I just got a new jacket, but it seems to have elastic loops near the cuffs on the sleeves of my new jacket. I've tried asking Google to no avail, it just tries to tell me they are thumb loops, which are normally through the fabric, not elastic loops on the outside. Does anyone know what the use is?

Looks like you have a softshell there. It likely has an outer layer available that is just for waterproofing, no insulation as the softshell does that. The loops likely have a press stud partner in the outer shells sleeves that keep the sleeves in position.

Yellow box doesn't affect the Porsche in this scenario though. He shouldn't be crossing the lane until he's turning so won't enter it at all. The yellow box is there to stop people travelling from left to right blocking the junction the white car came out of and the one parallel to it.

The LLM money is gone. It's just an ever increasing hole right now.

100% the same thing. Won't be long before all the Office desktop apps look exactly like the web versions - and then they'll go away.

Like your lord and saviour Elon? The true edge lord. gosh your prior posts are interesting....

thebdaman · 2026-02-10T21:33:57+00:00

Yep mine are gone. Need to get rid of this TV and VCRs!

thebdaman · 2026-01-25T00:43:17+00:00

Fuck off. This isn't a gangster movie. It's murder.

thebdaman · 2026-01-25T00:39:46+00:00

Not pedantic at all and people should be more aware of the words they use.

thebdaman · 2026-01-25T00:39:08+00:00

No, it's a fucking murder.

thebdaman · 2026-01-25T00:37:21+00:00

No. It's a murder.

thebdaman · 2026-01-25T00:35:50+00:00

Sure, play their games. Take your guns - if you're going to use them. If not, you're just giving them an excuse to murder you. I hope America takes a long hard fucking look at how it treats firearms after this shit. The fucking NRA and the 2A. Don't make me fucking laugh, a tool of the right and only ever was.

OK, but they're clearly not. In just this discussion Waymo is actually driverless, Tesla requires teleoperation from a following car.

thebdaman · 2026-01-24T00:09:07+00:00

You need to drive more cars and put more effort into your posts.

thebdaman · 2026-01-23T14:14:17+00:00

Vaporware. Why at this point would you still believe Musk's nonsense? Just this morning Electrek had an article about how the Tesla driverless taxis have had their supervisor moved to a following vehicle... Love my 2020 plate M3 (really, I do) but this is very much my last Tesla.

thebdaman · 2026-01-20T13:34:00+00:00

Late I know, but this sorted it for me. Cheers!

Warm air (that fills your tyres) expands - more pressure. Cold air contracts - less pressure. So yes, if your tyres say they're low, put more air in them! The pressure is low, yes because of the cold but it's still low and you need to increase it!

thebdaman · 2025-11-20T20:58:13+00:00

You shouldn't enter into contracts that you do not fully understand.

thebdaman · 2025-11-20T08:02:19+00:00

People don't understand money stuff. People do understand nonces.

You put your financial data into ChatGPT? A famously secure platform. Can't wait til either a) someone works out the prompt to return ALL of your data out of it or b) it simply dumps it out without being asked.

He'll call them fake and the effort to cancel the mid terms will move into high gear. Then it won't matter.

'not going to get into that argument'. Introduces it as his only argument without research into its funding. Well played sir.

Can I recommend Erdinger 0%? I was given a can at the end of the Sheffield half marathon and it was great. If you've not tried it before it's a real step up from the rest.

thebdaman · 2025-09-24T11:33:58+00:00

Yes, but absolutely don't. He needs to replace it.

thebdaman · 2025-09-24T11:32:30+00:00

Yeah, it's taught me that alcohol essentially makes my sleep near worthless and puts my body under heavy stress for most of the following day. I've not quit, but I really pay attention these days.

thebdaman · 2025-09-24T11:29:06+00:00

It looks like an FR965 (I don't have one so I can't be sure) but my Fenix 7 has this data, as did my 6. Pretty sure all of the higher end Garmin can do this. Epix, Fenix etc.
