I went to opensauce last weekend and here is some of the cool stuff I saw. (There was much more cool stuff that I didn't get pictures of and I didn't necessarily take pictures of the 'coolest' stuff)

#1 very big Gameboy color. Yes you play with the giant buttons. I don't know how tall it actually was I have been telling people 8 ft but looking at the video it might have been 10 ft.

#2 tricycle that can go very fast. "We got scared at 20 mph but it can go faster than that"

#3 video game with playschool steering wheel controllers

#4 this vehicle which also lit up and made rocket l launch sounds

#5 in contrast to the very big game boy we have these very small game screen earrings. The controllers (not pictured) were smaller than normal, but playable

There was so much other cool stuff that I didn't get pictures of or haven't included in this list.

Highly recommend going if you can afford it.

Fear not the author who predates a scene with “CONTENT WARNING: dehumanization, medical torture, gore, angst, hurt/no comfort, lack of bodily autonomy, and needles”. Because that will just be a mild angst scene at most with a lab back drop. But DO fear the author who says “lotssss of gore in this one guys” with no further elaboration.

hate it when people call ada lovelace the first female programmer, when in reality she was the first programmer ever. she wrote programs for a machine before it was ever constructed

I get the distaste for the dumbest 25% of them, but I do think powerscaling and whoWouldWin type discussions are perfectly valid forms of engaging with media. Certainly at least as deep if we compare to, say, shippers pushing everything into the same few pairings or people interpreting "themes" that are just starting with a conclusion and working backwards

[phaeton-flier]

Also the average discussion in these settings is at least trying to make arguments based on material and mechanical factors, whereas the alternative tends to be "My Blorbo would win because she's my favorite :)"

Meanwhile this was what various medical professionals in that reddit thread had to say about it.

They do not, in fact, love it.

[fittingoutjane]

The proof that chiropractic is an utterly failed medical profession is not that adjustments can cause harm, but that the profession has responded by ignoring and denying the harm, rather than studying it.

All medical treatments (other than complete placebos) have some risk of harm, but for real treatments given by real professionals, the harms are tracked, measured and warned about. If the harms are too severe, the treatment is no longer used.

One of my colleagues was a chiropractor. After a while he began to suspect that a lot of his patients actually just had muscle tears, not spinal issues. He bought an ultrasound machine, learned how to use it and how to read ultrasound, and found that to be the case. Between that and the constant pressure from management to get customers (because lbr, they're not patients, they're customers), he got sick and tired of it and bailed to become a sonographer full time.

And before people pipe up with "but my chiro is good, they have me do exercises and so on!" that's just regular ass physiotherapy. See a physiotherapist. A lot of people who sing the praises of chiros because they saved them from chronic pain would have gotten the same benefits from seeing an actual licensed physio, who can prescribe the same or even better exercises because they have an actual fucking education.

The amount of fucking charts I've seen where a patient went to a chiropractor and now needs a surgery is fucking insane. All I do is medical charts, day in and day out doing medical code. I've gone over hundreds of patients whole year of appointments. Unless the chiropractor is also a physical therapist, that patient is going to get worse and need surgery with very few exceptions. It doesn't matter when they mention seeing a chiropractor, by the end of the year they need surgery for issues that started after *shock and awe* a chiropractor appointment! I've seen patients needing multiple surgeries to be functional after chiropractors. I've seen patients lose their ability to walk because of chiropractors. And all the way up till they need surgery, through the issues piling up and needing more pain meds, the patients insist it's helping because the want so badly for it to be helping. I wish it did
