They say that 80 percent of businesses fail within the first five years. Is it any wonder how? Imagine, you have a dream and a plan, and then you begin to implement it. That’s when you find out that everything is priced to make you fail. And I mean everything. And there are fees for everything. Let’s take #Cox internet for instance. Their business internet costs more than double what I pay at home. Surely I must get better service for the money? Nope. I get not even half the speeds I get at home from Verizon. They also claim a four hour down time during power outages. Not that they can even really control that. Of course this is all in the contract that you sign, so they don’t bother explaining any of that when they are doing their fast talking sales nonsense. So now we’re stuck with expensive substandard internet. Of course there wasn’t much choice. They were the only internet company running through the building. And Aspyre Productions will attempt to upload full size videos and photos at a whopping 35mbs. (That’s what Cox calls gigspeed) That’s just embarrassing.
Meanwhile, trying to get Aspyre Productions on the map is proving to be difficult. Literally. We have to “verify” our location on google in order to make most updates or get onto google maps. But We’ve tried several times to submit a video with no luck. There is only one option, which is to upload a continuous video, and it doesn’t work. The other option listed is to do a live video chat with a person who can help. Except that option when you click on it, goes back to the other previous video option. When I tried to explain this to customer service, they were unable or unwilling to help. Now I understand why congress needs to move forward with this antitrust suit I’ve heard about recently. Google has gotten to big to care about its customers. They obviously need more competition.
Then there is the insurance, the various fees, the unexpected expenses, the loans that I’ve tried desperately to avoid.
It really is no wonder so many small businesses fail. Everything is working against them from the start. Everyone is out to get every spare dollar they have. And they have to compete with giants on top of all that.
Despite all that, Aspyre Productions will prevail. We will not fail.

More test outputs. I struggled to get the best picture quality but the overall composition is good enough that I'll share these results.
I'm finally trying out ComfyUI because sdxl works with it and it was trivial to set up the upscaling workflow I wish I could implement with the a1111 webui's hires fix, namely using different samplers for the upscaling steps. The nodes are intuitive enough for me, it reminds me of some audio modular tools I've played with in the past, but I can understand if others struggle with the concept. It seems to run quicker but I miss some of the advanced prompt tricks that are built into a1111.
Also a couple more pregnant photo Loras have popped up and I've merged them all to get a decent combo of them all, it seems to naturally do bigger bellies with less flaws though the results still need retouching more often than not. It would be nice to get started with block weighted merging, I can see how it would help to get the most out of the models and loras I have at hand, but I simply don't have the time.
Backgrounds are still usually nonsensical and idk if I'll ever bother to address that, style references actually seem to make backgrounds worse if anything. Actually SDXL seems better for backgrounds, multi-model compositions might improve the overall quality but take more time to set up.
