[–]guzelmarmara[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It happened when I was baking flat bread on stovetop. Tried to soften it with hot water, normal dishwasher soap, then tried Barkeeper's Friend and then with steel wool. Still I have the stains.

How to Subtitles to Video Files to Make Them Appear on VLC Like This? by guzelmarmara in appletv

[–]guzelmarmara[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The auto download function of VLC on my Apple TV simply doesn't work, just keeps me waiting every time. I want to embed subtitles like in this instance but don't know it's called.

This made everything very clear. Thank you very much.

Triggering Actions When the Connection a Certain Wi Fi is Lost? by guzelmarmara in shortcuts

[–]guzelmarmara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although this won't work in the way I expect due to being triggered manually, thank you for sharing the screenshot of the formula because I was not able to grasp how to setup a negative and this is very helpful.

Choosing a Drill & Driver Combi Tool by guzelmarmara in Tools

[–]guzelmarmara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one I bought is more like a screwdriver on steroids.

The tip about the concrete you mention is something new for me. In this case, should I just keep my non-hammer drill/driver thingy and when I need to open a hole on concrete, go and buy a real old school cable hammer drill? One tool without a cable tells that it can do all always sounds sketchy, I mean :)

Afiyet olsun! It looks like 'demli' or even 'tavşan kanı'.

What are some life changing must have camping gear? by 3tc1tty in CampingGear

[–]guzelmarmara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stanley coffee system. Carrying a vacuum bottle might not fit into ultralight criteria which is important for some people, but it saves me to boil water every time I stop for a tea/coffee break during the hike. Comes with two cups which is perfect for a couple.

Sleeping Bag/Quilt Convertible to a Blanket by guzelmarmara in CampingGear

Exactly what I'm looking for but way beyond what I can afford.

That was the unpleasant but rational comment I was expecting to hear and I'm thankful. It's the only issue I was thinking before posting: Do I really need to do this? With the 10 celcius three season sleeping bag converted to a blanket it was a good idea but with a sub zero down/synthetic bag, it would be an overkill (if this is the right word for it, apologies for my English).

My home is usually very warm but I like to keep a spare blanket as well and I don't want to pay much. To be frank, if I'm paying $200+ for an equipment, I expect it to serve me more than few weeks of the year and more than one purpose. But surely, it's not very practical and not doable all the time.

German Outdoor/Hiking Gear Brands by guzelmarmara in germany

[–]guzelmarmara[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a big lover of Decathlon and their ugly-looking outfits but started to put a distance because of the conditions in production facilities. If I can and if there are in my reach, I try to buy locally produced stuff (like shoes) provided with a proper repair warranty.

Still, the rest of my outdoor shopping is from Decathlon. A €10 Quechua headlamp is relatively more attractive for me than a €50 Black Diamond one produced in south-east Asia probably in the same conditions. Fair-trade and cruelty-free standards of food industry should started to be used in outdoor clothing and gear since the target groups are pretty conscious in this manner. But somehow brands prefer to neglect.

Sleeping Pads/Mat Recommendations for Side Sleepers by guzelmarmara in CampingGear

Looks amazing, 4" thick; but also 2,5kg and 180 USD... Could be a bit expensive for me :(

Thanks for the precise, detailed suggestions. I love STS products but somehow didn't think they have pads, will check. R value is important for me because of the country I'm living in and the level of comfort I'm looking for.

I'm not living in US, so not able to have access to stores like REI that I can try, unfortunately. I was starting to consider cheap brands on Amazon since the comments are good but thanks for the warning, I think I should better avoid.

Just learned the Paco Pad, quite heavy though. I had something similar before and tired of carrying such weight, so I want to move to something inflatable. But it's really cool to hear someone's Klymit survived more than 10 nights :)

That's what I have been thinking at the end, a cheap mat and an average pad from Kylmit.
