The White House has already ruled out another CR. I'd be very surprised if this happens.

All kinda of little things that you take for granted stop getting done. Things like road safety, consumer safety, the SEC, CDC, federal research projects, parks, cleanup of toxic sites, federal courts will delay hearing some cases, tax returns don't get sent out, loans for small businesses and homeowners get delayed, etc.
