Yeah, infants are cute and I loved my kid when he was that age, but I unequivocally prefer the toddler stage. He's a person now. I think the 6- to 8-month range was when he started to get more interesting. All of our friends who are parents seem to have similar feelings. That said, there are a ton of special "firsts" that you can look forward to, and they're pretty enjoyable.

Gotcha; well I laughed anyway :)

Ok, I got an imgur warning for erotic or adult imagery. I'm assuming that was intentional, OP, because it was a dangerously good deal? The planes look great!

There's a way to do this in Auto1111 (sort of):

  1. generate an image with part of your steps
  2. Enable openpose
  3. Add the partially generated pixel image
  4. Set controlnet to start at the halfway point, etc.
  5. re-generate the image with the same settings

This feels pretty janky, though. I think you could do it better (and in one shot) in comfyUI by processing the partially generated latent, feeding that result to a controlnet preprocessor node, then adding the resulting controlnet conditioning plus the original half-finished latent to a new ksampler node. You'd then finish generation (continuing from the original latent) at whatever step you split off.

Yeah, we've gone back and forth. The leaf actually has a few nice amenities as a 2nd car (heated seats, back row is easier for a kid's car seat) and the range is irrelevant (it's used for 5-mile trips or less). The volt doesn't have heated seats, is worth a lot more when it comes it financing a new car, and has an engine that still needs annual maintenance. That's why we're still leaning towards replacing it over the leaf.

We're driving an old Leaf (2013) and a 2018 Volt. We kind of want to swap the Volt for a full EV (to get better EV range, ditch the gas engine, and get a little more space), but manufacturers seem to resent selling sub-$50k EVs except for the Bolt EUV... which isn't really an upgrade over the Volt for our needs. I'll keep waiting I guess.

How are you liking the ID.4? I have a colleague who bought one (it wasn't really the right vehicle for his use case) and who didn't love it. It seems like a good vehicle, but (like most EVs) is hard to find cheap.

Yeah, I never had good luck with jerboa... it worked sometimes, but I was mostly using liftoff (which is pretty good, in my opinion).

This was my feeling on it, too. Way more depth than I first expected. It felt like a spiritual successor to TNG.

Agreed on the Auto1111 UI; I like the idea of ComfyUI but making quick changes + testing rapidly feels like a pain. I always feel like I must be doing something wrong. I do appreciate how easy it is to replicate a workflow, though.

What are you running SDXL in? I tried it in comfy UI yesterday and it seems really powerful, but it seems like it always takes a long time to mess around with images. I haven't tried it in SD.Next or Auto1111 yet.

LOL. I didn't immediately get this one. Well done.
