Wolfric?

Could you imagine if you were on hour 10 of waiting through the line, just managed to get to the front and then they told everyone to just go through? I'd cuss someone out hard.

So the people that convinced him are 100% at fault? He's 0% at fault? That how we're mathing that? So you're saying that he's a brainless baby that just agrees to whatever shit the last ass kisser said to him? Well at least we agree on that.

He seems to be.... pro-celiac?

Are the flights backed up to, or are they just leaving half empty all the time?

Sure but that is entirely different than having all of those monitors at the same single desk with multiple input devices only accessible by the one person at that desk.

Not nearly slow enough

Redundancy for a keyboard and mouse? Keep an extra set in the drawer or something. No need to have them all out and connected. Simplicity? How is it simpler to have multiple input devices littered about than one set? You can't really physically use multiple at once. Speed? Speed of what? Of input? The latency on a KVM is negligible, particularly for an IO device? Speed of swapping? With multiple keyboards and mice, you have up manually move around devices and/or your body. With a KVM, you press a button. How is that slower?

Physical context switching is the only thing I'll grant you, but I don't see how that's such a benefit compared to the hassle, clutter, and hectic work flow when you can just use a KVM.

That day when they crossed would've been a pretty mediocre day.

They need to invest in some KVM switches. Just leave the monitors connected directly to the towers but route the input devices through the switch. There's no good reason for a single person to face more than one keyboard and mouse at the same desk.

The house elves are the single most fucked up parts of the books for a number of reasons. And Winky is a particularly unfortunate example.

But devil's advocate, Winky didn't become an alcoholic because she as no longer a slave, per se, and definitely not because she was lazy or whatever stereotype slavers would suggest of black people. She became an alcoholic because she was extremely depressed. A) She grew up indoctrinated into this service role and felt like she had failed her mother's memory by being removed from serving the family like she had. B) She was separated from her surrogate child that she'd single-handedly cared for for over a decade (who turned out to be a murderer and a wizard nazi, but she didn't know that) and couldn't even tell anyone about it. Not saying the situation isn't fucked and more than a little gross. But I don't see the alcohol use a problematic aspect with any deeper racial meaning here. It isn't a character failing to fall into depression in this situation, given the character's background.

Also, for what it is worth, after the initial shock of finding out what Barty Couch Jr had done and that he'd been kissed by the dementors, she did eventually accept things and come out of her depression. And she was among the elve's that fought in the Battle Of Hogwarts, making her a hero as well. It's a mixed bag, man.

Sickled himself in his confusion
