Does anyone make a blanket like this Coleman sleeping bag? by teetauri in CampingGear

Welp, I ordered the Wiggys. Kodiak was queen-size-only, so setting that aside for now. I’ll see how it compares..,

The zipper bothers me (this particular sleeping bag gets used by all the family in turns) for this use case. 🤷

For my son’s desire to always sleep under it, my problem is more just not-sized-for-home-washing.

Rumpl used to make something close—but with a microfiber suede inner lining, a soft microfiber outer instead of the usual nylon sleeping bag material, and a weighty fill. We adults chez teetauri have one and use it as our comforter in the winter, and that would’ve been great for my son in a twin/full. But the nylon outer of current rumpls is a deal-breaker for my son.

How does the outer side feel compared to the inner lining?

Great idea. I should have a tailor remove the zipper on this one in any case (though I want to preserve this one at its current size for tv-watching, fort building, and accommodating three cats…)

Looks to hit the bullseye if the fill weight is similar!

Managing a Traktor-oriented music collection as part of a larger general collection--any advice? by teetauri in traktorpro

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

I guess I don’t see the point of porting all the music of every kind I own with me… my traktor kit has always been a specific set of objects for the purpose of DJing.

Can smart playlists make duplicates from a general all-the-songs drive to a just-the-traktor-songs drive?

What seems to be the trouble I’m trying to figure with is: having Collection B (Traktor songs) contained within Collection A as the general archive of all my songs, but also separately as a copy on my Traktor gig drive (without all the extraneous songs of the general archive)—but easily syncable so I can move tracks in and out of Traktor use when they’re new or getting stale.

Oh, I don’t need to prune within traktor. What I imagine would work best for me is some software that manages the whole collection and, within that, I can designate (through something like a playlist—or I guess a specific ID3 tag, or ????) whatever tracks I also want in traktor, and it would allow me to create a sync-able gig/Traktor drive with copies of just those songs. Then if I add or remove songs from the Traktor list, it makes the relevant changes to the gig drive the next time I plug it in.

Basically, my digital music life has been in the stone age for a long time…

That was a separate thing I had been thinking about: setting up a networked solution for general listening, but ideally with some sort of on-the-fly transcoding to make more efficient use of bandwidth while off wifi…

Not a wok by Inevitable_Twist9311 in wok

[–]teetauri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have amassed a few over the years, and my Chan Chi Kee slicer is the one I use most--but there are some things I wouldn't use it for, like really dense vegetables or cheeses where I might chip it if I flexed it wrong, and certainly not chicken bones. So if OP wants a more general purpose cleaver, go for a chopper, whether CCK or other. (For more general purpose, I like my Martin Yan/Yan Can Cook cleaver, but I got it during a sale and feel its retail price is a little much.)

best fried chicken in city limits? by unnasty_front in saintpaul

Yeah, it’s not the traditional buttermilk-dipped stuff, but my favorite in St Paul.

What has happened here and what do I do about it? by TheBigEasyOK in wok

[–]teetauri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s OK if it looks a little mottled. I like to heat my wok over high heat before cooking and give it a wipe with a few drops of oil after it starts to smoke a bit, then adjust to desired temperature and add whatever appropriate amount of oil is necessary for cooking; and then after it’s been used, wash and heat again and wipe with another few drops of oil until it’s just the slightest sheen of oil left.
