"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.

My Laptop (an alienware 5500m) is running REALLY hot. The fan is also really loud. What can I do about these problems?
 

"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.

Laptops these days that have good hardware run incredibly hot, make the $30 investment in a laptop cooler (basically a short platform with fans in it that you put under your laptop) and it'll keep things cool.

Hello. Advice I'd give my clients as a field engineer. Your laptop is suppose to do that. Don't worry about it. It will not fail.

Do exactly nothing for cooling it. Unless it makes your lap uncompfortable.

There you have it. Adivice I'd give government and large business employees. Send your check to me.
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

I know it will not fail, but it is very hot to the touch, and the fan is VERY loud.

p.s. I basically use my laptop as a desktop, so it is on a desk 98% of the time.

and yes, it has VERY good components :rockon:

Assuming you run a Windows o/s...

I bet your CPU is running at 100%. My laptop, and ocassionally others that I've seen, have an issue where some processes cause the CPU to run at max output continuously. Open your task manager (ctrl + shift + esc), click on the performance tab, and see if it's at 100%. If it is, click on the processes tab, click twice on the CPU column to sort by processing usage, and end the culprit (right click on it, click end process).

If this is the case, figure out what program did it and be aware of it in the future.

Apparently, "system idle process" is running at 98%, but the computer won't let me terminate the process.


Wtf?
 

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
