"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?
 

"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.

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.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

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?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.
