She says it's both safe to fly but the system is run by unqualified people. Also she says "tens of millions" of Americans fly per day. It's under 3 million. Is it too much to ask to have a White House press secretary who isn't an obvious moron?

Thinking about the line in Half Blood Prince when it says Harry’s essay would get bad marks because he disagreed with Snape on the best way to repel dementors. What could Snape possibly think if not expecto patronum?! This drives me crazy every time I read it.

I work in IT and this morning a client saw strange behavior in a system we are implementing. So right before our training guide went to the printer, she changed the guide to reflect what she saw. A cache issue no one else has. 250 copies of a guide showing an error when no one else will see it.🙄
