Despite taking 5 tries i think my execution was perfect on this one. Every guess utilized all the clues so anything else is just luck.

@realcaseyrollins
Oh god, all the triggered snowflakes are gonna come out of the woodwork again. I think trump makes a horrible president bit i might just vote for him to spite the liberals.

@fudgel
If what you want is an antenna as close to 100% efficient as possible then you want a resonant dipole.

The thing is there are desirable factors other than just effiency, like gain. So sometimes you might want to sacrafice a little effiency for some gain. Also you might want a multiband antenna where resonance on all bands is t an option.

@Pat
Yea when your aware of your breathing it does tend to change it. Thats one reason its so hard to get a good sac rate when you dive, because then you focus on your breathing and it changes.
@trinsec

@fudgel
Yes, particularly if the two antennas are of different design. Consider an antenna that has a resistor as an end terminator (like a rhombic) vs a nonresonant dipole
@Electronics

@randynose The hard part sometime is picking guesses that use all the clues.

I feel like this one was just luck. Really cool i guessed a anagram of the correct answer on my second try.

@Pat @trinsec
Also my guess as to your breath volume... You were probably trying to fully exhale when you were doing it. Wikipedia is probably talking about a typical breath youd make when relaxed, which is much shallower.

@Pat
At depth despite still breathing 21% o2 in this case the increased pressure means it has a partial pressure of 1.4 which would be equivelant to breathing 140% O2 at surface. So yea. Also nitrogen narcosis slows down the system and likely helps me breath a bit slower.

SAC means "surface air consumption" its basically the rate you breathe at.

@freeschool

An odd analogy, but yes its almost three times the depth a normal scuba diver is allowed to go. But Ive been down almost three times deeper than this.

Antone want me to take video of a 55 meter /190 foot descent down a sea wall in the Red Sea.

@trinsec
SAC rate is basically just how fast i breathe air (the volume of air i breathe). So having a low sac rate just means i breathe very little air.

@trinsec
Sort of. IF both me and the other diver are at the same depth, then yes, incan stay there much longer. However if i go deeper then i will use my gas up much much quicker. So if the depth is different then it depends on the details.

@trinsec BTW to be fair they probably are t doing deco dives in most movies.

@trinsec
Its less tanks than i sometimes use. On deeper dives id have one extra tank

So going over my dive i am absolutely astonished that i improved my SAC rate on this dive to anew record low. My SAC rate was already insanely good, but now... Wow. The dive instructor/guide who was with me said "I've never seen anyone with a SAC rate this low". My SAC rate was 0.4 cubic ft. Per minute (11.3 liters per minute). Most tec Scuba divers have SAC rate of 14 - 19 liters per minute.

Here is the link to my dive profile to check it out:

@worldsendless
It isnt common no. For some reason every scuba diver in know gets cold even in warm water, so thry tend to use dry suits or wear thick full length wet suits.

Me, i would be happy with no wet suit at all and i am much more resistant to the cold than most divers it seems.
