minus-squareAOCapitulator [they/them, she/her]hexbear53·5 months agoReturn to physical keys and mandate that they cost 20$ You ever lost a key and had to buy a new one? It's like 150$ for no reason! link
minus-squareTunnelvision [they/them]hexbear18·5 months agoGo to a key copier and make one as a backup I’ve never paid more than like $20 for a key literally ever. link
