"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Offload your data to some other storage, make sure it's formatted in a way Linux will read easily. A USB attached drive is a cheap solution. If you're into games Linux isn't going to serve you well, or if you absolutely need to collaborate with peole who use MS Office.

Outside that it's a really nice system, I use it on my servers all the time.

Because Linux is hardly suitable as desktop.



To install Linux I'd buy a new hard drive, remove my old hard drive, and install Linux onto new hard drive..

Not a bad plan. There are a lot of people hwho use linux as a workstation OS, it depends on what role your 'desktop' serves. I know several who even play Warcraft on it, but more advanced or less popular games are gonna be a real PITA.

If you need Office you can run it, but if you're gonna pay for Office you might as well save yourself some trouble and just run Windows.

I used it for a long time as a backup OS in case my Windows locked up and I needed access to files on my hard drive -- which happened more than once.
Not to get too technical here, but you should look into partitioning off a part of your hard drive and installing a LILO onto the master boot sector (I think that's what it's called). I haven't done any computer stuff for a few years since I discovered my real life :)

Linux also has a great advantage for Internet users/servers: Many widely distributed viruses will not have any effect on the system.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.
