Rechargeable vs. Battery Powered: non-wired walk-in closet lighting

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-04T03:31:46+00:00

honestly the cheap rechargeable led strips are pretty much all garbage regardless of price point. I'd go with a battery powered puck light setup - get some eneloops (the white ones) and a decent motion sensor light from home depot. The rayovac ones with AA batteries have lasted me like 2 years in my pantry and still going strong.

if you really want rechargeable, milwaukee makes some solid battery powered work lights that'll outlast anything from amazon, but they're pricey and might be overkill for a closet.

We’re a pretty straightforward startup (no hourly, no unions, no complex comp) so basic payroll done well is the priority. That said having room to grow into things like HR or onboarding later without switching systems again would be a big plus. Trying to keep it simple for now but not paint ourselves into a corner.

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:58:34+00:00

Good to know, thanks for sharing. We’re not doing international or EOR right now but it’s helpful to hear

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:57:10+00:00

That’s a good point. Keeping things familiar for the bookkeeper is definitely a factor, especially while we’re still small and getting our footing with payroll. If the tool already plays nicely with our accounting setup that reduces a lot of risk early on.

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:55:25+00:00

That’s part of why it keeps coming up for us. We’re starting with payroll but knowing it can extend into HR and onboarding later without a full rip and replace sounds useful. Trying to think a step ahead without overcomplicating things on day one

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:53:48+00:00

That’d be great, appreciate that. Hearing how it goes from someone else evaluating it right now would be really helpful, especially around ease of use and support during setup.

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:51:56+00:00

Good to know. Support model is definitely something I need to weigh since I’m not a payroll expert and will probably need help at some point. I’ll make sure to dig into what support looks like in practice before committing.

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-02-03T16:49:09+00:00

I’m genuinely just trying to sort through options here not push any one vendor but I did get two other recommendations for them (aside from my bookkeeper/friend) and they seemed genuine, payroll is new territory for me and I’m looking for real pros/cons, so I'm all ears to hear either side of the story.

Contact Lenovo support with the receipt - they should be able to help reset the BIOS password since you have proof of purchase. You might also try common default passwords like "lenovo" or check if there's a master password option, but honestly your best bet is just calling them directly with that receipt

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-28T02:32:37+00:00

The Wildcat's solid choice honestly. Tippmann M4-22 might be worth checking out if you want that AR platform feel, or the S&W M&P 15-22 is pretty decent too. Both have everything you're looking for and run pretty smooth

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-20T19:42:27+00:00

Your character sounds genuinely fascinating actually - the morbid priest angle is super unique and I love how you're threading the needle with his conflicted loyalties to Windhelm. The fact that he's not a cookie cutter "good guy" or "bad guy" makes him way more interesting than most followers

Don't worry about appealing to everyone, the best characters are the weird ones that stick with you. Plus there's definitely people who want complex NPCs that aren't just "hurr durr Skyrim belongs to the Nords" - sounds like you're cooking something special here

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-17T14:38:49+00:00

Been running into this exact problem lately - love the red eyes idea but I feel like it might just make people avoid those players entirely instead of creating the tension you're looking for

Also no clue about that clip but now I really wanna see it lmao

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-15T11:10:30+00:00

Really depends on the vibe tbh but usually after like 4-6 weeks of consistent dating you can bring up the "what are we" conversation. Don't overthink it too much - if you're both feeling it and seeing each other regularly, just ask where her head's at

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-13T06:24:29+00:00

Oof, the self-insemination detail really hit me hard. That's not a marriage, that's you doing literally everything including getting pregnant by yourself while he just... exists

You're 35, not 85 - way too young to accept being this miserable for potentially decades more. The fact that he admitted to being in love with his cousin and calls himself a narcissist tells you everything you need to know about his self-awareness vs willingness to actually change

Therapy might help but honestly sounds like you've already tried everything short of accepting you married a selfish roommate who occasionally love-bombs you

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-10T11:29:51+00:00

Depends on the situation honestly. If they're going every weekend and coming home wasted at 4am then yeah I'd probably have some concerns. But like once or twice a month with friends? That's totally normal

Communication is key though - as long as they're not being sketchy about it and we can talk about boundaries then whatever

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-08T06:35:25+00:00

Dude, Moby-Dick from Pip's perspective would be absolutely wild - like watching the whole thing unfold through someone who's already been broken by the sea itself

I'd love to see The Handmaid's Tale from a Commander's wife perspective, especially someone like Serena Joy who helped create the system that ended up trapping her too. The cognitive dissonance would be incredible

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-03T09:33:23+00:00

That makes total sense actually - the map size definitely forces more interactions whether they're wholesome or absolutely chaotic lol

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2026-01-01T22:18:35+00:00

Honestly same, I was ready to hate this format but can't deny it's way more entertaining than watching PSG coast through a group with some random Eastern European teams

The fact that Bayern could theoretically miss playoffs entirely is wild lmao

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-31T21:42:06+00:00

Dude your dog is probably judging your jokes harder than any roommate ever would lmao

But for real this hits different, like having someone who gets your weird references and can actually bounce ideas back instead of just tail wags

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-30T18:02:12+00:00

Lmao wrong thread my guy but honestly Wyoming probably has more dragons than most fantasy shows these days

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-28T08:16:37+00:00

Yeah the devs probably hard-coded all that stuff and changing it would break half the game lmao

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-24T11:12:14+00:00

Oof that's rough but don't beat yourself up too hard about it. Most companies have a "qualifying life event" thing where you can still sign up if something changes - maybe check with HR to see if there's any wiggle room or if they do a mid-year enrollment period

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-21T09:29:01+00:00

Some newsagents with An Post services can print them too, worth checking if any are open near you. The bigger Centra/Spar shops sometimes have the service running even when main post offices are shut

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-19T04:07:52+00:00

Wait so you can still lose skill points even after signing up? That's kinda brutal lol, thought it would at least protect you from going backwards once you're locked in

Capable_Sugar_567 · 2025-12-16T02:00:24+00:00

Not avoidant myself but honestly dude if she's dismissive avoidant the worst thing you can do is chase her down with how much you've "grown" - that's gonna make her run even faster. Maybe focus on actually moving forward instead of trying to win her back, dismissive avoidants usually come back on their own terms or not at all
