My dads been making bottle openers like this for many years. He uses the biggest cog from a shimano "mega range" freewheel. Fits the bottle tops perfectly, plenty of room to dremel it off and manipulate the shape. Also, it makes like 4 or 5 openers.

Last night my MacBook died and I'm ****ing furious. Headed to the apple store today. If they can't fix it, I'm going over to the dark side.

Im pretty thoroughly computer illiterate, and I don't remember what kinda of insurance/warranty/service I got with my purchase ~ 2 years ago. Kinda dumb on my part. Guess ill find out later today. Tried repairing my HD, says it can't be and needs to be backed up and reformatted.

so if I were hit by car after subsisting on cheese fries, beer, and general misanthropy and cynicism, I wouldn't be riding for MONTHS, I gather.

Is your macbook in decent physical condition (no honkin dents or excessive wear & tear)? You may qualify for Apple Depot repair, in which you pay a flat rate to ship your mac to an apple repair center and they fix everything that needs fixing.

If you can find a copy of Disk Warrior or Data Rescue, that might be the quickest/least expensive option. Otherwise you're looking at either $500-800 for non-invasive data recovery, or upwards of $1400 for clean room magic. This is also assuming that the hard drive is the only thing that's gone.

To fix mine, I just yanked the hard drive, used a windows laptop to try to save all the data I could from the drive. Bought a new 1TB drive for $100 and put it in, then used Time Machine to restore the hard drive. Everything was back up and running like normal within an hour. Then whatever files I was missing that were recoverable that weren't backed up, I copied over from the windows machine via my home network.
All that said, I like to tinker with computers and their insides. If that's not really your bag, apple care is the way to go. The "geniuses" should be able to get you squared away pretty easily though based on what you're saying the problem is.
Back on top, today I saw a guy riding aero bars on a bike with panniers. I lol'd.

Today I rode my bike really deep into the pain cave. Got off, got cozy, and stayed there for a while. Going up/down stairs is not fun right now.

today i finally made horchata according to scrods recipe he gave me sometime last year
1) it is awesome, and im probably gonna be bringing some in my second bottle cage to work tomorrow
2) agave nectar beats the ever loving **** out of honey
3) i dont hate skim milk as much as i used to anymore
4) now i want cinnamon toast crunch
5) i feel like this would be glorious with some boozeohol in it
my phone also was not broken just a huge wad of pocket lint was impacted in the socket, no new phone required (good, but also kinda sad i didnt get a new phone for no reason)

today i commuted in a downpour to and from work. didn't even care. beats last month's stifling humidity.
took the plunge and ordered a Brooks B17. have been getting away from padded shorts. properly measured my sit bones...and **** i gotta wide ***.
barely avoided running over a coyote kit driven out of the brush by the storm.
had a great night of historical fencing, working on 'stringere to thrust' combinations.
have to cover sex offender group in the morning. easily the whiniest population i deal with. urg.

Welcome to the club. I don't like Specialized but the Romin 168mm is the only available saddle wide enough for my ass. I though I liked other saddles until I got my Romin. There are some ladies saddles but why they got to be ugly?
