Bell’s Theorem

If I am to understand Bell’s theorem correctly, then I must suppose that if we are running a Stern-Gerlach experiment on entangled pairs of electrons and I measure one with spin up then I can be assured that if you measure its entangled partner its spin will be down against a given magnetic field direction. However, I cannot therefore do any physics or build any device that depends on that outcome if only I make a measurement. What does that even mean?
