Thanks! As long as it's not hot *and* muggy I don't mind

omg everyone on the plane got an emergency alert for flash flooding but I had no idea it was that bad!

Update: pretty much all @United flights from Newark tonight were cancelled.

I booked a new flight from LaGuardia to Boston to Montreal leaving at 6am tomorrow morning. With any luck I'll arrive just in time for the OAuth meeting!

Crossing my fingers for no more storms tomorrow!

yeah so this is why we haven't been able to take off yet ✈️🌩 ⚡️

oh no, I may have spoken too soon. Sat on the runway for an hour and we're returning to the gate. The lightning is keeping planes on the ground here.

..but a hotel key explicitly isn't associated with your identity, which is why the analogy works! You know how you get multiple keys when you check in, and it's expected that any guest of the room can use them?

I never liked the valet key analogy, especially as someone who only briefly owned a 1985 Volvo and now owns 0 cars. I use a hotel key analogy in my talks, which I think is more relatable, but I am still looking for an analogy that doesn't require as much privilege to relate to.
