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

the pearly gates won't open for the twat who thought it was a good idea to put plastic caps on maple syrup bottles

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

neocities has an API for like pushing updates.. and I had to manually add a bunch of new photos because the file sizes were too big ;-;

PSA: if you can, spend some time on looking through the dark and inaccessible corners of your room, just to check up on things. i happened to find a colony of black mould just chilling under my bed. don't really wanna be sleeping next to that huh. my room smells like chlorine now
