@staticben95 @anycubic3dprint I pointed out that I don't just fire off a tiny pre-sliced figurine; instead I print large, high-density models. Their response:

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

Anycubic: Can we send you a review unit?

Me: Are you familiar with my presentation style and what happens when a product fails on its claims?

Anycubic: *crickets*

So, there you have it: Fastest round-about review ever -- didn't even cost me anything. Anybody else?

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@REM__BEN First day of Galilean relativity? 🤣

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

Well yeah; it's money. What I'm curious about is how much, and for what? In other words, is it (perhaps) to overlook things like how the machine performs at capacity? Super-common failure point in my own tests. Yet it seems like the paid reviewers unanimously avoid large, high-density projects 🤔

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@Booleans_Things After nearly 20 years on YouTube, I'd STILL enjoy a glimpse behind that curtain. Ironically, those who operate from behind it seem very guarded about their incentives; very circumspect in general.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@JohnBeardon Yep; moving away from 2.4GHz entirely. Z-Wave LR looks promising.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

So, Zigbee is shit. Time to try Z-Wave. (Anybody even know what I'm talking about?)

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

So far, this has to be the closest that a speaker came to being named after me. Try harder 🤣

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

If you noclip through the ground at this exact spot, you'll find that it's actually a complete oval 🤣

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

Anyone else rocking out to the new BoC album this morning?

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@effxzzzyy Clearly not a fan of "Womyn of Antioch" yet she aims her frustration at men 🤣

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@Mrdecent000 I'm convinced that people move into HOA communities specifically to participate in petty conflict. Seems entirely too easy / affordable to settle down elsewhere.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@Rainmaker1973 More like Steve Jobs on the year 1994. A lot has changed in just these 3 short decades, including the baseline for altruism and reciprocity.

@J3ther I made them: https://t.co/pQvt9LulB7

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

Seriously ... what's with all the lemons here of late?

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@staticben95 No kidding. I just parsed the entire YouTube Creator Academy without a single reference to cash arrangements with manufacturers.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

According to Grok, AdSense is only the tip of the iceberg, and many of the established reviewers proactively solicit cash payments on top of the already free gear. Can anyone with receipts attest to this ... or is it taboo 👀

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@Booleans_Things @joeltelling Sampling is what you do when you suck at sound design.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

I like e-mail. E-mail is fun.

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

@joeltelling Right? Kind of hard to violate a copyright when I compose all my own background music. Best of luck, though 🤣

[Pete Kulicki @HexiBase]

It's been a relaxing 4-5 months since I was approached to showcase anything new. Went to get some filament for an off-camera project, and suddenly there's an X2D chilling under my box of Tectonic drivers.
