If you felt like going one more step, you wouldn't even need to paint the key. Just take a picture from a straight angle, print and cut out the picture, ensure it matches up with the original and attach it to the blank. Then grind away.

Wow, I came in here thinking I'd find some good advice on how to avoid getting ripped off at a restaurant, but instead see that it's just advice on how to be a cheap bastard. If you can't afford to order a soda or an adult beverage at the restaurant, I have a novel idea for you: Don't go to a restaurant. Water is just…

And boom goes the dynamite.

I think the word you are looking for is "discreet" not "discrete" #corrections

Anyone who is inspired by this to see the real thing in person, about 25 miles south of Tucson, Arizona (in the town of Sahuarita, AZ) sits the Titan Missile Museum, a former Titan II missile site, which has been converted into a fully functional and immensely informative museum.

@markgm: Fact. Bears eat beets. Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

@shuneycutt: Hey, props to you for owning and taking responsibility for saying the word, and not using some euphemism to make us think it in our heads instead.

@OrtizDupri: Yeah, you caught out a weakness in my comparison in that with true friends, one shares all, but I have to imagine there are people in your life you would call "friends" that you [i]would[/i] withhold some information from. I should have defined the "friends" in my story to disambiguate "people you are…

@OrtizDupri: Do you work in the international diplomacy field? Because I do, and to overgeneralize some, the similarities of social interactions between friends and how governments behave are uncanny.

@REO Speedwagon: the rape charges were being considered before these documents were leaked, and aren't germane to the story.

@coirbidh: Well, for all intents and purposes, let's leave Russia out of this - if they were involved in this story, they would be the over-protective, bipoolar boyfriend who keeps an arsenal at his house and flies the Confederate flag...

NO, NO NO NO NO NO NO.

@SoaringDisbelief: Hipsters.

@doomsquirrel: They should have used Google Goggles for G-mail.

@Jestermeister: what we should really be concerned about is allowing women to drive automobiles.

Because people buy them and Apple makes money selling them. I didn't even read the article it was so pointless.
