You can use the edge of a sturdy countertop, too, to open a bottle
This is payback for “Cats”

Any flat, hard surface with a reasonably sharp edge (if it’s too rounded there’s no traction) will do. There’s a knack to the wrist motion but it’s not rocket science. Make sure they’re not screw-offs first, too.
My Donald Trump supporting Republican of a sister works at a cafe and lives paycheck to paycheck. Now she’s mad that the government is shutting down sit in restaurants. Chances this leads to people demanding a solid social safety net?
True. I’ll give it a go if the world is about to end.
Just got an email from a friend on my bar trivia team.
He’s self-quarantining because one of the new cases in the area is his co-worker.
Depends. Can they demand that while also blaming the libs?
If this thing gets Stringer a/k/a the future James Bond I’m done with this world.
Make sure the surface is actually hard. Might have chipped someone’s table once…

Fffff not Idris.
Why can’t Tom Arnold get it? Why Tom hanks and Idris
There’s going to be so many people who live paycheck to paycheck who are going to stop getting paychecks. Like we need cash assistance to everyone now or things are going to get ugly. Pelosi talking about how corporations need to cover sick leave is going to be the death of us.
Stop going to the gym ffs. It’s a respiratory infection and you and everyone else there is breathing hard in an enclosed space. You guys are better than this.
You can wrestle the bottle cap off with pliers if you have those, bend up on it on each side until it loosens. You could do the same with a screwdriver or a key for leverage.
Or, if you have a wooden table or a metal surface that you don’t mind chipping (wood) or scratching (metal), put the bottle cap over the edge of the table/surface, so that the cap only is resting on the surface. Hold it in place and slam your palm/fist down on the bottle cap, it’ll force the bottle downward and the cap won’t be able to go because of the table holding it, it’ll pop off.
You should get the hang of it after a couple tries.
Make sure they’re not screw tops first.
Easiest improvised bottle opener is a big chef’s knife.
This seems dangerous and needlessly destructive. Much better to use my wrist-action method, no risk of breaking the bottle and no damage to eg a formica surface.
welp, engineer at my husband’s work tested positive. I think he works in a different building, but still. And no WFH order for his company yet. I expect it to be coming shortly, though. He’s grabbing necessary stuff from his office today just in case.
I’m not allowed to work from home so instead I’ll go to work and read my books on kindle
Fuck this noise

Alright, everyone, I guess I have to join in on this. I have a confession to make. When the girl I’m dating brought me groceries the other day, we went out on the terrace to have a couple drinks, talk and practice good social distancing. We then got a little tipsy and decided that in certain positions, the risk of transmission was low, it had been 9 days, and we could not resist.
Throw me in the COVID-19 sex club. Is there a badge for that?

I’ve never broken a bottle, I have chipped wooden surfaces before. It’s also a pretty cool move when executed well, if you’re into those sorts of things. It says, “Hey baby, if the end is nigh, I can get our bottles open. I’m good to have around in a pinch!”

I don’t know, but sounds dangerous.
