this will be a bad memory in the past.
Heard of a few people getting hacked in the same way, Linus Tech tips got hacked not that long ago too, really glad you managed to get everything sorted on that. A huge shame about the housing shenanigans and the costs, massive win with the loan, Extremely massive congratulations to you and your new addition to the flammable family! (not literally) My sincerest well wishes to you! I love your stuff and your substance is outstanding sir! a real inspiration. Take it easy, we'll be here with you always
Hey man I know the feeling that you're ruining your entire life. I just graduated with a BS in physics and a BS in computer science, but I almost didn't. I had some serious senioritis and I consistently skipped a few of my classes. At the end of the semester there was one class in particular (unrelated to my studies - core requirement) that I thought I wouldn't be able to pass - I thought I would need to stay for the fall semester just to take that one class. I was able to clutch the other classes I was skipping by studying the textbooks and just turning in the homework but this one class had me in a bind. I didn't know if I would be able to graduate, and if I didn't graduate then I thought my life would be absolutely ruined because my family would murder me. Well I did somehow manage to graduate and now I'm looking for a job. No matter what happens bro you will get through it, and your family will go with you. And when I have some money I'll send some your way - either way I'll always watch your videos though
Ok, let me first say that I'm just a young university student still... but, from what I've learned, since we all eventually make what we think are mistakes, some of which that may be more severe, one just gotta keep fighting, and be like "now, I know". That experience basically always makes you stronger in the end. A big difference between a 50-year-old and a 25-year-old is, exactly, experience (as I implied in the first line, I'm even younger than this). When you're out of this bullshit that you've gotten yourself into, you will be an older, more mature man. So, keep fighting, Jens. Best of wishes to you and your family, Papa~.
Hey boy Thank you for you because you learned me a lot of thing it’s very useful for me My English is not good but I learn from you love from kurdistan is in Iraq 🇮🇶
20:33 (referring to your caption in the corner) People who are burning out often believe there is nobody who understands what they are going through, not even their spouse. Best wishes to you, all three..
Do the best you can , regarding the situation, but don't forget to check on yourself and give yourself time and space to breath and enjoy so that you don't burnout again! your daughter is very lucky to have you! i really like your videos and wait for the new ones whenever you feel like creating and uploading them. I have pressed the notification bell so i'll be informed! :)
Hello Jens, I am so glad you got your account back, and my word it made me beyond joyous to see your little girl! You must be so excited. I'm sorry about the shitty construction company, I've had a similar feeling of panicking for my life regarding finances. I have nothing nice to say, it seems like you're already doing what I did, which is to simply move on. On the plus side, I like your shirt :) And me and my missus still wear our QED hoodies. ( Done with post-grad next week ) All the best - Russel (Veemon).
So.....building a house.....having your channels hacked...... AND holding your first born...... Three major life events, life altering events.... Of course you were spiraling out of control and feeling totally overwhelmed. Control is an illustion. I'm an old man now and it took me a long while to learn that. It took me longer to learn to learn that I needed to ask others for help. I can't do it on my own. Take care of yourself, love those around you, let them hold your hand so they can help you. Some day, you will be an old man so enjoy the journey.
Papa Flammy is now a genuine Papa! Congratulations Jens. Ok, jokes and congrats aside, I know it takes some strength to admit when things aren't OK. I know what you mean about that feeling of dread, that feeling of fear and worry and impending doom. And you try to keep functioning day to day with that worry rattling around in the back of your mind, and some days it's not so bad and you can forget about it for a few hours, but it's still there and it comes back later. And the problems build and get worse over time, and sooner or later the mind can't handle it any more, it's overloaded by this feeling of worry. For me, the problems were my health and trying to get the treatment from the doctors and support from school/college/uni. I have nerve damage in my legs that causes pain, and the opioid painkillers make me spaced out which doesn't help when I'm trying to learn. I was referred for a spinal cord stimulation implant (think Tens machine but as an implant with electrodes targeting specific nerves and you're not far off) but the hospital was using covid as an excuse for delays before turning me down because "I wasn't suitable", had to delay going to uni for 3 years (still not at uni yet). Got a referral to another hospital while the 1st one was dragging their heels and that 2nd hospital thought it might work, so I had the op done at the end of 2021. After some trial and error of different settings, the implant works well. I'm still in pain, but it's so much better than it was. The Uni I'm hoping to go to has been problematic with adapting accommodation because I use a wheelchair. At least I've got a good OT on my side this time though, it's just another added stress that I can't do much about any time soon. I have A-level Maths exams in a couple of weeks. That's one stress I can sort of do something about, been revising and doing practice papers. At least with the implant, I'm not so doped up on painkillers.
Everyone's finances get away from them at least once, even those good at math! Its no different to messing up a calculation except the stakes are a lot higher hehe. You've got this under control, i'm sure the house will be lovely :)
please papa flammy, don't give up on yourself. We all love you very much, keep on doing what you love, we will always support you. If u want to make insane integral videos, make them, if u want to make wood working videos, make them, for me personally I dont five a fuck, i just like you as a human being, i am buying a couple of shirts for some friends and myself. Thank you bro, take care
Very sorry to hear about the situation with the construction company. I can relate; my parents had our house built when I was younger and they went through similar troubles with the company. I'm not privy to the details, but I do know that after all was said and done, they ended up taking the company to court and won back a good amount of the money they unfairly charged us. Whatever happens, I'm sure things will get better and your financial situation will stabilize. I know first-hand it's not easy, but it will get better.
Don't get so stressed , papa. You brought a child into this crazy world. We're always with you. There would be more sleepless nights to come, but you've to be patient.
6000€ for "Nebenkosten" is by far not enough! I calculated all of my extra costs in 2018 - roughly 80K. So house and property are excluded, also the garden was is not part of these extra costs, that is another story we did during the following years. I also had a lot of "extra" stuff in the house contract, e.g. toilet for builders, container for waste, electric supply unit during building, cranes,... So that is not in the 80Ks. I built with a cellar, so the earth digging is a large part of that extra costs, roughly 30-35k, but 6K would not cover even the installations (water, electricity, telephon). There are costs for Bauantrag (building comissioning), Prüfstatik (certification of your building plans according to static properties), Katasteramt ("house regsitration"), etc which easily add up to more then 20K. The "additional" costs (not in that 80k i mentioned above) we put into the house on the other hand where quite low, at the end about 25K - roughly 10K for painting inside walls, 8K for a nice 3m deept earthquake proven foundation under our garage :( and a couple of bucks for a improvements in the heating system, a balcony, etc and some minor stuff. At some point it helped, that we put some exta luxuary stuff in it in the first place - nice wooden shutters infront of the windows. At some point that had to go which saved about 12K and refinanced the other stuff. I calculated all the extra costs in advance and got that into the loan, then I "upgraded" the total loaned sum by roughly 10k and had about 20k in my savings. After finishing and paying the last bills I was close to zero - this is the story of every house project
I wouldn't have minded including the extra costs in the loan. If they would've just been transparent with us. But what they did is just borderline criminal, it disgusts me.
@@PapaFlammy69 da stimme ich dir zu. Das fiese ist auch, das Braunebenkosten sich irgendwie "klein" anhören - so nebensächlich. Wenn man da aber noch garten mit einrechnet kommen leicht über 100k zusammen.
Ich kommentiere jetzt einfach mal auf deutsch: Grüße aus Delitzsch, also ganz aus deiner Nähe! Wir haben das letzte Jahr in einem Rechtsstreit mit unserer Hausbaufirma verbracht und stehen jetzt mit ungefähr 10k € weniger und ohne Haus da. Ich hätte da doch direkt eine Ahnung welche Firma das bei dir gewesen sein könnte. Ich kann also deine Verzweiflung nachvollziehen. Halt die Ohren steif und gute Nerven und vor allem, trotz dem Stress eine großartige Zeit mit der Familie!
Signing a contract with an engineering company means the sum of money to be paid must be the final one as stated in the contract. If they "forgot" that certain electronics and paints will cost extra, it's their fault. Literally, the team of engineers must prepare a full, all-inclusive bill of materials (or BOM) BEFORE putting out any contract. At best, it is an error on their side and they are responsible for fixing it by their own pocket. At worst, this is fraud and they committed a crime. They lured you in with an acceptable price on the contract then surprised you with extra costs. In any case, this is not proper engineering. Sincerely, An engineer.
The building industry here in Australia is in total chaos too. It's very difficult and time consuming to get a house built here. No building companies want to take much work on at the moment because they have signed too many contracts to build but can't get workers and their own financial positions are shaky.
im currently perusing physics but i must say you left a very bright spark of maths in me. i occasionally go beyond the math of physics and study a bit more of math. its really fun to watch you. also i enjoy your videos with andrew as well so yeah you did make me laugh a huge amount of times. thank you for all that.
Hey! I've been watching some of your math videos for my degree in constructional engineering. I have a lot of experience in construction. I'm sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately within the construction industry a lot of smaller sized entrepreneurs doing single family home real estate development is uneducated in business. And often lack experience. The best is usually to find a local legacy/old company with a long positive history. But even then, in construction, there is unforeseen costs that occur, due to miscalculations and things not being predictable. Construction in general. The best way to do it make sure you have a contract with a price limit. Also another tip is asking for estimates from a construction calculation engineer. Good luck forward though!
I know this is a more serious type of video but I just couldn't help but notice that the joke on the picture behind you would also work with the sine function - Math Puns are the first sine (sign) of madness.

Get rid of this dangerous idea in your head that you don't want to be rich, never let anyone make you feel guilty for having wealth, you don't have to feel bad for getting ahead, if you don't you'll always be that close to being behind.
Wealth is not a conserved quantity.
Crabs in a bucket and tall poppy syndrome are not acceptable explanations. I'm confident anyone who put this idea in your head would not make the same decision if the tables were turned.
God, I hate "versteckte Kosten" so much man.. It's impossible to predict what companies you can trust
I think we should let our children choose their ocupation. IMO it really doesn't metter whether she becomes topologist, algebraist, statistician, geometer, or logician.
yup, exactly!
Hahaha :)
But not a physicist
@@neilgerace355 yea definitely not a physicist
my son is applying to graduate math programs: where did I go wrong?
RUclips did something helpful in a timely manner? They must've been hacked.
Seems like it, no way they get their shit done xD
I have an opinion! Very nice great success - Borat
Take care of yourself man, a whole community has loved your videos for years and it takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable to those people, I wish you the best of luck 🫡👍
Thanks Lewis
omg when he talks about his daughter, his voice even cracks 😭😭 cute as hell
hehe c:
Flammy, you didn’t lose control of your finances, the company you worked with to build your house bamboozled you into thinking the price was way less than it actually was.

So glad for you, Henry! Keep it up and keep rocking your studies! :)
@@PapaFlammy69 Thank you Flammy, love to your family.
The same happened to me, it's comforting to hear it happened to someone else although sad because I know how painful it is. Good luck
Maybe you caught a virus
the same thing happened to me, i failed 2021 and 2022.. i never felt that level of stress before in my life, i was in really dark place
Congratulations on becoming a father! It is an exciting job!
Thx Neil :))
Flammy, I hope you are alright.
I have recently been feelin' a bit not-so-well because life definitely can be chaotic and messy, but life always can get better, and I hope all of those in subpar situations know this.
Hope everyone is doing well, stay healthy.
Also, as an edit, it is definitely good to talk about stuff like this. I hope you are alright.

This is so strong... bro literally slapped himself and said "fuck it. I won't take this no more."
Truly inspiring. Not even kidding.
Hey papa, I'm sorry that times are tough for you. If this helps I'd really want you to know that you've been a great inspiration to all of us and especially to me. I did my math major because of you.

I do hope so, stay strong!!!
I cannot state how much I enjoy your videos, you are a great educator but also add some comedy to your videos, which is very needed. Thank you and please take care.
So sorry to hear all this, take care Flammy. I'm sure good things are coming your way. Take care
The most astonishing part of this is that RUclips gave 2 shits about what happened. That actually blows my mind. Like wtf. RUclips did something?
We love you flammy. Sorry for hearing that you had to go through difficult times. I wish you more strength and all the mess fixed up as soon as possible.
Life hits hard on everyone in very different ways and times. I've been running into troubles recently also, so I know that letting it out and be vulnerable definitely takes a lot of courage, but is also very helpful. Hope you are doing well.
What a terrible thing to go through! I'm really hoping you recover from this!
I'll manage! :) Thank you Rex!!!
Thank you for what you do Flammy, I am happy to hear Brilliant took a human approach to the situation as well, it's the least you deserve.
Huge respect for speaking publicly about this, I can imagine it wasn't easy. We love you flammy ❤️
I hope you have a better 2023! Best of luck to you and the new family! It's only 2cents worth, but my suggestion would be to do some lightly structured content, some series of things. This way, for many of the videos, you don't need a Herculean amount of creative effort each time. I really like the playlists you have on the second flammable maths channel.
Yup, that was also one of my ideas! =) Thanks
Props to you man, it takes a lot of courage to make a video like this and to admit when change is needed (in the same phase myself atm). We've got this Papa Flammy 💪💪
I hope you can manage everything too!!!
We'll always stand behind you, Papa Flammy! ❤️
Been watching your channel for over 4 years now can’t say how much I’ve loved your videos and always will. Look forward to what the future holds, keep it flammy
I'm not in the kind of situation where i can give money, but i can leave comments and boost the algorithm. Never thought of that as something i could do as a service, but i just realized that it does help. Best wishes and i hope your situation improves soon.
Thanks Tony
Hi, I come from Taiwan and not good in English, But I appreciate your passion when you solve exciting math problem. : )
And I hear some words about war, I hope you are alright.
It's really brave of you to make this video, and let me tell you that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I hope you find the change you are looking for in your life.
Life happens man. Sometimes you have to put aside the things you want to do for the things you need to do. Take care of your family and yourself.
Thank you for sharing. It's very refreshing to see brutal honesty like this in a video. Take care of yourself and hope thing pick up again for you.
Will do
You have become man is all.
Ive been watching ur vids as well as Andrew's since befor I started studying maths. I am now finished and I still watch your videos. This video makes me realise how much time has passed and the probem we all face is radically different from the problems we had years ago. All I have to say to you is that you have to do anything it takes to take care of yours.Your daughter and your wife. These are the things that matter and give meaning to life Jens. I wish u the best in life and congratulations to your household for welcoming a new being into the world.
What do u mean ur done 😂
Ur never done man, never
@agrajyadav2951 lol who this?
I mean as far as my BSc is concerned.
Now I'm thinking of calling it quits and just moving to another life chapter. But I feel like I shouldn't stop yet
Hey man, dont beat yourself up for this, doesnt seem like you had much fault, this shouldnt have happened if it wasnt for the scummy practice on the firms part. I love the work you do, you are a really strong for handling all this the way you do. Keep it up!
The tesla thing, happened to a lot of people and is really sad to hear that you lost some stuff permanently.
Im studying civil engineering (first semester lol) It hurts me to see stuff like this on a different level.
Flammy, first of all: congrats on being a father!!
About your situation: I hope you're ok, we can always have bad times, but just remember: life's just like a sine, we all have our ups and downs, and I really hope you take care of yourself, your community loves you, and I personally got through some hard days here laughing and learning in your channel.
Brazilian fan here, love the videos!!
Jens, your channel, along with Andrew’s and the combined advocacy for Brilliant led me down a path about 3 years ago. You helped me realize what I want professionally in life. Your precision and rigor in videos was so inspiring, there was always something new to learn; I’m doing well in undergrad and I’m surely looking forward to applying to graduate schools next year. Btw don’t even get me started on how addicted I was to learning for Brilliant. Such an incredible resource outside of assigned textbooks. You implicitly uplifted a potential physicist into the field. Thank you for being you!
you are the best sir, no one teaaches in an excited way that you do, i started watching you in 2019 and will continue to watch in future
Thx Kariken
@@PapaFlammy69 kartiken*
You're back!! No more SpaceX 😂
gladly lol
Massive congratulations for the daughter🎉 It’s wonderful that you’re now a father!
🙏Really hope your problems can be sorted soon🙏
I know that feeling of doom you are talking about. It is one of the worst feelings you can ever feel. You deserve to live a happy life with your wife and daughter. You may not think it much but even though you don't get crazy views you still touch lives from around the world. You touched the life of my friend from Canada who loves watching your videos and is an incredibly successful math major (like, having a published paper as a primary author beside his professor in his first year successful). Keep doing what you are doing! If things get tough don't be afraid to lay your head on the shoulders you love. If things get really tough, a quick google search told me that the German government offers free therapy services so that may be another avenue to touch on in the future.
Hey flammy,
dont have time to watch the video right now, but i really appreciate your content, it made me enjoy matha s a whole.
I hope you are alright, i saw what happened with your channel, and if you aren’t, hope everything gets better soon.
Greetings from a fellow german, have a beatiful day you sexy beast :)
let's say I was dealing with the German real estate market recently as well... not to the extent you did but I definitely feel you. it's just something you cannot win with. I think about it as a boss fight you have to get over with in order to go further. it sounds like you are already at the final boss stage so I hope you will get some peace very soon! stay strong, my dude, you are a qualified problem solver after all!
Do what you need to do Papa. You have given so much to the community and are balancing so many things which I think I would be a mental breakdown by now if I were to do it - that I think its good to let the RUclips community know that there needs to be boundaries between the time you are investing with your family/life and content creation. Your grand creation of the magnum opus collaboration for Mathvengers Part 1 and 2 was one of the best things I've ever seen for the math education RUclips community. Do what you can do right now stick to the present moment. Recognize when things are chaotic, what is in your control, what you cannot control and hold and let go of what is needed. The rest will just transpire in whatever way the future feels like it. Good luck, kind regards, and most importantly thank you for helping us with math and changing our lives.
Sorry to reply to this - another important comment in concern there is security hazard. Wanted to take a look at the anime figurine link to see what was in the collection and the link takes me to white page with just 3 big lines of text written in German I cannot understand. Is the link functioning?
If I may make a suggestion, I understand this is a math related channel, but I wouldn’t mind seeing you cover woodworking
We'll come to that soon :)
Congratulations on your baby girl!
Stay healthy Daddy.
I hope you have a better 2023!
Genuinely thought the spacex stuff was a joke because I was too busy at the time to click on any of it...
Sorry you got hacked again, Jens. Glad you're back though!
Congratulations to you and your waifu! 🎉💜💜
Many of us have similar burn out experiences so I definitely understand the lack of videos. I also had to slow myself down after years of dedicated studying while ignoring my mental health. Hope you're doing good too by now. Also nice slingy thing in the background 😳
The grind on yt is savage, and it mills creative inspired people into dust. ❤
I'm so thankful for all the cool videos!
you have always been the funniest and nicest math ytuber and i really enjoy your humor and videos. best of luck with the future, i hope you are blessed with peace of mind again, all the best to you and your family ❤
Hey, congrats on being a real papa! I've recently come to the channel after seeing some of your old skit videos, its a shame the comments are gone.
It's a real inspiration to hear your story, hopefully things stay good from now on..! It'll be nice to have some videos from you again soon.
For such a large channel its amazing seeing how much engagement you have with the audience.. You read and reply to loads of comments on here, its nice to see.
One of the lessons of life I learnt from my father (who apparently went through hell in his life )is to stay positive through adversity! Things will get better. If you were to plot things that happen to us vs time, it is like a sinusoid, there will be ups and downs. Ride through the troughs and thankful for little joys in life. You will make it through this. Congratulations on becoming a parent and welcome to sleepless nights!
:))
I wish you all the best
If it's difficult to reach your goals, you might need to adapt your your goals. I was an engineer developing satellite communication equipment. I graduated with great honor. I had a good income, worked for big international companies, and travelled all around the world. Now I live in a developing country on 500 euro a month. I do almost only labour (manual work). I am not less happy. I would advice you to put the house on a halt. Finish it only to this level. Do the rest later. All the goals you've set for yourself are probably more than you can handle. But the thing is - they are often not necessary. Do what you like and feel happy.
I don't really know what to say, just hoping that you and your family will be doing fine :)
I am just going to post this to boost the vid.
Wishing you all the luck for your future choices!
happy that the channel is back mama flammy, i would've been diagnosed with boredom this past year if it weren't if your videos. Happy New Year! Also congrats on your baby :)
My god
New fan here
Please take care of yourself
Probably me expecting you to upload less frequent than before
So glad you're doing better, i hope you keep improving!
I am seeing you after a long time 😢...So glad that you are fine....
Congratulations on having a daughter
I'm sorry for your situation, though, I'm really happy for you. take care -- was fun to solve maths problems listening to this
all the best chief for your work!!! wish your family greater and greater success!
It's not directly related to this, however I'm feeling the same way in this last month. Due to personal problems and also lazyness I could be forced to graduate next year instead of this year. It's extremely painful for me, especially because I always put a lot of effort to study and pass the exams in the last three years, and giving up now that the finish line is a few steps away feels just unfair. However, I think sometimes it's more important to take care of yourself and take your time, especially if you're living a rough moment.
Papa bless! 🙏 I've been in a situation where it felt like everything was broken simultaneously. But we find a way. Keep going PAPA BLESS! 🙌💪e☄
I haven’t been a long time watcher, but I value your context greatly. COVID had a lot of knock on effects. I also burned myself out, and man that was a terrible time. I’m still feeling some effects of it today, so to some degree I get that. Tbh, I prefer these videos where you speak about hardships. Ofc I don’t wish they happen to you or anyone, but it’s inevitable, and much more meaningful than some hype clickbait. Keep up the good fight, you’re doing great. We’re all rooting for you!
Pappa flamy, we will be here for you
a lot of us love your channel and we'll always be here!
Man I have been watching your videos for a while, specially the calculus ones, and I just found today I wasn't subscribed. I immediately subbed. Don't be stressed about your situation, just keep going and one day this will be a bad memory in the past.
You will recover and become better, glad to see you back!
Heard of a few people getting hacked in the same way, Linus Tech tips got hacked not that long ago too, really glad you managed to get everything sorted on that.
A huge shame about the housing shenanigans and the costs, massive win with the loan, Extremely massive congratulations to you and your new addition to the flammable family! (not literally)
My sincerest well wishes to you! I love your stuff and your substance is outstanding sir! a real inspiration.
Take it easy, we'll be here with you always
Hey man I know the feeling that you're ruining your entire life. I just graduated with a BS in physics and a BS in computer science, but I almost didn't. I had some serious senioritis and I consistently skipped a few of my classes. At the end of the semester there was one class in particular (unrelated to my studies - core requirement) that I thought I wouldn't be able to pass - I thought I would need to stay for the fall semester just to take that one class. I was able to clutch the other classes I was skipping by studying the textbooks and just turning in the homework but this one class had me in a bind. I didn't know if I would be able to graduate, and if I didn't graduate then I thought my life would be absolutely ruined because my family would murder me. Well I did somehow manage to graduate and now I'm looking for a job. No matter what happens bro you will get through it, and your family will go with you. And when I have some money I'll send some your way - either way I'll always watch your videos though
Wishing you the best bud!
Ok, let me first say that I'm just a young university student still...
but, from what I've learned, since we all eventually make what we think are mistakes, some of which that may be more severe, one just gotta keep fighting, and be like "now, I know". That experience basically always makes you stronger in the end. A big difference between a 50-year-old and a 25-year-old is, exactly, experience (as I implied in the first line, I'm even younger than this). When you're out of this bullshit that you've gotten yourself into, you will be an older, more mature man.
So, keep fighting, Jens. Best of wishes to you and your family, Papa~.
Thanks Daddy
Congrats on the baby girl! ❤
Thanks Duncan!!! =)
Hey boy Thank you for you because you learned me a lot of thing it’s very useful for me
My English is not good but I learn from you
love from kurdistan is in Iraq 🇮🇶
20:33 (referring to your caption in the corner)
People who are burning out often believe there is nobody who understands what they are going through, not even their spouse. Best wishes to you, all three..
Do the best you can , regarding the situation, but don't forget to check on yourself and give yourself time and space to breath and enjoy so that you don't burnout again! your daughter is very lucky to have you! i really like your videos and wait for the new ones whenever you feel like creating and uploading them. I have pressed the notification bell so i'll be informed! :)
Hello Jens,
I am so glad you got your account back, and my word it made me beyond joyous to see your little girl! You must be so excited.
I'm sorry about the shitty construction company, I've had a similar feeling of panicking for my life regarding finances. I have nothing nice to say, it seems like you're already doing what I did, which is to simply move on. On the plus side, I like your shirt :) And me and my missus still wear our QED hoodies. ( Done with post-grad next week )
All the best - Russel (Veemon).
So.....building a house.....having your channels hacked...... AND holding your first born...... Three major life events, life altering events.... Of course you were spiraling out of control and feeling totally overwhelmed. Control is an illustion. I'm an old man now and it took me a long while to learn that. It took me longer to learn to learn that I needed to ask others for help. I can't do it on my own. Take care of yourself, love those around you, let them hold your hand so they can help you. Some day, you will be an old man so enjoy the journey.
congratulation on the baby it is so heartwarming
Yooo Papa Flammy has gotten a real Papa
Grats with your daughter bro!!!!!!!
You got this Flammy!
Papa Flammy is now a genuine Papa! Congratulations Jens.
Ok, jokes and congrats aside, I know it takes some strength to admit when things aren't OK. I know what you mean about that feeling of dread, that feeling of fear and worry and impending doom. And you try to keep functioning day to day with that worry rattling around in the back of your mind, and some days it's not so bad and you can forget about it for a few hours, but it's still there and it comes back later. And the problems build and get worse over time, and sooner or later the mind can't handle it any more, it's overloaded by this feeling of worry.
For me, the problems were my health and trying to get the treatment from the doctors and support from school/college/uni. I have nerve damage in my legs that causes pain, and the opioid painkillers make me spaced out which doesn't help when I'm trying to learn. I was referred for a spinal cord stimulation implant (think Tens machine but as an implant with electrodes targeting specific nerves and you're not far off) but the hospital was using covid as an excuse for delays before turning me down because "I wasn't suitable", had to delay going to uni for 3 years (still not at uni yet). Got a referral to another hospital while the 1st one was dragging their heels and that 2nd hospital thought it might work, so I had the op done at the end of 2021. After some trial and error of different settings, the implant works well. I'm still in pain, but it's so much better than it was.
The Uni I'm hoping to go to has been problematic with adapting accommodation because I use a wheelchair. At least I've got a good OT on my side this time though, it's just another added stress that I can't do much about any time soon.
I have A-level Maths exams in a couple of weeks. That's one stress I can sort of do something about, been revising and doing practice papers. At least with the implant, I'm not so doped up on painkillers.
Keep it up, we'll both manage eventually!!!! :)
Everyone's finances get away from them at least once, even those good at math! Its no different to messing up a calculation except the stakes are a lot higher hehe. You've got this under control, i'm sure the house will be lovely :)
please papa flammy, don't give up on yourself. We all love you very much, keep on doing what you love, we will always support you. If u want to make insane integral videos, make them, if u want to make wood working videos, make them, for me personally I dont five a fuck, i just like you as a human being, i am buying a couple of shirts for some friends and myself. Thank you bro, take care
My condolences
Very sorry to hear about the situation with the construction company. I can relate; my parents had our house built when I was younger and they went through similar troubles with the company. I'm not privy to the details, but I do know that after all was said and done, they ended up taking the company to court and won back a good amount of the money they unfairly charged us. Whatever happens, I'm sure things will get better and your financial situation will stabilize. I know first-hand it's not easy, but it will get better.
Don't get so stressed , papa. You brought a child into this crazy world. We're always with you. There would be more sleepless nights to come, but you've to be patient.
6000€ for "Nebenkosten" is by far not enough! I calculated all of my extra costs in 2018 - roughly 80K. So house and property are excluded, also the garden was is not part of these extra costs, that is another story we did during the following years. I also had a lot of "extra" stuff in the house contract, e.g. toilet for builders, container for waste, electric supply unit during building, cranes,... So that is not in the 80Ks. I built with a cellar, so the earth digging is a large part of that extra costs, roughly 30-35k, but 6K would not cover even the installations (water, electricity, telephon). There are costs for Bauantrag (building comissioning), Prüfstatik (certification of your building plans according to static properties), Katasteramt ("house regsitration"), etc which easily add up to more then 20K. The "additional" costs (not in that 80k i mentioned above) we put into the house on the other hand where quite low, at the end about 25K - roughly 10K for painting inside walls, 8K for a nice 3m deept earthquake proven foundation under our garage :( and a couple of bucks for a improvements in the heating system, a balcony, etc and some minor stuff. At some point it helped, that we put some exta luxuary stuff in it in the first place - nice wooden shutters infront of the windows. At some point that had to go which saved about 12K and refinanced the other stuff. I calculated all the extra costs in advance and got that into the loan, then I "upgraded" the total loaned sum by roughly 10k and had about 20k in my savings. After finishing and paying the last bills I was close to zero - this is the story of every house project
I wouldn't have minded including the extra costs in the loan. If they would've just been transparent with us. But what they did is just borderline criminal, it disgusts me.
@@PapaFlammy69 da stimme ich dir zu. Das fiese ist auch, das Braunebenkosten sich irgendwie "klein" anhören - so nebensächlich. Wenn man da aber noch garten mit einrechnet kommen leicht über 100k zusammen.
Ich kommentiere jetzt einfach mal auf deutsch: Grüße aus Delitzsch, also ganz aus deiner Nähe!
Wir haben das letzte Jahr in einem Rechtsstreit mit unserer Hausbaufirma verbracht und stehen jetzt mit ungefähr 10k € weniger und ohne Haus da. Ich hätte da doch direkt eine Ahnung welche Firma das bei dir gewesen sein könnte. Ich kann also deine Verzweiflung nachvollziehen.
Halt die Ohren steif und gute Nerven und vor allem, trotz dem Stress eine großartige Zeit mit der Familie!
You will get through this, stem people are strong!
Signing a contract with an engineering company means the sum of money to be paid must be the final one as stated in the contract. If they "forgot" that certain electronics and paints will cost extra, it's their fault. Literally, the team of engineers must prepare a full, all-inclusive bill of materials (or BOM) BEFORE putting out any contract.
At best, it is an error on their side and they are responsible for fixing it by their own pocket. At worst, this is fraud and they committed a crime. They lured you in with an acceptable price on the contract then surprised you with extra costs.
In any case, this is not proper engineering.
Sincerely,
An engineer.
Sehr gut dich wiederzusehen! Ich mag sehr deine mathematische Fähigkeit!
I just need to say you are an amazing person and I will continue watching all of your videos, no matter what they are about:)
🫂Here for you papa
The building industry here in Australia is in total chaos too. It's very difficult and time consuming to get a house built here.
No building companies want to take much work on at the moment because they have signed too many contracts to build but can't get workers and their own financial positions are shaky.
Yup, exactly what happened here + prices exploded
im currently perusing physics but i must say you left a very bright spark of maths in me. i occasionally go beyond the math of physics and study a bit more of math. its really fun to watch you. also i enjoy your videos with andrew as well so yeah you did make me laugh a huge amount of times. thank you for all that.
Damn that construction company really Reimann summed those costs by nickel and diming you so much.
ye xD
Hey! I've been watching some of your math videos for my degree in constructional engineering. I have a lot of experience in construction. I'm sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately within the construction industry a lot of smaller sized entrepreneurs doing single family home real estate development is uneducated in business. And often lack experience. The best is usually to find a local legacy/old company with a long positive history. But even then, in construction, there is unforeseen costs that occur, due to miscalculations and things not being predictable. Construction in general. The best way to do it make sure you have a contract with a price limit. Also another tip is asking for estimates from a construction calculation engineer. Good luck forward though!
I know this is a more serious type of video but I just couldn't help but notice that the joke on the picture behind you would also work with the sine function - Math Puns are the first sine (sign) of madness.
there is a version of that available too I think :)
glad you're back man
Me too!
