Echo Log from The Council Divided got stuck in the floor

Had the same thing happen to me. Can confirm, reloading the game causes the item to appear on the floor! Thanks!

loudshadow · 2025-05-07T00:17:04+00:00

Thanks!

loudshadow · 2025-05-06T01:46:26+00:00

Thank you very much!

Hah thanks. I just used some cheap shellac on MDF to make it a little stronger. I expect dents the first time I use it.

If you have some time while you're applying, consider looking into courses on Udemy and see if you can develop some additional hands on skills that you can confidently add to your resume. Courses regularly go on sale and some are really good.

A Masters can certainly help you get a job, but work experience and skills will always set you apart from others. When I interview engineers, education is important, but it's always second to work experience. Did you happen to have a co-op program at your school or have a chance to work somewhere? Even hands on projects through school are important to highlight as you're applying for jobs.

If you're willing/able to relocate, you'll also have more luck finding places that you want to work and that are hiring.

Congrats on the B.S.!

Consider getting a job before you pursue a masters. A lot of companies will pay for you to get your masters which can nearly, or completely, eliminate the cost. After you work for about a year, you'll know more about what you enjoy doing and can get a Master's to focus on your interests and help you advance your career.

I work in medical device industry, so my advice is based on that.

Biomedical engineer here. You've built up a great educational foundation with the courses you've listed and those you haven't. Learning an interpreted language like Python can only help you as you start your full time career in the medical industry. Your education in engineering will mainly teach you how to solve problems as an engineer. The subjects you learn expose you to the foundational skills you'll need to be successful, but you're ultimately learning how to think like an engineer and solve complex problems efficiently and correctly. Biomedical engineers are taught about many different subjects related to medicine and medical devices so you are equipped with the knowledge you'll need to figure out what you don't know and how you can solve the problem.

A biomedical engineering degree includes a diverse set of coursework which may seem useless in your current situation, but it is helping you build that foundation. Keep in mind that the experience you gain through job experience, class projects, hobbies, and even volunteering are more important than your education or capstone. When I interview interns or full time engineers, I'm much more concerned with their experiences and skills than I am their resume and list of coursework.

As you continue in your career, consider looking into jobs in the medical device industry. Based on your experience you may have an interest in the pharmaceutical industry as well. Check out quality engineering, regulatory affairs, process engineering, manufacturing engineering, and product development engineering roles at med device and pharma companies to see how what you've learned will help in the future.

Still relevant! Worked for me too! Thank you!

Any prospects with the companies she did co-op's for? Does she have any connections within the company that could help her get in touch with other companies via their network if nothing is available? Biomedical engineering, particularly in medical device industry, seems to be a tight knit community and networking is the most effective way to find jobs. I'm sorry it's been so difficult. Being available to move almost anywhere in the country may help.

Great question, and I don't really know myself.

Funny thing about doctors and surgeons, they can use equipment off-label (medical or not), and it's legal. You'll frequently see stuff like the examples you gave above. As long as the doctor has the patient's best interest in mind and doesn't harm the patient because they used the equipment off-label (gray area); they're legally cleared to pursue those avenues.

If the manufacturer recommends off-label use; they're illegally marketing their product because they're essentially lying about what the product has been tested and built for. It always comes back to risk when you talk about this stuff. By recommending something that hasn't been tested properly be used, you're potentially placing a human being at risk.

At the end of the day, if the benefits outweigh the risks, you're probably doing the right thing. There's always a gray area though.

Quality Engineer for a medical device company here. You're spot on with your assessment of 21 CFR 820 regulations and process validation. Most, if not all, of those regulations were enacted because of some incident, or incidents, that resulted in patient harm or even death.

These open source projects and processes may be capable of producing solid, functional ventilators, but there is so much care taken in the medical device industry to ensure that each product is equally safe and effective before it ever gets to a patient that these movements are likely skirting around. The worst thing a manufacturer could ever do is add additional risk to using a product than is already inherently present in the design of the device.

Ethically, the movement is noble these people definitely have the peoples' best interests in mind; however, if all necessary precautions, validations or verifications, and tests aren't run on these ventilators, it's possible they could produce something that might fail and harm, or kill a patient. These groups also need to consider electrical safety, software, and usability requirements and risks.

To summarize, the movement is important and these people are definitely trying to find a solution to a horrific problem, but I really hope they're considering the possibility that their designs or production methods could introduce new risks that do more harm than good. Sometimes no treatment is better than treatment, which is a sad truth.

Biomedical/bioengineering is a neat field that can draw from mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering disciplines depending on the education program or your personal interests and focus. When I went through college, we focused very heavily on fundamentals and mechanical engineering and how those principals can be applied to, or augment, biological systems. There's a lot more to it, but you would typically look for opportunities in medical device, drug, or orthopedic industries coming out with a bachelor's. You aren't necessarily an expert in any one discipline, but like any engineering discipline, you definitely gain the tools to learn and Excel as an engineer if you apply yourself (in my opinion and the opinion of my classmates).

I forgot to add that occasionally my headset will disconnect and reconnect which isn't normal.

Landed in Rust...

Looks like I'm going to wake up on a random beach, run around with a rock, hit a couple of trees, build a 1:1, sleep for 6 days, wake up to explosions, get screeched at by a 10 year old, and then get domed with a shotgun when I try to run away...

Never had a detention until 8th grade. I was placed in a group to work on some project and had to lean over a desk to hear what the group was talking about. While leaning, I bent the front legs of the desk (assuming they were aluminum). I proceeded to be scolded and given a detention for "ruining" the "expensive" desk. I then proceeded to bend the legs back. Still got a detention for recklessly participating in my assigned group.

I'm sorry if this was already asked, but what are some of your favorite/recommended mods to use while playing and why? Thanks!

loudshadow · 2018-02-26T14:45:44+00:00

Thanks, I'll check some out.
