I couldn't open the cap, so I dove into action, grabbing my Gerber pocket tool and sawing away.

My room mate grabbed the pic.

    I already figured that out. I didn't cut it totally off, so i could just tape it if I minded flat soda.. which I don't.

    That's not engineering style, engineering style involves placing a firm gripping material around the cap, securing a belt tightly around that and pulling on the belt while holding onto the much larger bottle base.

    Then you simply don't crank down on the cap when you're done.


    (how do you secure the belt? find a way, and don't put a new hole in unless you have to)


    OR

    securely fasten two gears or rubber tipped wheels to the bottom of a shelf, properly spaced to grab the cap. Place the cap in it and use the mechanical advantage of applying force to the bottle base to apply greater force to the cap.

    Hmm... The sociologist's way I guess would be to leave the soda unopened near a crowded area and leave a stack of surveys next to it I guess. The psychologists way would be to leave the unopened soda sitting in a crowded area and watch the people who react to it in a creepy and psuedo ninja style manner and call it information gathering.

    That suddenly gave me the mental image of a psychologist ninja hiding in a tree with a clipboard, staying completely still and dressed to blend in with his surroundings. Best mental image ever.

    If he was hiding as well as you say he was, wouldn't it just be a mental image of a tree?

    LOL. Didn't think of it that way.

    Great... now that Gadzuko put that thought in my head I started daydreaming about the ninja being a naruto style ninja and using the Sharingan to check the dopamine levels in the various subjects' heads... I'm <i>such</i> a huge dork.

    A psychologist ninja with a sharingan? Heh and i wondered how they actualy find out what's wrong with you.

    Questions begone.

    I'd argue that using a pair of tongs to unscrew the cap if you can't get it off otherwise would make the "How to Close a Half-Empty Bottle of Soda That Has Been Opened Engineer-Style"-bit easier.

    Only on the internet can topics about what the Source engine is named and how to open a bottle of soda grow to multiple pages in length.

    Amen. Wonderful, wonderful Internet.
  • DrSuredeathDrSuredeath Join Date: 2002-11-11 Member: 8217Members
    We will ponder about how to maximize the use of force in opening the bottle against the leisure we derived from drinking the bottle.

    Fifteen minutes later we will calculate the possibility of not opening the bottle and opening the bottle.

    Then 30 minutes later we will decide that it is beneficial to open the bottle, without the conclusion of how to open it. We just know it's good to open the bottle.

    It's not like we often get some impressions of real life on the internet, even a simple bottle can emit great fascination in such a situation.

    For some reason I can't find cream soda at my walmart anymore so I had to buy this overpriced Jone's soda at my campus store yesterday. It was good though.

    In the unlikely event that I can't get a bottle open I just jam it in a door and twist it open, works every time.

    I am so going to glue the cap of a bottle of soda closed, shake it up and then leave it next to a sign that says "Please don't steal this soda."
  • lolfighterlolfighter Snark, Dire Join Date: 2003-04-20 Member: 15693Members
    Shake it up? Open, add baking soda, VERY QUICKLY fasten the cap again, THEN leave it. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Do you find that you commonly solve problems by breaking them down into many many simpler problems?

    Have you ever thought of exactly how many times you'd have to repeat an action to get a solution?

    Do you sort a pile of papers by reading through all of them N-1 times (where N is the number of papers) and only switching two concurrent papers at a time?

    Do you commonly wonder if you should divide and conqueror in order to solve a problem?

    Do dot operators arose you?


    You might be a programmer.
