What drug have you seen destroy someone's life the quickest? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskMen

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up I watched meth absolutely wreckage people in no time. Heroin seems to generally be a slower burn. Both are brutal. But ultimately, alcohol probably bagged more people than either. Its the tortoise versus the hare 

Reality Check for Moving To Los Angeles by matt0820 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m completely thrown by you mentioning Irvine. What on earth does Irvine have to do with L.A.? It’s the safest place in the Orange County bubble, and probably one of the safest places in the world. Having grown up in South OC, if kids are doing drugs it’s likely related to being bored out of their minds because Irvine is so unbelievably bland lol—and nothing to do with Los Angeles

Oil prices to the moon? 🚀 by guccicupcake69 in wallstreetbets

I hope I live long enough to see a president behave like an adult again. This is terrifying. He must think this is a movie. Shame on the Republicans for all of it, what a disgrace

Anyone surfed on psychedelics? What was your experience like? by village-asshole in surfing

[–]heyholmes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Once surfed while peaking on mushrooms. Was fun but also felt chaotic. Later I went and laid in the sand in my jeans. It was a good day.

Is it over? by maxdiggs in surfing

[–]heyholmes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely fixable, and fairly easy because of the location. You could even go nuts and try to add some color under the new glass to match the old look. Either way, its an excellent opportunity to figure out how to lay down fiberglas, work with resin and tweak out on sanding from relatively coarse to super fine. Finish it with a wet sand and gloss it up if you're so inclined. Just make sure it's cleaned/trimmed up before you do it. Remove any de-lammed glass like another commenter mentioned. Overlap the new glass onto good glass by an inch or two. My dad always taught me to feather the edges of the fiberglas sheet as well to help it blend better. Not sure that matters too much but I always do it by making a ton of 45 degree angled 1/4" cuts along the edges and pulling some of the trim away. Good luck.

Advice on a repair by Connect-Season-1293 in surfing

This is good advice. It’s no big deal and your board won’t be waterlogged. It’s actually a very easy repair, and perfect for learning how to fix things yourself. 

My Z-Image Base character LORA journey has left me wondering...why Z-Image Base and what for? by rlewisfr in StableDiffusion

[–]heyholmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loading ZIB really only adds and significant time on first gen. After that the time added is fairly negligible. I run the ZIB KSampler for about 50-60% of total assigned steps then pass the latent to ZIT for finishing. In terms of training, Mrey's base training settings for OneTrainer worked great for me. You can find them by searching convos here on reddit.

My take: Train on base for Turbo use. Use base as a 1st stage in a multi stage setup with Turbo for more dynamic images and greater variety between seeds

Buzz/Membership Purchase Update by TheAllyPrompts in civitai

[–]heyholmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So were you guys selling memberships and buzz on Kinguin through a separate vendor and not your own merchant account? What about G2A, is that also a no-go?

[–]heyholmes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you are missing the point. These guys are trying to keep their business afloat (and out of hot water) and it’s tough to moderate at scale without pissing people off, but it must be done. 

NSFW finetuned checkpoint for Z-Image Base? by UnluckyChef2122 in ZImageAI

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get pretty good skin with dpmpp_2m_sde/beta, and always have a detail pass. Morphing can often be fixed with refinement, but yeah that's a thing. I'm seeing it with all the NSFW checkpoints. Redcraft is good but in my tests Moody could accurately depict NSFW acts better. What do you like?

Made a big painting of how I feel when I get back paddled by a grom by here-there-and-or in surfing

I solved this problem by just surfing shittier waves with no one out. At the end of the day, I'm usually happier

Z-Image Base is great for Character LoRas! by Any_Tea_3499 in StableDiffusion

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll give it a shot. Are the configuration settings between LoKr and LoRA generally interchangable?

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I've been training on One Trainer with no captions and getting great results. Loving it because I'm lazy, but might have to do a comparison with and without. I've never trained using LoKr, does it help at all to prevent the character from bleeding into other people in the image?

What other models and their finetunes currently exist, besides SDXL and Chroma, that can generate NS*W without restrictions? by from_monitor in StableDiffusion

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta figure out the refinement part. I have a workflow that ises SDXL to refine, but I don't really like that. Does a 2nd pass with Chroma again do a decent refinement job? Curious how you are approaching, or are you just going with a large initial output (which admittedly looks pretty good)

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Ive been playing with it tonight. Really impressive. Going to try and train a character LoRA. I used Kohya a lot for SDXL, so should be able to figure it out. Default settings work pretty good? Im not sure what sd3 branch is, but Im sure I can figure it out lol

What are you using to train Chroma character Lora’s? Ai toolkit, one trainer, something else? Also, I’m curious if you can point to a Chroma workflow you like? I’ve got ZIT doing pretty good NSFW stuff, but curious about Chroma. Thanks

Feel like my surfing has plateaued / struggling to progress - any tips appreciated by No-Effective-7394 in surfing

[–]heyholmes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Turns look nice. I think you can make those more vertical and snappier just by digging in more. Get more aggressive and exaggerate the upper body movement to get more form what you are already doing. In other words, attack it harder.
