Packing styrofoam and a hot knife sculpting tool is not super expensive. Glue slabs of styrofoam together until it's big enough then cut it down. final wrap it with plaster and paint it

Yikes is right lol

I've been following these markets closely since Russia did its thing in 2022. Back then the markets freaked our about a supply disruption that didn't fully materialize since the shadow fleet and BRICS nations that didn't care about sanctions mostly kept Russian oil flowing.

This time the market took more of a "have a pint and wait for all this to blow over" approach, since the middle east regularly gets into dustups that can be absorbed by SPR's and global reserves... But they miscalculated just how mentally retarded (I mean that literally, not as a slur) the US and Israeli government is right now. The only reason the markets Haven't fully exploded yet is because China basically stopped importing half of its oil demand almost instantly, which kept western reserves from draining too fast- but they've run out of rope and are now upping refinery runs and opening imports again. The only way out now is demand destruction via sustained crude prices above $120/bbl, which means radical inflation and recession.

Very bad. That pipeline could move up to 7 million barrels a day around the strait, which is about 35% of what passed thru the strait pre-war. It wasn't enough but it did marginally offset sea tanker traffic loss.

More importantly this signals that effectively all gulf production is now on the shutdown list and nobody can bank on it returning or being safely bypassed. The world oil market is now in a permanent 20% supply deficit compared to prewar flows, and we are officially in a 1973 level crisis without a reserve cushion left.

DHL the kid would be delivered two counties away to the wrong address and then they would refuse to take your calls when you try to figure out where it got dropped off.

It's "safe" aka not likely to wear anything out faster, since most vehicle hvac components run at a steady state no matter the input load, but you will likely see significantly reduced performance. Vehicle HVAC is always fighting a losing battle against a barely-insulated tin can that is about 50% thermally transparent glass. Any slight reduction in airflow is going to make it less comfortable and likely way worse at maintaining any in-cabin set temp.

I guess worst case, reduced airflow over the A/C evaporator could cause the compressor clutch to cycle on and off more frequently when running A/C.

Vehicles specced with HEPA filters from OEM usually have significantly larger filter area, to compensate for how restrictive the media is. If the OE filter isn't a HEPA I would not put one or any other super special "high efficiency" filter in.
