I am currently in a $300 a night hotel room in Duluth Minnesota with no windows.

Hard to determine which part of this statement is the worst.
I very, very politely complained to the front desk and they magically found a room on the river with a window. And a hot tub!
That sounds like a push.
Yeah still in Duluth.
Shockingly, lots of diversity. Seriously. Though there must be an Indian weddingâŚ
Minnesota nice in action

Mini nerd rant: the sticks on Nintendo Switch controllers SUCK. I really havenât played that many games on my Switch over the years (certainly nothing like my Xbox/Playstation use), but over the course of my ~140 hours in the new Zelda thus far the performance of the analog sticks has degraded significantly, with the L-stick tending to drift (the system thinking itâs being pushed in a direction when Iâm actually not touching it at all). This is apparently such an expected problem that the system lets you recalibrate the sticks (Iâve never had to do this for any other system), but doing so didnât help all that much.
So, say youâre like âfuck itâ and decide to just replace them. Well, a new joy-con is EIGHTY DOLLARS. Eighty! Thatâs more than the significantly better PS5 controller ($70) or Xbox controller ($50), both of which Iâve put under significantly more stress without the parts ceasing to do their one job. If these things are gonna be such pieces of shit, maybe they should be a little cheaper??
Anyway, gonna try this out since $27 is less than $80 (the fact this article even exists, because enough people hit this problem that it will generate traffic, is a testament to what a pile of shit these sticks are)
Hmm, I used a wii u pro controller with a gray market usb fob thingy for a while but the drift was just brutally bad there too, so bought a switch pro controller, and the quality on it is great. $60 though.
Well, this didnât work. The screwdriver stripped off the metal on one of the shitty joycon screws so now itâs never coming out.
I bought a pro controller too which also has some drift issues out of the box, but theyâre at least not as bad, so I guess this is the best I can do.

storms blow through

son #2 tells me his car is fucked up, wonât start

internet goes out, AT&T says it will be fixed approximately 2:30 AM (they say this is related to the storm but the storm was at like 2:00PM, internet didnât break until like 7PM)
-
fuck off, Iâm going to bed before anytihng else breaks
-
wake up, internet still down, check the AT&T outage tracker, no outages found! call AT&T, âoh yeah we fixed it at 1:00AMâ and Iâm like NO YA DIDNâT, phone rep lies to me for about an hour âoh itâs 92% fixed, we will call you back this afternoonâ and Iâm like hahah nice try, get me a supervisor, wait on hold, âthe supervisor is checking your connectionâ yada yada, Iâm like âcan I actually talk to the supervisorâ (something something excuse) âwhat is the supervisorâs NAME can you AT LEAST tell me that?â (of course not), keep at it, finally get some other moron on the phone and he tells me it will be WEDNESDAY before it is fixed
- car #2 starts up, BARELY, feels like a dying battery? I drive over to autozone, they test the battery and say it looks great. Car starts completely normally, I drive home
7a nearly get killed by a 90-something old lady in a brand new bronco with a sticker from the most expensive private high school in town, there are traffic signals out all over town from the storms and of course most drivers are dumb as shit, blast this lady into next week with the horn, she waves at me out her window, then she nearly hits another car (She is trtying to cross like 3 lanes of traffic)

get home, of course it doesnât fucking work! Try it on every cable jack in the house, theyâre all broken, not sure how that is even possible,
9a. somewhere here the AT&T internet starts working again
9 continued: the xfinity phone tech support person says âwe see a good signal to your house so it must be your interior wiring, we will send a tech⌠FRIDAYâ and Iâm like hahah no, hang on⌠I go outside iwth the gateway and extension cord, I plug it into the cable outside as itâs coming into the house and it STILL doesnât work, I tell that fucking liar to cancel my service, pack up the shit, take it all right back to the store.
9b some idiot at a malfunctioning traffic light doesnât know when itâs his fucking turn to go, blast him with the horn (I fucking love just laying on the horn about 3x longer than necessary)
- son drives car to get a haircut, gets home, says car started fine but makes âweird noiseâ when he starts it. he tries to show me and now itâs back to normal noise BUT itâs back to barely turning over. WHAT THE HELL

I pop up to Las Vegas a few times a year and normally take Southwest. For whatever reason, my last trip was on Frontier and due to the flight being delayed multiple times, they gave me a $50 voucher.
Frontier obviously sucks but itâs way cheaper than Southwest especially if you can travel with no bags. So I figured Iâd book Frontier for my next trip and my $70 ticket would be $20 with the voucher.
So Iâm in the process of booking and I see this:
Hmmm. Did they give me a $5 voucher by mistake? I know the voucher can only be applied to âairfareâ charges and not âtaxes and feesâ but that canât be whatâs going on, can it?
Literally $5 of airfare and $65 in fees. Itâs enraging of course, but also sort of hilarious. I almost respect the scam of handing out worthless vouchers (that expire in 90 days anyway).
Beat: booked the trip anyway obviously
What an elite way for the gate agents to kick the customer service can down the road. âHeres a dollar and ninety three cents, now gtfo of my terminalâ.

Why did you think it was a $50 voucher?
I got an email with the voucher number on the day of the flight:
We apologize that your travel plans with us didnât go according to plan. At Frontier, we strive to deliver the best travel experience possible, and unfortunately this time we came up a bit short. As weâd like to regain your confidence, please accept this $50.00 voucher redeemable for a future Frontier Airlines flight.
Iâm confident thereâs still $44 left on this voucher I could use on future flights!
I forget which airline, but they kicked me off a flight once on the runway because they overbooked my seat, I went karen mode on the support person who tried to get away with it and eventually got a very very nice voucher that had a couple years expiration.
I finally went to use it last november to travel across the country and expected them to body bag me with fees but it was easy.
I feel like being a karen when treated like shit at an airline is the one place where it may be massively EV. The whole travel experience is awful awful
