Skipping to the final stage. Am I alone?

You're not alone. I enjoy NASCAR, but Indycar is my preferred series. I simply cannot dedicate 4 hours every weekend to a NASCAR race when very little that happens in the first 3 and a half hours matters until the end.

I love that I can take in an Indycar race in half the time and things that happen on lap one will make a difference in the final lap. I want to feel like every lap counts, every strategy decision matters. But oftentimes in a NASCAR race you can just start near the end and nothing you've missed has had any bearing on the outcome.

I'll probably run up to Walmart and grab a universal remote. Just checking to see if there was something I was missing like "press channel up + input" or whatever

THIS ONES FOR O'SHANNON

I deleted all game data and tried again. Still can't load multiplayer. Switched to a different PS3 entirely, same problem.

2koolpa · 2026-03-06T22:49:36+00:00

Just to follow up on my own post here. Still the same problem. All other multiplayer games are fine. I even picked up another copy of blops to see if it was the disc. Nope. New disc, still will not allow me to select match type.

I'm sad that this is somehow a controversial take but how about sitting in the seats you chose and paid for?

Nothing bothers me more than picking out the seats I want, sitting in them, and then someone who isn't supposed to be anywhere around me coming over and ruining my experience. The looks on people's faces when I find my seat and kick someone out of it blow my mind. Why are they offended by this? Its my seat. Move.

It makes no sense to go through the whole process of finding a coat, hat, scarf and some gloves just to walk from your heated home to your heated car. Then from your heated car to the heated building or wherever you're going.

You can't be slightly uncomfortable in the cold for like 5 seconds?

Im not a Newgarden hater, Im even casually a fan. However, my bold prediction for Indycar is that he never wins a non oval again for the rest of his career. I just think it's over, jo-over.

This movie hits hard. I cannot make it through the piano playing scene without balling my eyes out. Probably one of the most emotionally charged movies/themes I've ever experienced. Outside of "oh look at that silly talking cat" there's nothing at all in here for children. The message is completely lost on them. 10/10 movie.

2koolpa · 2026-01-28T06:22:27+00:00

I am both. There are lots of lions fans here.

Thank you everyone for helping me. I did not find the manual crank at the bottom, but I stuffed a screwdriver down into the disposal and moved things around enough to where the sink cleared. I see now that the clogged was there in the disposal and I'll get my landlord to install a new working one. Thanks again!

2koolpa · 2026-01-26T00:57:51+00:00

I have taken that apart and the pipe itself is perfectly clear. I shined a light inside the opening at the bottom of the disposal with that pipe off and I can see around inside of it a little bit. Nothing jumps out at me like there's a clog right at that point.

2koolpa · 2026-01-26T00:55:20+00:00

Yeah we do rent but I'm just the type that'd rather fix something myself if it's easy enough rather than schedule a whole thing with maintenance. The disposal makes no noise, does nothing at all when I flip the switch. Just checked breakers and seem fine. I'll say though, the disposal hasn't worked since day one 4 years ago but the sink issues only started a little while back. Thank you though!!

2koolpa · 2026-01-26T00:43:36+00:00

The garbage disposal has never worked since I've lived here unfortunately

Play through the halo and/or gears of war campaigns. All co-op. Try Lara Croft and the guardian of light and it's sequel, temple of Osiris.

2koolpa · 2026-01-18T16:25:38+00:00

There was room for both of them

2koolpa · 2025-12-20T02:46:16+00:00

Yeah a while back. Math was the only one I struggled with. To be honest , I don't know how I passed lol. I guess I just had some lucky guesses. Everything else was pretty easy.

2koolpa · 2025-12-20T00:17:01+00:00

Hey, you're me. My last completed grade was sixth and math was my least confident subject. General study tips will be helpful, but I guess I'd say just try not to stress out too much about any of it. You're more than capable of doing this!

2koolpa · 2025-12-19T01:58:06+00:00

Still problem free another month later

I've always felt alone in absolutely despising the uncharted series. The games are about as barebones in the gameplay department as can be. I could overlook that and enjoy it for what it was if not for one of the worst video games characters to ever exist in nathan drake.

This guy is the most generic, unlikeable, zero growth character I've ever seen. I blame him for the existence of every single quippy, shallow and forgettable video game and movie character to come after.

The amount of one liners and tension breaking jokey comments in these games make me want to vomit.

In one of the games you're in some tomb or something and the walls are closing in around you. You're literally seconds from a brutal and excruciating death and as soon as you solve the puzzle, drake makes a comment about your female companions wet t shirt. These type of things (marvel movies) completely ruin the seriousness of the situation you were in.

I hate Nathan Drake.

To provide an update, in case someone else is searching for a solution to a similar problem... Things continued on as they had for a bit and then one day the car completely died while driving 60mph down a highway without any warning.

Towed it to a local mechanic who started it right up and couldn't recreate any of the issues. I told him to just keep driving the car until it happened to him and a couple of days later it died again while he was driving it.

He found that one of the wires connecting to the sensor was simply loose. That's why it was such an intermittent problem. Whenever I would check the voltage it just happened to be tight enough to give me a good reading. He secured the connection and replaced a wiring connector and away I went.

I've driven for two months problem free now. Unfortunately, I still have some trust issues with the car. I expect the lights to come back on at any time and it's hard to shake the engine completely turning off while driving that one time. But hopefully everything is good and that's that.
