Hi, James. Ben, how are you? Frazzled. I'm frazzled, James. What has caused this, Ben?

I have been sitting outside, first outside my apartment, attempting to unlock the door,

and then outside of my apartment watching a locksmith trying to unlock my door. And then outside

my apartment watching a locksmith take a drill to my door, and then finally sitting in my office, watching

the locksmith and then try to fix the door.

And we're recording this podcast like two hours late.

So I feel that's a pretty justified reason to feel, to feel slightly frazzled.

No, I think that's fair.

Normally technology is, well, actually, normally when someone is in a circumstance like this it is due to them

losing their key but that's not what happened right no this stupid electronic door and yes uh the

the internet of of shite account would would appreciate would appreciate the story although actually

it wasn't the electronic i mean it's hard to say say because there was like a sort of misalignment.

And it was kind of misaligned from the beginning.

And it's gotten worse over time.

And then it kind of just got a little bent.

But part of the problem that he had to take the drill to the doors because I didn't have an actual key because I only had the electronic fob to open it. And had I had it been a normal door with a key,

it probably never would have even been a problem in the first place. Yeah, a normal door,

a normal lock would have been preferable. And the worst thing is, the worst thing is,

it's an electronic lock, but there's no like phone integration or anything. So I still have to

carry a fobs. So there's like actual day-to-day improvement in my life from having the

store beyond the fact that we're now recording podcasts to hours late. There we go.

About technology and society. And my society is very annoyed right now.
