There are also a lot of these growing in the garden, which are very nice but are going to get mown over

I told you I had a lot of dandelions

Seems to be specifically downward-looking close shots of the ground or grass. Indoors it's fine. What a heap of junk

My phone camera saves a corrupt JPG if I take a photo of something on the ground, but it's fine if I take a photo looking into the distance. I tried turning off "AI scene detection" but that doesn't help

Reason for Starship scrub

The quantum uncertainty principle except of cheese: if you confine the cheese spatially in a container, the smell increases

Woohoo! Copying text out of PDF files and fixing all the f-d up formatting by hand!
