Warren is like 1/64th Native American and had described herself part native american socially, it came to light that when she worked in Harvard , they mentioned that she was a "women of colour" when explaining that they had hit diversity goals .

when she ran and won the senate hard line republicans claimed that she had lied about her heritage to get career advancement at the expense of genuine diversity hires.

Reality is she has proven that she is part Native american , if granted a very small part , and that their is no evidence that diversity targets ever played a role in her hire to Harvard , or that she represented this in any way during the hiring process .

A double is a type of decimal number with (depending on the programming language) 15 decimal places (in C++). A float has seven decimal places.
Programmers need to decide an appropriate format to ensure accuracy when developing software or working with databases.

I thought yerman was on the jacks and he was worried about either having a double flusher or a floater :(

I'd find them incredibly frustrating. What's the point of having one of those if you still can't slam the phone in someone's face when they're annoying you?

But "whore on the floor" i can translate to Dutch to exaclty the same thing and it also still rhymes. Will not happen a lot.

"Hoer op de vloer."

So whore on the floor it is.

No answer is possible as its shown. We'd need that expression to have an equal sign tomake it a equation, and as theres 2 unknowns we'd need another eqn too!

Nope. If I had one I would use it. I've posted in the TA thread about how annoying it is speaking on smartphones. I use speaker whenever possible but when I have to put the phone to my ear it drives me mad because my ear puts it on mute so I'm yapping away and realise eventually that the other person can't hear me. To avoid this I pull up the keypad but then my ear presses all the keys and I'm having a conversation with what sounds like a terrible busker in the background.

The obvious solution is headphones and I've bought them numerous times but they get lost/broken and my dogs and parrots love to shred them so I've given up replacing them. Why can't smartphone makers come up with an option for a blank screen so when you put it to your ear you can have an uninterrupted conversation?

I'd still get it though because I'm a geek and I love gimmiky stuff like that :pac:

A company I used to work for had a division in France that distributed tech goods, with those handsets being one of the items they stocked.
Think they were supplied to Amazon, it could have been another online reseller either

You're a geek and you never realised that all phones have a proximity sensor that blanks the screen when you hold it to your ear?

They don't always work. I've paused or muted more conversations with my cheekbone than I care to remember. :rolleyes:

I now hold the phone differently and rest my cheeckbone on the tip of my fingers.

it was part of an elaborate plan so he could dress up in blackface :eek:

he wasn't standing next to the copier when he dropped it, follow the lines and youll see where he dropped it

How did he get it on his face?
Did he roll around on the floor?

The lines all, to me at least, start at the copier?
So how did the ink get behind both sides of the copier and behind where he was standing and perfectly coat the floor?

Also, where is the cartridge?
Shouldnt it be on the floor somewhere?
If he picked it up we would have more footprints.

Looks far more like he threw it, at least once.

see attached image, it explains why theres no trail but how it happened god knows

The toner cartridge is the green part sticking out of the front of the copier. Looks like a normal laser cartridge rather than a bottle cartridge which would be more susceptible to going everywhere if you dropped it.

Are my eyes deceiving me: Looking in line down from the bottom right corner of the printer, the big gap on the floor. Does it look like a tyre/wheel/something circular in the gap?

josip

If he was giving it a shake before inserting it, it might explain how it got over himself.
How do you go about cleaning up something like that afterwards...

seamus

This is a combination of two unrelated pictures. The printer picture is old. It predates smart phones, so that can't be the result of this printer explosion.

But toner definitely can do that, and if you drop anything liquid, or anything that acts like a liquid (like toner) straight down on the ground, you'll be surprised at the force with which it comes back up again.

The printer picture itself is a bit sketchy. There's a layer of toner over the footprints. So unless someone was unlucky enough to come onto the scene of a toner accident and then drop another one, it may have been staged.

GreeBo

I think the angle of the photo is misleading (estate agent probably took it!)
I think the 2 footprints are actually really close to the camera and he dropped it right in front of himself.

The scale looks off because of the camera angle, I think the 2 footprints are actually right in front of the copier.

New Home

I think he was standing near the bottom right hand side of the photo, with his legs slightly apart, where the white marks are, with one leg between 3 and 4 and the other between 5 and 6 (if we think of the floor as a clock face).

Toner is conductive, it would kill s normal vacuum cleaner.
Need to use a specially designed one

Someone PC Load Letter'ed a toner cartridge i reckon.

Machine is too clean for it to have happened in the machine and if you drop a toner, there will be some spillage but nothing like that.
