This is the hardest mode for Oregon Trail

Redditors, we can rebuild her. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic woman. Better, stronger, faster.

But I don't want to spend a lot of money.
coderman64@reddit
Certainly not six million dollars.

I can fix her

You may laugh, but I worked with the guy who wrote most of the code to help Nan Davis to walk. He wrote it on a z-80 board on his Apple ][+.

He also designed a lot of flight CPU boards for a series of fighter radar sets. Really brilliant guy.

and less passive agressive?
St_dude@reddit
Yes! Lets start by using that C-64 AI-software that was poster here a few days ago!

This isn't as bad as the creepy ass brain surgery computer at CHM.

Looks like it's from an old sci-fi movie

That's an Cybex 🫨
YogurtclosetOwn5322@reddit
Oh my god! I had to do physical therapy on my knees after running marathons, seasons of cross country and track and field on one of those Cybex Humac Norm machines. Such memories of when my mom (rest her soul) and a very cool Doctor (rest his soul as well) helped me out as much as they could since I ended up with a blister in the cartilage right behind my knee cap that was causing great pain and a constant popping of my knee cap with every step.

Is that.....Lucy Letby?

God, the flashbacks I had after seeing this image!
I spent a significant amount of time strapped to one of these at the Oakland Naval Hospital after I had a motorcycle accident. The absolute definition of torture.

Korenchkin12@reddit
So,is a chair at doctors office electric if there are wires? Mind blown...
Lonely-Artist5371@reddit
Better then her mind being blown.

This reminds me a lot of my first spirometry. It's a device that measures how much air you can move with your lungs in and out and how fast. The first time I had one done, the device had a hose with a special hardware connected to a computer running Windows 3.0. I remember that I was very young and told the doctor "oh, we have Windows 3.1 at home" and he was so impressed hahah
egomann@reddit
I think I saw Ivan Drago using one of those.

The worst part is you had to own two of these setups. One for left leg physio. One for right leg physio.
This company went out of business after someone figured out a way to do it all with a single setup.
juliuspepperwoodchi@reddit
I have....SO many questions.
m-in@reddit
A computer-controlled machine for knee exercise and assessment. Hopefully that answers a few. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear.
benjO0@reddit
yep. These types of machines were used in sports performance training centres during the 80s and 90s for measuring force production when doing leg extensions and leg curls. The last one I saw in person was during the 2000s and by that time they were using them with windows laptops.
Legal-Swordfish-1893@reddit
Ask lol. What else could this be asides from some kind of early 80s sports medicine?
juliuspepperwoodchi@reddit
I thought of at least a handful of possibilities and none of them were sports medicine lol
NullPointerJunkie@reddit
A way of obtaining confessions?
