New HDD Repairs MBP
I was able to replace the failed HDD with a new hybrid drive and install Mac OS Sierra Beta without a hitch.
Apple OS Sierra Beta Breaks MBP
The headline might be a little misleading, but trying to install the Apple OS Sierra Beta led to a series of events that seems to have rendered my MBP inoperable for the moment.

It seems that a number of our fluorescent bulbs went out all at once. In our house, this means 10 or more at once; four or five fixtures with two or four tubes. We had some left in the last bulk puirchase we made, but fell short of filling all of the fixtures with new bulbs.
Ubuntu 16.04 Upgrade
Ubuntu OS 16.04, named Xenial Xerus, was released.
Updated Server, Broke Stuff
The new OS version for the server came out, so after testing it a little bit I took the plunge and did the upgrade. Lots of things broke.
