You don’t have to be confident but you do have to act confident.  This will make people, girls included, take you seriously. Also, as we discuss below, girls think confidence is super attractive. Why would she want to like you if you don’t like yourself very much? However, don’t be that guy that thinks he can do no wrong and that every word out of his mouth is a new book of the Bible. Admit when you’re wrong, always seek to improve yourself, and don’t act like you’re God’s gift to women. Don’t be a Captain Hammer. For that matter, try not to be a Doctor Horrible either.....at least with all the killing bits. That would be counter-productive. Don’t feed the stereotype of nerds not taking care of their bodies. Like self confidence, if you can’t care about yourself enough to take care of yourself, how are you supposed to take care of someone else? Wash your body and hair regularly, wear clean clothes (without holes!), and brush your teeth. No Bowser breath here! Be a Nathan Drake. Be a Bruce Wayne. Be a Captain Picard. Be a guy who’s fun to be around, knows things, and makes the world and the people around him better because that's what girls really want.  You don’t have to be the smartest guy, but be knowledgeable about the world around you. Help people by volunteering your time and being there for everyone you know. And get out there and do things! Even if it’s just going to cons, you have got to get out and live your life, not just sit around all day.  If you want to do something awesome and show the world (and the ladies) how great nerds can be, do work with nerdy charities like Child’s Play. This will go to a good cause and show people that nerds contribute to society in impactful, wonderful ways. If you really want to get a girlfriend, take a lesson from the Patrick Stewart School of Awesome and respect the heck out of women. It turns out they really like that.

One-sentence summary -- Act confident. Take care of yourself and your appearance. Be an awesome person.

Q: Tri Roman is a combination of two simple ciphers: Tri Code and the Caesar Cipher. Depending on your preference, you can apply the Tri Code transformation first and then the Caesar Cipher, or vice versa. Generally, when applying a cipher to encode a message, you should apply the cipher completely to the entire message before applying a new cipher. Just as you would normally, take letters in segments of three from the start of your message to its end, then write each segment in reverse. Since you'll be using two ciphers, it's best to write down these transformations to prevent mistakes. For the purpose of providing a guided example for Tri Roman, the phrase, "Caesar's a genius" will be used. In Tri Code, this would be, "Eac ras ga's ine su." Now that your message is in Tri Code, you can move on to your next cipher. Caesar Cipher, also called a shift cipher, replaces letters in your message with a new letter a fixed number of positions away in the alphabet. Imagine the alphabet from A - Z laid out before you, from left to right. A left shift of three, then, would replace D's in your original message with an B's, J's with H's, and so on.  You can choose to shift either to the left or right as many positions as you desire. If you reach the beginning of the alphabet, continue shifting from the end and vice versa. Therefore, with left shift three A becomes Y, and with right shift three Z becomes B. Basic shift ciphers should only shift letters in a single direction. When using the Caesar Cipher, you should never shift both left and right at the same time. Using a Caesar Cipher with a left shift of three on the Tri Coded message "Eac ras ga's ine su" (Caesar's a genius) gives you the Tri Roman coded message "Cya pyq ey'q glc qs." You may find it easiest to write out messages in Tri Code before applying the Caesar Cipher. Alternatively, you may have an easier time doing Caesar Cipher first, and then Tri Code. Experiment with both ways to find what works best for you. An example of Tri Roman code with the Caesar Cipher first, then Tri code, with a left shift of three, would look like: Caesar's a genius → Aycqyp'q y eclgsq (Caesar Cipher) → Cya pyq ey'q glc qs (Tri Code)
A: Determine the order of your ciphers. Transfer your message completely into Tri Code. Use the Caesar Cipher. Swap the order of your ciphering.

Article: From simply listening for the leak to spraying the mattress with soapy water and looking for bubbles to more extreme tests like submerging the mattress in a tub or swimming pool, the many tests for find a leak in your air mattress are detailed in 5 Ways to Locate a Leak in an Air Mattress. However, the most reliable methods seem to be the easiest: using your ears and spraying the mattress with soapy water. Whichever method you choose, always inspect the mattress systematically.  First inspect the valves. Then, check the seams. Finally, inspect the flat surfaces of mattress. Use a permanent marker or a piece of masking tape.  For “flocked” (fuzzy) mattresses, use fine grit sandpaper or an emery board to smooth the area before attempting to patch it. Be gentle! And make sure to remove any debris with a damp cloth or vacuum cleaner before proceeding.  Alternatively, use acetone—an ingredient found in many nail polish removers—to smooth the flocked area before patching it. Wet a cotton ball with a small amount of acetone and dab the area around the hole. Then, use something rigid like a spoon to scrape away the flocking. Finally, use rubbing alcohol to clean the area thoroughly. Use hair dryer to speed up the process. Or let the mattress air-dry overnight.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Find the leak. Mark the leak. Dry the mattress completely. Deflate the mattress.
