maybe I have it add cat ears with lightly shaded shades to the winner

When does the voting end?
I’ll probably change it later. Haven’t gotten a chance to work on it
couldn’t modify the original or use the existing thread. I regenerated it and the results are wild. This batch is straight up out of the most recent gorillaz music videos
especially these two
nice middle ground
I played around with it a bit further. I really like this generation Is there anyone with art/photoshop skills who can help me add a cat ear in place of that antler (circled in red)? I can send the source png file
played around with it a bit further. These are also acceptable
hmm this is a close second
this was a runner up
Man this post has been sitting in my drafts for a hella long time. I finished around the night I replied to that. Just got busy and never got the chance to publish it

this worked, but I wanted a pic that resembled my old picture, specifically the the glasses and cat ears
as well as
also this I really like everything about it outside of the missing cat ear
After looking at the outputs I feel this gets closer to the reference images more than the original
A post of the steps to get to this is drafted, I’ll post it when i’m free again

So turns out I didn’t configure EAC properly. I had been ripping to flac at a lower bitrate. When I did a higher bit rate there’s a noticeable difference compared to YouTube music
I used this guide for the noticeable difference

Wow this just makes pirating even more justified. When the experience is worse than piracy people will turn to the high seas
Can someone close to rossmann send that article to him? Because he can continue his series on justified piracy

I was looking for a recipe that was faster or easier than this recipe, as the main drawback of this technique is that I need to actively monitor the stove before the water boils over. The other is that as the water boils it gets vinegar everywhere
I was thinking of using my ninja foodi airfryer/pressure cooker/steamer to steam the eggs, but the amount of water and clean up would take too long. Fortunately I came across this article that used the airfryer
I tried test 2 and the eggs were as fully cooked and easy to peel as if I had boiled it.
Placing the eggs
After air frying
Setting the eggs in a cold water bath
Final result
The main benefit of airfryed boiled eggs is that it frees up time in my morning routine as I wait for my eggs. The 15 minutes allow me to get ready for the day, hop on a early morning call, or be out of the door faater

This was a interesting series that I binge read
https://anilist.co/manga/168354/100-Nyeon-Mugeun-Top-Chef/
Pretty standard manhwa op MC. Though explained a bit better in the universe. We don’t get to see the MC struggle (encounter a problem they can’t solve with op cooking skills) until chapter 43/44.
Now that’s efficiency. I usually just fall asleep listening to random 
and in the morning when I make my breakfast, I put on my headphones and re-listen to the same video to actually finish it.
It’d be really cool if I could have something like a sandwich maker make me eggs and bacon or scrambled eggs, without me having to monitor them, but idk about the cleaning process. For me, it’s really easy to clean the cooktop (that someone else didn’t after they were finished with it), cook, then clean my pan, plate and utensils, and the cooktop. But I waste 20 min cooking, 10 eating and another 10 cleaning.
Sandwich makers weren’t the easiest to clean when I used to have one (unless you were making just sandwiches and avoided putting in too much cheese). I wonder how well would airfried eggs come out (and how long the cleaning process). But another thing I’m struggling with where I’m at is space for kitchen appliances. I have to keep my toaster out of the kitchen and only bring it in when I want some toast.
My room mates have a pressure cooker in the dining room (since it doesn’t fit in the really small kitchen we have and barely fits there too). I sometimes use it myself, but many times we conflict when we both want to use it, so I revert to the stove (and I don’t have space to get a pressure cooker for myself). When I get to use it, it does save time, which I can dedicate to other things.
Do you have any tips of using appliances to not have to monitor the cooking process? What’s your most common foods you “automated” and make (relatively) often? Mine are stews in the pressure cooker. I sometimes use the stove, but the stove takes sooo long to cook compared to pressure cookers.
I’m mostly interested in the daily breakfast though. I don’t mind spending like 2-3 hours a week cooking once, instead of spending 30 minutes a day cooking different stuff. But breakfast is another story (I try alternating what I eat in the morning every other day).

The pics
For these eggs, the most cleaning I did was cleaning up the egg shells.
The most cleaning for the air fryer is a monthly air fryer/pressure cooker 15-20 min steam cycle filling the pot 50/50 vinegar/water (usually because I cook steaks and beef in the cooker). After the steam cycle, I’ll clean the silicone ring, the metal catch cap, and plastic catch can with dish soap + a sponge.
Every couple of days I’ll throw the stainless steel pot in the dishwasher.
Air fried meats other than eggs. I really like my air fryer even though I was intially a air fryer hater.
When I air fry steaks, I wash a mini grill rack (to get air on the other side of meats) and the stainless steel pan
As the air fryer heats up (hottest temp I can get for 5 minutes), I place the steak onto a 4 inch grill rack inside the pan. Once the air fryer finishes, I’ll place the pan with the steak on top of the same rack I used for the eggs
For my air fried medium rare strip steaks, I throw my pan and grill rack into the dish washer. Most of my time is spent waiting for the air fryer 27 minutes usually (5 min pre heat @max heat, 6-7 min for cooking (360°F), 1 min flip, 3-4 min final sear (400° F), 10 min resting).
Yeah I felt a bit of buyers remorse not getting the 18 qt version. Fortunately, I didn’t because the 6.5 quart takes up a lot of counter space

My roommate will cook ground beef patties in the steel pan, so we usually let each other know when the air fryer is open.
Up until now, I’ve been eating eggs or cheese sticks (when I am busy). I don’t mind having the same food day in day out. Before boiled eggs, I’d do a rice + kimchee + egg mix.
Though while looking for cooking eggs in the air fryer, this was a interesting article I came across

I saw the pictures, lol. I meant fried eggs or something else aside from boiled eggs.
Oh, that’s cool.
Ok, I see. I thought a monthly clean would be enough, but I guess it ain’t that easy. Still, if it’s just a bowl that can be removed from the rest, to hand wash or dishwasher wash, then should be easy.
I might be looking into an air fryer myself.
Thanks, m8! And Happy New Year!
