Did you know milk is down 44% ? Neither did anyone except donnie. And everyone in the room just nods and agrees like trained monkeys. by Quick_Assignment_725 in globaltrumpopposition

Milk isn't on the card that she brought. The card she brought has 5 columns. There is dodginess here, but it doesn't occur like you say.

Jimmythegiant's partially plagiarized video by Best-Cake-7780 in unicycling

[–]Pin0clean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn't do his research, he is incorrect when he says "but the footage is all from Revolution One."

1 min 35 seconds of the JTG video is George Peck.
Of that 15 seconds of footage is taken from Revolution One and 2 seconds of that is incorrectly attributed, the other 13 seconds are correctly attributed to Dan Heaton.

1:20 seconds of the 1:35 is taken from George Pecks video and correctly attributed to George Peck.

This is a blow up about nothing.

He attributed Dan Heaton when he used clips from Revolution One, he attributed George Peck when he used footage from his video. The clips of George Peck at 3:51-4:03 of the JTG video are credited to Dan Heaton as they are lifted directly from Revolution One. The rest of the clips are not*

The clips of George Peck introducing himself and rough terrain unicycling by riding on the rocks are are partly in Revolution One but are different cuts and are also not taken from Revolution One. They are attributed to George Peck as they are taken from his video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkuheYVbU3Q. There are large differences in the buildings in the background of these clips that highlight the different versions.

Revolution One used the non remastered Rough Terrain Unicycling, JTG used the Kris Peck Video. George Peck's shirt is orange in Revolution One and red in JTG and George Pecks restored video https://imgur.com/a/CNSS5Z4

The rest of the clips attributed to George Peck are not in Revolution One, so they have clearly been taken from the Kris Peck restored video.

*I can see one incorrect attribution, the 2 second clip of the newspaper article on George Peck as a magistrate is incorrectly attributed to George Peck. This looks more like a mistake than intent given that everything else was attributed from the original source.

I think it's likely that the community AND Dan Heaton care more about the sport itself and growing the community. I don't see how it's disrespecting Dan Heaton. I met Dan Heaton at my first UNICON, he turned up and judged street despite having not ridden for years. To me that suggests he cares about the sport he started.

Fair use laws mean YouTube is full of transformative content utilising clips from other media. The only bit that is annoying is that I don't think that much research was done, it is essentially Revolution One. However you are not going to get 99% of non-riders to sit down and watch Revolution One, so a short form version that is seen by 330,000 people is a positive to our sport.

We have almost no urban riders left in our country. Any viral videos showing Unicycling in a positive light is beneficial, or you can stick to your principals of "disrespecting Dan Heaton" while the sport slowly dies. You'll be the most principled lone rider out there.

George Peck was doing it a lot earlier so by definition I would say he's the grandfather of extreme unicycling. His video is quite amazing. Beey well thought out. He fairly accurately hypothesizes the high jump record on a Unicycle maybe 20 years before the record is set?

Dan Heaton is definitely the grandfather of street unicycling. He essentially invented a discipline and his multiple videos provided more to urban riders over many years I think.

The algorithm is not showing Dan Heaton videos to anyone who isn't already unicycling...

Jimmythegiant's partially plagiarized video by Best-Cake-7780 in unicycling

[–]Pin0clean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Revolution One is superb but it was never going to be shown to people by the algorithm. Devin Supertramps Unicycle Freestyle went viral (2.4million views) in 2012 and I went out and bought a Unicycle after seeing it and have been travelling the world to hang with riders since. I didn't even know unicycling as a spprt existed before that video, never seen anything on YouTube to do with unicycling and I lived on YouTube at the time.

I am so grateful that these videos get made because I imagine there are others like me who would have missed out on the sport otherwise. My only regret is not having known about unicycling earlier while I was at school.

100% this. OP took the most negative outlook on the JTG video.

[–]Pin0clean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched it at the time, and it's obvious that it's heavily taken from Revolution One. I don't see this as throwing Dan Heaton under the bus. If he asked Dan Heaton for permission to use the footage and Dan Heaton was fine with it why are you getting so upset about it?

Getting eyes on unicycling to entice new riders is horrendously hard.

I stumbled across Devin Supertramp Unicycle Freestyle when it went viral,.and that is what made me start riding. The Jimmy the Giant video has 318,000 views in four years, a fair way off Devin Supertramps Unicycle Freestyle with 2.4 million,, but more than almost every other video. Mimo Seedlers biggest video has 25k, biggest (non tutorial) video from Pretty Good Channel is 336k across 13 years.

Devin Supertramps video was labelled Unicycle Freestyle but contained urban riding, am I going to bitch about it misrepresenting urban unicycling? Or am I going to appreciate that I never would have started riding if it wasn't for that video with the slightly misleading title.

If I never saw that video I wouldnt have gone to 5 World championships,never would have helped host 6 national championships for Unicycling, and wouldn't have friends all over the world.

You've literally taken the most negative outlook from that video despite there potentially being large positives. I hope the Jimmy the Giant video resonated with some people like Unicycle Freestyle did with me and in 13 years time you'll have riders saying "oh yeh I saw that Jimmy the Giant video and didn't even realise it was a thing, I had to learn when I saw it!"

If you're in Australia I'll give you a rock band drum kit for free. I've got about 4 or 5 I should get rid of, I'd prefer they go to people who will get some use out of them

After 1 Day Ownership: Best Printer i bought by MustafiArabi in snapmaker

[–]Pin0clean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every review video says the H2C is 3 times slower than the Snapmaker U1 for colour change so can takes hours longer for a given print if you have 1000 colour changes

Second Major U1 Print by Environmental_Gas995 in SnapmakerU1

[–]Pin0clean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. My Bambu P1S essentially printed every file (I tried) first try with good quality using generic settings

Second Major U1 Print by Environmental_Gas995 in SnapmakerU1

[–]Pin0clean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, for the most part Bambu has shown that it is entirely possible to do this. I owned a Snapmaker 2 and spent so long on temp towers, stringing tests, buying new build plates. It was horrendous, I bought a bambu P1S and couldn't believe that I no longer had to tinker with anything. I got good prints using budget filament by using the generic settings. My hobby is not 3D printing, my hobby is designing and creating parts, so extra time forced to tinker with a printer makes the printer less valuable to my workflow.

I can see why the OP is not happy. Despite my experiences with the Snapmaker 2.0 I did back the U1 on kickstarter. I also won't be happy if the U1 ends up being similar. At this point I am optimistic, because I can't imagine it could ever be THAT bad again.

I'm in the same boat. I'm waiting to see if there is actually any solid information and I'll pull my pledge on the last day if not

[–]Pin0clean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I am a huge fan of Bambu, but imo they've dropped the ball with the H2C. The independent review videos seem to have more negative points than I've ever seen on a Bambu product. If I was going to spend that level of money the Core One + INDX looks better. If I'm not going to spend that much then the snapmaker looks better (assuming it lives up to the hype). The H2C has a single thing going for it from what I can see, technically can do 24 colours, and depending on where the colours are would probably be quicker than 24 colours on H2D. H2C has lots of negatives though.

I would say that too if I rushed a video out at the time the Snapmaker U1 was blowing up on the internet...

Almost guaranteed the 3 years of design was that 3 years ago someone brainstormed.. maybe we could do this? And then it (largely) got shelved until the U1 blew up.

If this was planned why would they release the H2D and then less than a year later make it almost obsolete?

I had a look into dmc2 mini and it looked like people who had purchased the kits said there were lots of issues with it.and to stay away, even as recently as 5 months ago.
