Spreading on Plastidip is the way to go over roller painting a car. If I got a Slate it's what I would do.

USA: Slate's New Electric Truck Will Cost Slightly More Than $24,950
Interesting, the telematics module is sold separately at $275.00. So for everyone worrying about spying, for this vehicle you got to opt-in and pay extra for it.

Has Trick-or-Treating died in your area, and what is to blame?
For my neighborhood it was the busiest I've ever seen it in 17 years. A lot of home made costumes, even teenagers dressing up and getting in on the action with the gaggles of little kids. A few houses even did mini haunted houses in the front yards and garages. A lot of other houses had people chilling in the driveways with a small fire going. It was in the 50s (F) so not particularly warm either... I'm in a lower to middle class area, no HOA neighborhood so people do what they want with decorating and it's great.

What TV series bungled a great concept that you'd like to see tried again?
Heroes. First season was great, if they kept the concept of each season being a be set of people with special powers they could have made endless seasons and stories.

Has anyone ever used Stickr or a company that pays you to put ads on your car?

If you get a message urging you to deposit a check and wire money back, it’s a scam. Every time. No matter the story. And if this were a legitimate car wrap opportunity, wouldn’t the company directly pay the car-wrapping vendor, instead of asking you to do it?
The FTC didnt beat around the bush on that one.

Your car is a smartphone on wheels: A team of researchers tested 21 vehicles and found that all of them transmitted data to a third-party domain. And over half were pinging advertising companies.

Funny enough at Aldi's if I scan the same two items fast enough it won't scan the second item probably for this purpose.

U.S. home sales fade in June as national median sales price hits an all-time high of $435,300
Median household income in 2023 was $80,610. Which makes the median host 5.5 times the median household income. https://www.census.gov/library/publications/2024/demo/p60-282.html
When I bought my house about 12 years ago the bank said they would lend 4x household income. How are people even buying houses at this ratio?
