"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.

To all you chemists and rocket hobbyists:

Where would one be able to buy ammonium nitrate fertilizer? I heard on the news that the "terrorists" and general pnaksters use it for making bombs and ****. But I thought it was banned for that reason. Turns out its still in use.

However, since it is a nitrate... that means it can be used as a replacement for any other oxidizer... right? Like a replacement for the expensive potassium nitrate?

Anyway if any hobbyists or farmers know of where to get this stuff it would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to spend a fortune getting this off ebay. Or if anyone has any ideas for cheaper oxidizer replacements.. that would be great too.


Or if anyone has ideas of how to purify and concetrate it that would be great too. (fertilizers are usually very impure)
 

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."

Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.

Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?

You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.

Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

Ammonium Nitrate is the most common fertilizer used to deliver nitrogen to crops. You can order it from your local farm supply store. They might even have some at the local hardware store. And you really can blow some sh!t up with it; it is a favorite of the insurgency in Iraq.

You can make rockets out of much safer propellants than ammonium nitrate, like hydrogen peroxide.

I am fully aware that it can be used to blow wh!t up. Mix some gasoline with it and you have a bomb.

However I did not know it was that unstable. I need consistent burn not an explosion. That is useless when making a propelled rocket. And hydrogen peroxide.. eh? That's pretty pricy though. I'll look into that.

Hmm. Seems that currently ammonium nitrate is mixed with a fire retardent that prevents its use in a bomb. So, turns out its crap for reactions.


Does anyone use Potassium Nitrate? I get the stuff from the drug store but its damn expensive. Anyone have a cheap bulk source? Household chemicals?
 

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.
