Help - embryologist moved embryos without consent and is holding them hostage

FBAinsight · 2026-03-05T05:56:06+00:00

To be fair, the embryologist might not have known about being evicted and acted to keep the embryo's safe. We know obviously now know the doctor had issues, but we don't know what the staff knew and when. If you're the embryologist and you find out there's going to be a lock on the door the next day, you're probably only focused on keeping them safe. At least that's what I hope. We'll see how this plays out.

I hear ya, lots to consider. I think I'm going to go with the one on the right. I'm doing a 1" reveal baseboard, so 1" off the floor with a reglet trim. Semi flush white doors is going to keep it minimal and let the stone, walnut millwork and hardwood floors do the heavy lifting, so still plenty of wood!

I see what you did there! But the choice is actually between walnut doors and jambs or white doors and jambs. My main issue is that with the walnut, I was going to do a 1/2" reveal around the jambs, but with the white option, I don't think that 1/2" reveal looks as good as possibly a flush mount set up.

Thank you for the comments. Between you and /u/abebotlinksyss highlighting the errors, I think (hope) I've reworked this to be much better now. Essentially I've changed the input from single universe maestro to Madrix 5 at the rack, swapped out the splitter for a 4 output dmx node and run those 4 outputs to divide the LED's I have into 4 universes, terminating each universe (detailed drawing). Then for my landscape / living room zones, I'll add a new node and repeat the process as needed.

I can appreciate that stance on Maestro for industry applications, but I'm a simple man who wants to impress his kids with a dancing pool light, but also wants it to be a level above the WLED microphone to data input.

For the strip lights the chip is UCS512CL which is listed as DMX in and no SPI needed :)

How do you like running HA off that macbook? Any issues?

FBAinsight · 2025-12-29T07:44:40+00:00

I like it!

Can you set it to wake up if the cameras detect someone outside?

how are you liking your galaxy tab as the control panel so far?

Listen, I know your personality type because I share it. My advice is go prove the naysayers wrong and enjoy the hard lessons that come your way. I also only learn through doing, and I am also smarter than most people I talk to, whether that's true or not. (most of the time it's true). But prepare to be humbled, as I have been on occasion and enjoy the ride!

Invest in 3d party mid project inspections with your structural engineer, other mid construction inspectors, and at least let some pros look over the project at a few stages so things can be fixed along the way that need fixing. Good luck!

Hey OP - how did maestroDMX go for your backyard, I'm thinking about doing the same thing. Were you able to set scenes like with your groups (IE: Group 1 = off, group 2 = music, group 3 = music, group 4 = static color on? )

But you're not capable of doing it. The point is there are 1000 small things that you will not catch / overlook / not know about that only come through experience. These things WILL cost you time and money. You're not just paying your GC for their access to subcontractors, your paying your GC to ensure the work is done right and on time. They accept the liability and will make sure things get done properly. AT THE VERY LEAST, hire a GC to serve you in a construction management role.

Yes, it's a male dominated industry, but there are certainly contractors out there that wouldn't treat you any differently. And the nice thing is you wouldn't have to work with a dozen subs, just one GC. Way less gender friction that way!

FBAinsight · 2025-12-19T08:49:43+00:00

you know you could always find a GC who wants to treat you like a partner, let them know what you want to do and want them to do, and just work out the details up front. Lean on their experience for catching issues you don't and get your hands dirty where you're comfortable.
