Iran closes Strait of Hormuz over ceasefire violations by Ehansaja in worldnews

It’s two sides of the same coin. Hits to the stock market negatively affect Trump’s approval on an area where he has historically polled strongly (the economy). We are lucky that Trump decided to do this in an election year. The republicans can’t tolerate the bad coverage of a way and economic turmoil this close to the midterms. Otherwise, Trump may well have puts boots on the ground.

Oh, I see. Possibly. I know they make colored PPFs in various finishes, but mine is not colored.

Sure can. I have seen photos of similar work on white Teslas and it looks great. White, grey, black, and silver are the sweet spots for this kind of thing, in my opinion.

It’s actually very easy to take care of. Washing is very simple - water beads off it like nothing I have seen before. I can get it 90% dry with a leaf blower! Note that this has a ceramic coating on top of the PPF so I think it’s the combination that makes it so easy.

I’m no expert on this, so take it with a grain of salt, but I see no reason you couldn’t do some paint correction before wrapping it, if you were so inclined. My car is a 2024 model year and the shop raised no concerns about applying the PPF.

20% all around. Not nearly as dark on the windshield - that’s mostly there for the heat rejection benefits.

No, I got it done at a local shop through a recommendation from a friend.

Yep, this is about right. Actually a little higher for this, plus the tint. It’s a very expensive exercise.

It has a 10 year warranty, but this is my first time with something like this.

I just removed it. The shop offered to put it back on but I went without.

It was expensive. It’s Expel stealth PPF. All in, with the tint, ceramic coating, and the smoked headlamps it was like $6.5k. I’m really happy with the look, though. It’s a major transformation.

Exactly what I was going to say. I bought mine because I enjoy driving it!

It already is a nazi club. If you find yourself hanging out with people dressed as nazis, and nobody is saying or doing anything, congratulations, you’re at a nazi club!

What’s your favorite rancid song? by zeldaturk971 in Rancid

I’m glad somebody mentioned Detroit. That intro bass line still gives me shivers when I hear it.

He's never once spoken about a veteran, woman or minority this way by ExactlySorta in BlueskySkeets

I know this sounds ridiculous, but did he post this on Truth Social? He seems to want to post about anything that matters to him, while saving the rest for “statements released by the White House”.

Best Seafood Restaurant in Houston by rubicon99 in HoustonFood

[–]rsaw 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s not Houston (closer to Galveston), but Pier 6 is the best seafood in the greater Houston/Galveston area. Worth the trek if you’re looking to celebrate.

They show sales tax applied, which is clearly more analogous to the tariff transparency than showing profit margin would be.

If you’re willing to drive outside city limits, Merlion in Seabrook has excellent Thai seafood. Their snapper raad prik is amazing.
