My ‘03 Suburban made a screaming noise when I tried to start it.I took the keys out,and it didnt stop?

rander75 asked:


It kept trying to turn over, even we were out of the car (like it was posessed!!), for several minutes, before it finally died out. Now it is totally dead. I tried to start it again a few minutes later, and it started clicking loudly. That went on for another few minutes before totally dying. Now i cant even lock the doors with the remote, or set the alarm. Is it the battery, or alternator? Should I attempt to jump it? I didn’t leave anything, like the lights, on at all to cause the battery to drain. Any suggestions what it could be, I mean, of course before I call Auto Club and have it towed to the dealer??

Any good backpacking food suggestions?

clophad asked:


Sierra Club Knowledge Cars - Granite Gourmet is where I started…want to try some at home before out on the trail.
Ramen is an easy meal for the backcountry, and quick cooking, but a bit dull (especially if you make it a staple). Make it seem more like dinner by adding dehydrated sliced mushrooms (rehydrated separately in hot water for 15 minutes), dried corn, grated carrot or cabbage (add to boiling water with noodles), or other dried vegetables. Seasonings like dried ginger, onion or garlic powder, and curry powder are good. Smoked salmon on top is a special treat. Look for unusual ramen brands in health food stores (try them at home before you pack them) - some come with fewer artificial ingredients, in vegetarian versions, and with more interesting seasoning packets. (Japanese versions are sometimes called udon.) Asian stores also carry a mix of sesame seeds and seaweed that is an excellent addition to ramen.

happydawg asked:


I live near an area where their have been complaints about deer becoming aggresive and chasing people on the walking trails at this park. Do they do that because of some reason or should I start packing a big club on the way out to my car and when I go for walks. I live in illinois.

How should I approach a women at a bar or club?

DIPAM SHAH asked:


I know I am doing something wrong. I want to ask a girl out on a date at a bar or club. How should I approach the whole process. I want to date somebody and get to know them, so I can finally give up my virginity. I am 22 years old and feel now is the time to do it. I specifically want to date a blonde white girl, but the problem is haha not very many are into indian guys. I am pretty intelligant. Have a degree from a tier one school in Public Health and minor in business. I am not that much of a dancer. I drive a nice car and dress well above average. ABout 175 pounds, built, black hair, brown eyes, dark brown skin. I want to lose it by august 15th. So i want to basically meet a girl that i could start dating ASAP. I look back now and i can say i have never really had a girlfriend. Ive made out with chicks when i got drunk at clubs and bars, but thats about it. Never went any further than that. I always focused on my schooling, so I could make myself financially secure.
I want to be honest. Im 22 now. Just imagine. I want to get laid, but I want to get laid by my girlfriend not some one night stand. SO i have to get a girlfriend first? I specifically want to date a blonde white girl. Please give me some pointers.
how feasable is this to do within one month? I just want an honest answer, because i feel most white blonde girls are not into dark indian guys haha. I would aslo like to mention i was born and raised in the states here.
Ok i forgot to mention I have had opportuities to get laid, but I wasnt attracted to them because they were to fat or I just couldnt see myself with them. Do you guys think im to picky?

Saturn techno commercial a couple of years ago?

Mister asked:


There was a saturn commercial a couple of years ago that had a popular techno song for it’s theme. The scene of the commercial was at night time with the occupants of the car dressed in club attire. When the commercial first starts, the music begins and the girl in the passenger seat begins to dance with her hands in “rave” fashion. Any help would be much appreciated.
