I carry a physical, metal key for my car that I’ve used once in four years. It’s part of the key fob. It’s on my key ring. I carry a physical, metal key I’ve never used. It unlocks the back door of my house. I carry another physical, metal key I’ve never used too, now that I think about it: the one that unlocks the keypad front door if the battery dies.

Do you not have other keys? Or like, is it up to Amazon or whoever, along with battery electrochemistry, to let you into your house, too?

(“Physical, metal key”. That actually makes me incredulous, to be honest, as if carrying three grams is a burden. Are we just a parody of ourselves now?)
