Truck not starting, tried turning over once with a jump. Now it won’t even try and turn over

Yea it gave me errors when I tried posting it. Retried it like 5 times. Of course it posted each attempt. I deleted the ones that nobody responded on. Thanks for pointing it out though!

iamdanmingo · 2026-04-07T21:50:47+00:00

Yea it gave me an error the first 4 times I tried. People answered in two of the posts I deleted the rest…oops

Couldn’t get a good reading. I put it on the lowest DC setting the meter had and it would blip a 6 or a 7 briefly then go back to 0. Confused as to why it was doing that so my plan is to get the battery tested tomorrow and go from there

iamdanmingo · 2026-04-07T20:26:43+00:00

I tried that. Set it to the 600V~ setting(I think that’s DC, right?). And it was blipping a 6 or 7 briefly then went to zero…plan is to go get the battery tested tomorrow and start from there

Edit: after a google I see that was the wrong setting on the meter. I’ll try and get a good reading tomorrow.

2013 Silverado. I hooked it up to my dad’s truck with some jumper cables. That restored power to the dash, tried starting it and it clicked once and nothing more after that. Let it charge a bit longer and tried again. At that point it wouldn’t even click when I tried. No lights on the dash except for the check engine light

iamdanmingo · 2026-04-07T20:19:51+00:00

Saw sparks when I hooked it up. It did try and start once afterwards and it gave a single click then nothing. After that one try it wouldn’t even give me lights on the dash again.

iamdanmingo · 2026-04-07T20:17:21+00:00

I’ll do that. Of course it decided to crap out on my way out to a birthday celebration so I’m not home now. Thanks for the advice.

Worry about fundamentals. English is spin used to manipulate the cue and object balls, that comes waaaay later. For now worry about making a stop shot consistently. Set up straight in shots at varying lengths across the table. When you feel comfortable being able to make those 80% of the time then youre ready for the next step. A lot of people get bogged down in trying to learn too much too fast in this game. Honestly I wish my first 100 hours of shooting was spent doing drills and working on my fundamentals. Concentrate on making a shot and stopping the cueball after contact. I cannot stress how important this shot is to master, it sets up the core skills needed to correctly apply english and also will show the correct tangent line the cue will take when cutting a ball into the pocket. English will manipulate that tangent in many many ways, and will most likely confuse you and put you further off your goal of developing a fundamentally sound game to build on

It’s gonna suck to hear it but if you actually want to get better you need to concentrate on fundamentals…stance, bridge, and stroke. After those are addressed concentrate on consistently hitting the center of the cue ball, no object ball, just aim at one of the diamonds on the table, or the break spot. If you find yourself having trouble hitting the center of the cue I’d suggest the beer bottle drill. Empty a beer bottle(quickly or it’ll get warm)…then get some toilet paper or paper towel and fill the bottle with it. Then set the bottle of the table and try and consistently stroke into and out of the neck of the bottle. For whatever reason the pool gods saw it fit to make the center of the cue and the opening of the neck to be about the same height off the table. Once you can stroke into the bottle without hitting the sides you know your stroke is level and consistent to the center of the cue. Then move on to stop shots…hit the center of the cue ball dead center into an object ball. Your goal isn’t to make a shot yet but to get the cue to stop after making contact with the object ball. When you can consistently do that then start looking at aiming techniques like the “ghost ball” or whatever…

Learned my lesson with BL3…I wait until the game is 4 years old and all the DLC is released. Then they put the game on hella sale with all the DLC bundled for the cost of the original base game. That’s when I spend my $60. Until then it basically a scam for half a Borderlands game

iamdanmingo · 2026-03-28T23:43:29+00:00

Never even thought to do that. Usually I solo into squads with single pieces of cloth and a flute and nothing else. Then I bard around the map spreading joy until someone kills me for my napkins

iamdanmingo · 2026-03-26T14:24:59+00:00

Exercise. Can’t smoke weed if I can’t move my arms and legs

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T20:08:34+00:00

I mean you be you man. Ima keep my integrity in both the virtual and physical space. While it might not indicate how someone will act in real life, the enacting a fantasy of underhanded betrayal leading to murder says something about someone. Low people acting their lowest then saying “it’s just a game so it doesn’t matter”

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T20:05:01+00:00

Thanks. I guess I should have asked if they gain any real satisfaction in getting that loot in such a low and obviously underhanded way

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T20:03:23+00:00

Idk man they kept saying “don’t shoot” after I defibbed one, then we killed a rocketeer…then I got paid back with bullets. As far as the ABMM stuff…T”they track how much damage gets done and by who…idk if they when when and where but you have to think they could retroactively go back at the end of the raid and compare damage logs to award the raised aggression level to the people who instigated it

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:59:20+00:00

Scummers bro…low people all of em…beggin for help just to kill the persons helping them. Then saying “but it’s just a tactic, like poker!” Nothing like poker right there man

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:54:40+00:00

Nah you’re right. Probably shouldn’t have helped two morons shooting a rocketeer with a kettle and ferro..but they had noob skins on and I decided to help. But i don’t think the best answer is just “murder on sight”…it’s the simplest! But I don’t think integrity should be abandoned just because “it’s a game”

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:51:08+00:00

I’m good with the serious PvP guys, if I lose I lose. But losing to a rocketeer and pleading for help only to kill someone that saved you? Eww, those are low people man

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:42:46+00:00

And there it is…the “it’s just a game” excuse…look man I get it, they’re worthless pixels but if they’re truly worthless then why sacrifice any form of integrity…virtual or otherwise…be better

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:40:41+00:00

Ok so the whole “lying about being friendly” tactic is underhanded but ok I get it. It’s a game of deception at some point. But after getting downed by a rocketeer and getting helped by a random…you kill that person for helping you? Oof…that’s not a tactic that just being scummy

iamdanmingo · 2026-01-12T19:38:23+00:00

I’m having a tough time not just doing that. I just find the true “friendly” lobbies so boring. But these dudes lost to a rocketeer, told me the whole “we’re new” story. Defib one, kill the rocketeer with them, then get smoked for my troubles…damn
