with the population around 2,243 - more than double of the facility's designed limit of 1,200.

That math is not mathing...

Well, yeah. Kinda like how most .tv domains don't really have anything to do with Tuvalu, or .io with the British Indian Ocean Territory, etc.

The object doesn't absorb their mass, but rather their energy (which admittedly can be equated to a mass via a factor of c^2, but that's not actually what's happening). The change in momentum that results from a photon hitting you isn't caused by a change in m, it comes from a change in v. If mass were the quantity being transferred, solar sails wouldn't work to move anything; they would just sit there and get more massive as photons hit them.

Here is my attempt at digitizing that plot and then log-scaling the vertical axis.

I'd like to see a Linux board in the Pico form factor, using Risc-V

Good news! It already exists: https://milkv.io/duo

Yes, because now you've added the critical qualifier "who have ever been on the ballot". Without that, it doesn't hold.

No black woman has ever won the election or lost the election, because the set of black women who have ever been on the ballot before is empty.

Not really, since in most (all?) U.S. presidential elections to date there has not been a black woman on the ballot. I think there's an important semantic difference between losing and not winning. The equal but opposite statement to the OP would be that a black woman has never won the election, which is true.

I of course wish it was fully open source

Dishwashers need to be water-tight, ovens don't...

I too was similarly confused by the original comment at first, but I think they're referring to the fact that 6pm GMT is 7pm in London during the summer (BST), and 6pm in London the rest of the year. It seems OP and "them" are both correct in that hypothetical exchange.
