"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."

Attraction runs on a clock.

She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.

The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."

One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.

Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

That's pretty cool. I'll stick to gas engines for now though. They have the highest power to weight ratio and you can go around 300 miles on a fillup and can refill in a few moments time :D.

I believe in the future the solution will be cars with electic motors and all street will have a power grid that cars tap into. This would give electric cars lightweight, and almost unlimited power and driving range.

Tesla found a way to transmit electricity without wires; he could do it between two metal plates. He had a crazy idea to make the surface of the Earth one plate and a layer of the atmosphere the other, and transmit power for free all over the planet, but but story goes that JP Morgan pulled his funding for the project, questioning "but where do I put the meter?" Free power is not profitable.

Yeah, big industry definitely killed off the electric car early on. I'm no expert in electrical engineering, but I think that is called electrical induction, which I think is slightly less efficient than electrical conduction through a wire connection. Nowadays it would be easy to account for electrical consumption by induction.

An electric motor is an idea motor for a car. It has constant torque, and it's much simpler than using an internal combustion engine. The problem with electric cars is the weight and limited capacity of batteries. Batteries and capacitors are getting better but they're still a sticking point and cost. So I was saying if you powered off the grid you would have light weight and almost unlimited power and driving range.

If you figure the typically cost of a Kw of electricity, I think the math comes out to the equivalent of about 50 cents/gal gasoline. And electric motor is like 80-90% efficient compared to 30-40% for a IC engine. The electricity can be produced more efficiently than the equivalent energy by an internal combustion engine in a vehicle, and from mulitiple energy sources.


The only real downside I see is electric motor emit electromagnetic energy and the effects on health are not fully known. But you can shield the motor and we use electrical devices quite a bit now with seemingly little problems. Plus there's no street level pollution.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

yes we just learned about tesla recently.
tesla coils can give electricity to things around it
also,
everyone could have internet for free too, but it's not profitable.
