Could they have been killed in other locations and the plane crashed to conveniently make a public narrative on how they're no longer alive? The bodies could have been loaded on thvle plane and crashed intentionally for all we know.
I didn't give her a chance to tell the whole story, recognized the scam right away. The good thing was as soon as I told the winner's security lady, she was all over this. Compared to the heartland Walmart where these hooligans had actually managed to take my card back in December (luckily no money was stolen as I froze the card as soon as I realized it had been switched), the Walmart manager told me they can't get involved not help with any video recordings in any way.
These might explain the scam a bit better:

The excuse I was given was the driver is not accepting cash due to covid (this was back in December). Don't know what the new version of this scam is.
Card scammers
These guys are card scammers. The play is the girl will ask you to pay for her using your card and she'll give you $20 cash. The fake driver will switch out your card and hand you the pin pad with someone else's card. You enter in your pin, it'll approve it automatically, and now everyone goes their merry way none the wiser. Happened to me back in December, I luckily realized it in a few minutes and had by bank freeze the card. This was a few minutes ago in the Winners plaza in Heartland.
Just learned that you can generate image using text to image using base model then send it to img2img and use refiner model with around 0.33 to 0.25 strength.
So from what I understand, all you need is the base for A1111. If you're using comfyUI, might want to download the refiner too.
What are you using? With A1111 I had the same problem, had to add in the - - no-half-vae in the batch file for the command line

Is it the tobacco that's harmful or the added chemicals in there that are harmful?
They also mentioned that they are waiting to confirm if the lora models trained on 0.9 are working with 1.0. In my opinion, anything that was trained on 0.9 should not be holding up a major release.
Here is decent tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTPLOqAMR0s&ab_channel=SebastianKamph
This is bull in my opinion, 0.9 was supposed to be a leak, why the hell are they delaying the release for a bootleg (for all intends and purposes)!

Earth reaches hottest day ever recorded 3 days in a row
For four days in a row, the planet reached its hottest day ever recorded as regions all over the world endure dangerous heat.
As part of the hajj, the entire community travels to various points in and around the city. One of the points that's only for a few days is in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside the official boundaries of the city of Makkah. When they are in the tent (it's a fancy tent, air conditioned but with zero privacy with 20 other guys), the bathrooms there are communal, which in turn are not the cleanest in the world. Most of them are the eastern squatty potty style. Let's just say not going there for a poop seems very tempting. The counter to it is, most of the food there is free, and it is really good.... So it's a very delicate balance to say the least.
This is all speculation on my part, given the timing of it. For all we know it could be some weird kinky camping thing the guy is into!
He's probably out on the Hajj, they travel to some of the key points by train. The bathroom facilities are not ideal and that's why he is asking for ways to trim down his poop times.
If you want to see more about it, here is a more detailed video: https://youtu.be/WWCjjqEB-xg
Genuinely interested and want to get educated on this - is the idea that each individual has a male and female spirits (and gender is a spectrum on that scale)? How did the First Nations people determine how to divide the traditional gender roles, for example who the hunters chasing the prey are and who stays back to take care of the young ones? Or are these two seperated topics that are mixed up in my head?
If I had to guess, given the timing of this, he's probably on the Hajj. Around this time 1.5 million Muslims make a pilgrimage to fulfill one of the main tenants of the religion, to make a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Makkah. This is tied to Eid that's coming in a few days.
Where I suspect this ties in is, one of the steps in this journey is to stay in Mina, which is basically a tent city outside of Makkah. The bathroom facilities are lacking at best, specially if you are used to clean western style sitting toilets. It's not uncommon for people to walk back to their hotels and take care of business and walk back to their tents. Depending on where the hotel is and where your tent is, this could be a half hour to an hour walk. Let's just say if someone is very particular about the throne and is situated far from the hotel, fasting and going without food to reduce poop frequency seems like a very attractive option.
In my experience, the bathrooms for the American and Canadian tents weren't too bad to use in a pinch. And I was blessed that my hotel was only a 15 mins walk, so my wife and I would walk over every morning, take a nice shower and freshen up and walk back (there is a recommended time requirement on how much of each day you can spend outside the boundary of the city). The food there was too tempting for me to go with the no poop route this brave soul is embarking on. (For context, they would have fresh squeezed juices, lamb and rice dishes as big as small cars, teas, coffees, and the sweets were amazing.... And it was all free!).

YSK - you shouldn't avoid getting your pictures taken
For context, if you are shy or uncomfortable having your pictures taken, please reconsider! My uncle passed away due to cancer a few years ago and we realized that he didn't like his pictures taken.... So now all we have to remember him by are a handful of pictures.
