also shoutouts to the motorola edge 30 for having even worse exposure time metadata. what the fuck am i supposed to do with "11111111/1000000000s". do i look like a fucking calculator

the wheel is extremely realistic. i've done nothing but bet all in on black for the past week and failed every time. i am over $1000 in debt

thursday evening. the maple syrup bottle won't give! the adjustable wrench goes into play. though the cap is strong, the certainty of steel is stronger, and the cap gives way to reveal the beautiful maple syrup. and in a horrifying twist of fate, i look down at my desk to see a thousand tiny shards of fuCKING MICROPLASTICS FUCK

I'm amused by you reaching for a wrench before you microwaved it for 5 seconds to loosen the sugar crystals. May your next syrup bring you peace and waffles.

i, in fact, did not try putting hot water on the cap. if i wasn't feeling stupid before i sure am now
so as a follow-up to the gallery thing - i've finished the infrastructure, now i gotta insert data for the 250+ images. with the amount of things i need to confirm and write, i can get out half an image per minute. this is gonna be fun.

the photos taken with the redmi 9 are especially cool because instead of exposure time being saved as a reasonable fraction, like 1/60s, the Redmi 9 saved it as e.g. 15001/500000s in the metadata. i am not joking
