I have a profile up on linkedIn which I update occasionally, and never see any of the posts or social media aspects of the site. I'm not sure if another site is needed, you can just not engage with it.

One PDF is causing the issue. When I remove it I get another issue, `No such file or directory: 'database_store/file_names.pkl'`. Opened up an issue in GitHub so as not to pollute this thread.

It loves giving me 100 of someone. I'm wondering if there are sticker pack-like images in it's training set. And then, yes, the background removal takes away half of these and leaves smoke.

I don't think most people think of dinner parties as needing to fit a specific "format," so maybe that's why Google is useless here. Most people (I think) consider dinner parties in roughly the same way: a gathering a fr
