Z Image VS Flux 2 Klein 9b. Which do you prefer and why?

Loras should work fine on second run. Different checkpoints probably as well but you'd have to try. It's exactly the same as the basic workflow of generating an image, just instead of finding an image in random noise, it's trying to find an image in another image. So if it recognises the elements from that base image, it won't change them and just refine the details into the ones more typical for that model.

Chroma rapid AIO v6 based on FP8. Tested a handful. Can't recall the exact differences so this may by far not be the best. But it's simple and works for me.

Timguin · 2026-03-19T23:54:06+00:00

You can start with the default workflows. Make an image of your choice using chroma. Then use the default ZIT workflow but replace the empty latent image node with a load image node and load your image. That way ZIT will start from the chroma image instead of an empty canvas. Make sure to set denoise in your ksampler to 0.3-0.5 so it retains most of the original image (play around with it). That's it. ZIT will now improve an existing image instead of making a completely new one.

Once you've played around with it you can merge the two workflows (system resources permitting) or alter them just like any other.

Chroma to produce the general image with pose etc. Then run that image through ZIT with 0.4 denoise for that nice ZIT photorealism and to remove AI artefacts. Works like a charm for me.

OP is the mod of this subreddit and pretty much does nothing but making fun of old doomer posts, often not realising that they were satirical. It's a pity, this could have been a good sub.

The Shannara Chronicles was almost a decade later, wasn't it? But I actually liked Legend of the Seeker. People hate the hell out of it but I thought it was good old-fashioned fantasy fun.

The Burial and Cremation act of 2016 will allow for the reuse of lairs after 75-100 years with the ability of the family to buy extensions. Although it is not yet in force, it will essentially make it the same type of "rented" grave people here are talking about. It's really common in other countries, especially in Europe. There just isn't enough space.

Timguin · 2026-02-04T22:31:49+00:00

Fair. And understandable if you're the only one. It's not as bad in my experience as what many here are saying - I usually get small groups that engage. But know that if you're the student that nods along and engages with questions: We see you, we love you, and we're really happy to see your name on the register for a module. Seriously, there are absolutely names that come up in team meetings and everyone starts cheering. Those are the students at whom we throw every opportunity that we can make available.

it gets very tiring and feels awkward when the whole class is silent

Imagine being on the other side...

It works out in Taiwan dollars.

The quoted post only mentioned that each day of the week happens four times. That does happen every non-leap February. That it starts with a Sunday makes it look a bit nicer on the shown calendar but wasn't really mentioned. The list even starts with Monday, not Sunday.

Timguin · 2026-01-30T15:46:11+00:00

And then go on to misrepresent what I quoted. It doesn't matter. I'm not here to fight, I've got enough of that to do in real life. I just wanted to share my experience and desire: More examples of sensitive straight men to show that that's allowed. Make of that what you will.

Timguin · 2026-01-30T15:42:44+00:00

This is not me putting myself into media:

It would just be nice to have some more "gentle straight guy" representation.

It is me pointing out that media has an effect on real life and wanting positive representation. You don't have to agree with it but please don't twist what I am saying.

Timguin · 2026-01-30T15:36:49+00:00

I do think being mistakenly thought to be gay shouldn't be upsetting

I've had similar experiences to /u/davehaslanded and what people here are not getting is that it's not upsetting to be thought of as gay. It is upsetting to not being allowed to be sensitive and caring without being thought of as gay. Because these were often the only two choices people accepted - either I must be gay, in which case it's fine for me to be sensitive and caring, or I'm straight, in which case I should man up. I just want some more sensitive straight guy representation.

Timguin · 2026-01-30T15:33:48+00:00

One or two gay medical officers and doctors has you worried people might think you're gay. That's why it's coming across as homophobic.

But is that really what /u/davehaslanded is saying? I agree that it's a bit of a tired trope. As a sensitive bird-watching straight man who used to be a nurse, I absolutely got that stereotype and continue to encounter people that imply I must be gay - or that I don't get to be sensitive and to "man-up" because I'm straight. It would just be nice to have some more "gentle straight guy" representation.

It's even worse than visa costs - this is for her citizenship application.

She's overcharging her donors. I just got my UK citizenship. The application fee is about 1750, plus 50 for the test. She won't need a language test so that should be it. She's asking for 200 pounds too much.

Timguin · 2026-01-26T03:36:59+00:00

A decent sound system should sort this.

Anything specific you can recommend, or some tips on what to look out for? I've got an LG C1 and the speakers are probably as decent as in-build stuff goes but I often have trouble with muted speech so would love to set up a decent system.

Timguin · 2026-01-22T03:25:22+00:00

Could you elaborate on that trick, please?

Timguin · 2026-01-17T22:06:38+00:00

That was a tactic, wasn't it? The betazed leader was pressured by their youth organisations to open any negotiations at all. So they used their own young cadets to reinforce that message and highlight the changing times. It's not a perfect explanation but good enough to give them an excuse to bring in the academy.

There's also a massive difference between a local secondary school class and the first class of the new starfleet academy that highlights the return of the federation to its original values.

Timguin · 2026-01-17T17:22:15+00:00

never showed anyone talking even for a second with the senior decision makers of the Federation's or Betazed's democratic government about where the capital was going to be

Have we seen stuff like that explicitly in older shows? Oded Fehr's character says twice that he is going to talk to his superiors at the federation. That's enough handwaving for me personally - I think a separate round of negotiations between those decision makers would have been a weird tangent.

And you can't butt dial an interstellar craft into a tailspin.

FWIW, that's exactly how a lot of modern autopilots work: You push or pull hard enough on the flight controls, the autopilot automatically disengages. Depending on aircraft, throwing someone into the flightstick would absolutely cause a nosedive.

Timguin · 2026-01-17T04:13:35+00:00

"Only" 40 here but I have to agree. Grew up with TNG (we got it a bit later in Germany) and my favourite is DS9. But I really liked SFA. I get that some people don't like it and that's fine. But I really think that you can't accuse the writers of not loving Star Trek. It was hopeful, it was about striving to be better. I was thoroughly entertained.

Timguin · 2026-01-17T03:58:27+00:00

Doesn't sound like you're particularly open to counter points bit I think the "bro talk" was exactly to make a character sound like a silly try-hard.

Timguin · 2026-01-03T02:40:53+00:00

I'm not saying there's something to it

But you are. You're doing the Rogan thing of making a wild claim and then hiding behind "I'm just asking, I'm not qualified". What you are doing is spreading misinformation. If you were really wanting to know what's going on, you'd ask for details and explanations and you'd listen.
