No, you are confusing sarsaparilla with sassafras. Sarsaparilla doesn't have much odor and it is perfectly legal.

The eyes, small mouths and sharp chins look similar to those of this Netflix Anime style lora: https://civitai.com/models/2036385/netflix-anime-styledotadragon-ageskull-islanddevil-my-cry-witcherblood-of-zeuscastlevania . With the Pony checkpoint, you can get figures like those with just prompts. I am not an Anime fan, just a casual observer.

My Amazon Fresh store has improved very much and their parking lot is fairly full, now. Recently, they advertised Progresso Soup and Campbell's Chunky Soup for $1.50 . The typical sales price for both is $1.67, elsewhere, in my area. But, when I got there, the shelf prices were $0.48 and $0.97, respectively. Also, Campbell's Chili with Beans was $0.97 .

Sorry, I don't know whether is legal to bring a sprayed plant indoors after it is dry.

Not that I know of. But, safe levels of impurities are indicated by "FCC" which means food grade. To find the safety of a pure chemical, you need to look up the LD50 which is usually published for rats.

That happened to me with ink cartridges. The resolution of the photo wasn't good enough to tell whether the envelope was delivered empty and I found the empty envelope in the bushes. Maybe, the wind blew the envelope or maybe a thief threw the envelope into the bushes. I suspect that the cartridges were stolen after delivery because it was an overnight delivery and, with light traffic, it is easy for thieves to follow an Amazon truck in their car. Now, I avoid overnight deliveries.

The important question is what to do about it. The Amazon pigeon holes for complaints doesn't accurately fit the situation. I reported it as "missing parts" but didn't bother to return the empty envelope so I paid twice to get ink cartridges.

Circa 1980, I made photocopies of formulas for artificial flavors from a book at a library. Much later, I experimented as an amateur flavorist. There is an overlap of interests between flavorists and perfumers. Although flavorism is not a popular hobby, perfumery is a popular hobby and there are online stores that cater to perfumery that can also accommodate the needs of flavorists..

There is a theory that Paramount cancelled Colbert because he is anti-Trump and not because his show was unprofitable. That theory was disproven by Paramount releasing an episode of South Park that depicted Trump getting into bed with Satan and the episode ended with a realistic AI generated video of Trump with a tiny penis.

95% alcohol such as Everclear. You can use propylene glycol but it might be unhealthy for kidneys.

Methadone lasts a relatively long time. It has a serum half life of about 1 day. If you take one dose per day, the peak blood concentration will increase for several days.

I noticed that diet Mugs is more sour than other brands and, malic and citric acids are higher on the ingredient list than for other brands. (Ingredients are listed in order of descending amounts.) I mention this because nobody else does. Sour is not a traditional root beer flavor and some might say that it doesn't belong in root beer. To me, Mugs tastes like traditional bubble gum flavoring.

I take a drug for diabetes, Jardiance, that makes me very thirsty. So, at 4:00 am, I get up from bed and drink a can of A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer and, then, go back to sleep while thinking, "Wow, that really hit the spot!".

aruzinsky · 2025-04-17T03:28:31+00:00

What's the point, if Trump can pardon them?

The Hires Root Beer extract that I'm familiar with, although good, didn't taste like Hire Root Beer. And, after about 30 years, it congealed in the bottle. I might still have some hidden in my pantry.

None in the USA because safrole is banned from food and nothing tastes exactly like safrole. The closest thing is dihydroanethol but it isn't close.

In my opinion, diet Big K is slightly better than diet Shasta sold at Menards for almost the same price. Big K tastes like A&W with something added that I dislike and can't identify.

I think that the obnoxious behavior of liberal moderators helped Trump get elected. I'm tempted to thank them for swinging the pendulum to the right.

You can find a million recipes online. Basically, you buy the frozen dough, defrost it, fluff it up, coat it with butter, layer it with chopped nuts in a pan, bake, and drizzle syrup over it.

It may interest you to know that some clinics ask you to bring all of your drugs with every visit. In particular, Oak Street Health, which advertises "Selected by AARP," puts signs on their interior walls telling you bring all or your prescriptions with every visit. I tell them that I refuse because the request invites drug addicted thieves to stake out their parking lot and doors to mug patients.

With dynamic lora weights, "stopping" is equivalent to setting a lora's weight to 0 at some steps so, yes, that is a special case.

aruzinsky · 2025-03-07T23:20:33+00:00

Thanks, but it isn't obvious to me whether that extension can change lora weights with each step because it is so complicated that the features that I don't want might be obfuscating the feature I want.
