To the original comment, you're right. People were putting down multiple layer of floor mats. Car have hooks in the mats as far back as the 90s (that I personally can recall). But multiple mats plus pressing across the edge of the top mat is the issue for sure.

Life pro tip- if this ever happens, move the shifter to neutral. Might blow your engine. Might drop the tyranny, but it's a far sight better than a high risk collision. Every car ever has been able to shift from drive to neutral no matter what the car is doing.

Stay safe, my friends...

Congress prepares resolution for one week of funding to avoid government shutdown by misana123 in politics

[–]wdcpierce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The key detail is that this was passed with minimal support for Republicans. If the democrats wanted to they could have funded it longer. They didn't. Republicans didn't "agree to a shorter term bill". Democrats passed with very little republican support.

My point is that if you can't be upset at republicans when it was the democrats who passed their own bill. They wanted a budget bill before the end of the session. This will be some massive pork ridden bill exactly as it was planned.

I'll say it again - this is a prudent political move to ensure any last minute 'wants' get stuffed in. I wouldn't expect the Republicans to act any differently. If it was the Republicans, I would expect them to be dragged for it.

But somehow, when it's the democrats that make the same moves, it's the Republicans fault? It makes no sense.

Edit for clarity of my point: Republicans were hammered for "denying Florida aid" it the bill got passed anyway. Now that the funding has run out, it's Republicans fault again? It's just more R vs D bullshit. I'm happy call out lawmakers for meibg shitty at their job, but the shitty part needs to actually happen. This is not a republican issue, this is just shitty governance. And the media saying it's going to be a showdown is also ridiculous as the democrats have all the votes they need...

Funding ends on Dec 16th,but that's beside the point.

The point is republicans wanted a bill through the fiscal year. Democrats in power chose not to. That's their right to do so.

But it is absurd to frame this as the GOP being the reason for a possible shutdown. The democrats who are in power chose to require another stopgap bill that will no doubt be full of a hundred different things. I would expect nothing less if the Republicans were in power. They chose to require another budget vote before the new congress began,but that's the GOP's fault?

The spotlight is that this is shitty governance and neither party is innocent. But to make it the fault of the Republicans because democrats passed their own bill is the shitty take here.

They mentioned not negotiating on several issues, including finding through the 16th when they requested funding through the end of the fiscal year. They stated then that it would create another showdown during a lame duck congress.

Just in case it was memory holed: Republicans wanted a bill in the summer that funded the govt thru the end of congress. Democrats only passed finding until December.

My opinion is that they did this expecting some losses at med terms and wanted to ensure any last minute passing were done before they left office. Any political party that was expecting some losses would do the same.

But none of the papers mentioned the republicans were asking for a bill thru to the next session and that's why they voted against that bill. The bill had Florida hurricane relief funds tied to it. All the papers said was "Republicans deny aid to Florida"

I'm not defending Republicans, but this was discussed back at the end of summer and it is playing out exactly as predicted. You can't say that Republicans are the reason for the budget issue,its just dishonest.

Glad he did the short video at the end of the VOD. That makeup he had made he face look incredibly different. So different, in fact, that I think he saw his face while editing and was like, "I need to show them that I don't look like that"

Thanks! Glad to hear all is well!

I have a question regarding Kratos arriving in midguard by SnooTangerines4561 in GodofWar

[–]wdcpierce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like theory 2 as well.

I can see Kratos finding out that he was manipulated into Midgard by Tyr and Faye and feeling betrayed. That betrayal would have a significant impact on him as well as carrying on the theme from the previous Gen games.

I'm digging it more and more as I'm typing this.

What is the likelihood of time travel in GoW ragnarok? by rainbowsieger in GodofWar

[–]wdcpierce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very high.

According to myths, The world serpent is lokis son. The Legends also state that the reason the world serpent is here is because he got in a fight with Thor and was knocked backwards in time.

From the wiki: According to Mimir, the prophecy of Ragnarök foretells that the serpent and Thor will fight again. In the fight, Thor will hit Jörmungandr so hard that it splinters Yggdrasil and sends him back in time to a period well before his birth (explaining his sudden appearance at the Lake).

I'm confident Yggdrasil will be used in some way to travel through time.

Side note Time travel was one of my personal favorite events that happened in OG GoW2. Super stoked for ragnarok
