> At one point I used physical keys (metal key, turning lock cylinder) 7-8 times a day. I needed two for our condo, one for the car, and two at work, plus a few more during the day especially if I took my bike with its lock. Now, I use at most a single key for our house, and if I go through the basement I don’t even need that since we have a keypad. My car is keyless entry and ignition; no keys at work anymore. So, how may keys do you use these days? And how many did you used to use?

I don’t usually have these. But I was looking at the latest posts update earlier and for a second I thought we had a thread titled “How has the diseased, CONVICTED FELON, former but once again President Trump pissed you off today?”

Probably prompted by the recent posts on his health. Or maybe wishful thinking.
