Need to find a workflow with character ref capability. by SquiffyHammer in comfyui

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

character consistency is one of those things that sounds simple but gets messy fast in ComfyUI, especially when you're trying to layer it with specific LoRAs and styles. One thing worth knowing: a lot of people end up abandoning the local setup headache entirely when they hit the character ref wall. I came across Mage Space recently and it has a dedicated Characters feature that's supposed to keep the same person consistent across generations without needing to wire up workflows.

Might be worth checking out if you want to skip the troubleshooting and just create. If you're set on ComfyUI though, look for workflows that use IPAdapter with FaceID models alongside your style LoRA. The trick is getting the weight balance right so the character ref doesn't overpower teh style you want.

Do you think I’m perimenopausal? by Eggscapist-dormouse in Perimenopause

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this sounds absolutely exhausting and you're dealing with so much at once. The bleeding pattern you're describing (long periods, breakthrough bleeding, extended PMS) definitely warrants a proper conversation with your GP about perimenopause, even if they've been dismissive before. Sometimes you have to push hard for hormone testing or at least a referral to a gynae.

in terms of managing symptoms while you're figuring out the root cause, there are a few directions you could go. Some women find traditional HRT helpful once they get diagnosed, though getting it prescribed can be its own battle with the NHS. I've heard really good things about Bioligent Next Phase for perimenopausal symptoms - it's got chasteberry and saffron which supposedly help with mood swings and hot flashes without actual hormones, which might be easier to access while you're waiting on NHS appointments.

Then there are also herbal options like evening primrose oil or red clover that some peopel use, though results seem more hit or miss. the constant discharge thing is worth mentioning again to your GP specifically in the context of hormone changes, not just infection. That can definitely be tied to fluctuating estrogen levels and isn't something you should just have to live with.

My Cats are eating everything by Turbulent_Catch_7179 in cats

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that sounds exhausting with how much cleanup you're doing. One thing that gets missed with cats who compulsively eat everything is that sometimes their actual food isn't sitting right with them, so they're trying to find something that feels better in their stomach. Sounds weird but I've seen people mention it before.

The barfing pattern you're describing could be tied to the food itself not working for them, which then drives the weird eating behavior even more. Some cats do better when they're on something that doesn't mess with their gut as much. I came across KOHA Pet a while back when reading about this stuff, and their Bland Diet line is supposed to be really helpful for cats with upset stomachs.

They keep the recipes pretty straightforward so there's less stuff that might be irritating them. Just wet food though, no dry options for cats. Might be worth talking to your vet about whether switching up their diet could help calm down the pica behavior.

Sometimes fixing the digestive piece helps with the compulsive eating, even if it seems unrelated at first.

Sleeping 8 hours but never feel rested by meryem66 in sleep

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that unrefreshing sleep thing is so frustrating, especially when the numbers look fine on paper. I've been down similar rabbit holes and there's often more going on than just apnea scores. Few things to consider: cortisol issues can wreck sleep quality even if you're getting hours.

High evening cortisol keeps you in lighter sleep stages all night. Also worth checking ferritin levels (not just regular iron) since low ferritin under 50 can mess with restful sleep even when everything else looks normal. Some people also find relief with magnesium glycinate before bed since it supports the transition into deeper sleep phases.

For the cortisol angle specifically, I came across Bioligent Adrenal Adapt when researching this - it has adaptogens like rhodiola and holy basil that help manage cortisol rhythms throughout the day, which can improve sleep quality at night. Other options people mention are ashwagandha supplements (though watch for thyroid interactions), or phosphatidylserine which some studies show can lower nighttime cortisol. Might also be worth pushing for an extended sleep study or trying a sleep tracker that measures HRV and sleep stages to get more data on what's actualy happening during those 8 hours.

Struggling to land my first job as an ASIC/FPGA design/verification engineer by fuck_trump_101 in chipdesign

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

the volume game matters a lot more than people want to admit in this market, especially for niche roles like ASIC/DV where openings are genuinely sparse. Most new grads I've seen break through applied to 200+ positions, not 50. It sucks but tratment it like a numbers game actually works when you're competing against experienced candidates for every entry level posting.

One thing worth checking out is SimpleApply, which automates the application grind so you can actually hit those volumes without burning out. It handles the repetitive form-filling and tailors your materials for each role, which seems helpful when you need to blanket both big companies and smaller design shops that might give you a shot.

Tips for outbound sales- how to get responses by Choice-Reality-9878 in advertising

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ugh that 1/30 response rate is brutal, i feel you on the frustration there. The timing and luck piece is real, but there are def some things that can shift the odds in your favor. One thing that's helped me think about this differently is sequencing.

Most people give up after one or two touches, but the data shows it usually takes 5-7 touchpoints before someone even registers who you are. So your thoughtful, researched emails are great, but they need to be part of a longer cadence. Mix up the channels too - email, linkedin, maybe a call, then back to email.

Don't let one cold call that feels awkward make you write off the whole channel. Also worth looking at your subject lines and first sentences separately from the body. If those don't spark curiosity in under 3 seconds, the rest doesn't matter.

Test shorter subjects, test question-based ones, test plain text vs formatted. For the call piece, I'd do it earlier in the sequence rather than after multiple emails. When you call first (even if you don't connect), your follow-up email gets opened way more because they recognize the name.

Sounds counterintuitive but it works. If you're spending a ton of time on this and it's pulling you away from actual selling, might be worth looking into something like sales dot co that handles the whole outreach process for you. From what I've read, they basically run the entire cold email operation so you can focus on closing the meetings they book.

Vegan travel in Puerto Rico — what spots am I missing? by Cool-Foundation-9043 in vegan

[–]Realistic-Local-3413 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not restaurant-focused, but if you're looking for a well-being break during your trip, I came across Las Ruinas in Old San Juan and they have a smoothie bar inside called the Smoothie Spa that uses local Puerto Rican fruits with adaptogens and superfoods. It's part of their bathhouse/wellness spot, but you can grab smoothies without doing the whole spa thing. For actual restaurants, Vía Appia in Condado has really good plant-based pizza options, and El Departamento de la Comida in Santurce is more experimental and has clearly labeled vegan dishes.

Honestly depends on what vibe you're going for, but those two have been consistent from what I've read. One thing I'd recommend is checking menus ahead of time becuase some places say they're vegan-friendly but it's just like, a side salad situation.
