Anybody have a good resource that describes in detail how to build a Corsi Rosenthal Box? Note that I'm #blind. I'm aware of sites that show photos and/or videos demonstrating the process. Unfortunately, that won't work for me. I need a site with descriptions that are detailed and good enough that I can follow the process independently.
Getting some Blade Runner vibes from these photos of Times Square

I keep thinking we've reached the largest anomaly (in terms of absolute magnitude), but that's not the case yet. The #Antarctic departure continues to widen. Apologies if you are tired of seeing me post this same graphic.

@anirvan Thank you. I think I'm OK, just frustrated at the mess we've made of our society, in various ways connected to the incident (alienated & angry youth, car-dominated cities, etc etc).
All these news reports saying things like "wild fire smoke from Canada crossing over border into the U.S." should be a very clear reminder that climate change does not care about any country's borders. Everyone is impacted. It's not a Canada climate crisis or a U.S. climate crisis. It's a global climate crisis.
I love how so much of the AI debate is on things like:
* Will AI take people's jobs?
* Will AI destroy creativity?
* Will AI take over the world?
* Will AI be used to make people poorer?
And not:
* Will corporations that use AI get rid of people's jobs?
* Will corporations that use AI destroy creativity?
* Will corporations that use AI try to take over the world?
* Will corporations that use AI make people poorer?
Because these LLMs and machine learning systems and so forth aren't just wandering around randomly out there - they're owned by corporations. The corporations are the ones putting them to use. The executives that run those corporations are the ones making the decisions to pay people less, to increase their profits, to make creative people act as subeditors for LLMs.
It's the corporations, and the ethics-free systems that govern them, that cause these things. They're the ones pushing to have more AI.
The rest of us would be happy just having a bit more humanity in the world.
Pass it on.

Maybe have two bottles of lotion: One to keep in the creepy murder pit and one to keep on your craft table.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
