One or fewer sclerosis: fine
Multiple sclerosis: bad

I have come to the point in my life where i just accept that a white shirt gets a single use, it is an inevitable law of physics and it is immutable.

Im not entirely sure what the covid rule is being depicted here or how it involves a camel... But i reall want to know.

There has been a lot of discussion lately, much of it just plain incorrect, about the relationship between resonance and antenna efficiency. Many incorrectly claim that resonance has nothing to do with antenna efficiency at all, similarly others incorrectly claim that resonance is a direct indication of efficiency. Neither of these statements is true. The reality is that resonance does have a significant impact on how efficient your antenna is, but the relationship is highly non-linear and depends on many characteristics.

Below I have attached a chart hat plots out the total radiation resistance (R_r) vs the measured input resistance (R_in) of a dipole. Efficiency is just R_r/R_in. In other words an efficient antenna will have 100% of its resistance as radiation resistance, and R_in is **always** larger than R_r (since it is essentially ohmic resistance plus radiation resistance). When these two numbers differ significantly an antenna is inefficient. The source for the chart below is here and it gives much of the math if you want a deeper dive:

What is important to note here is that at anti-resonance we see a **huge** R_in value and a small R_r value, this means an anti-resonant antenna will have very high losses. Keep in mind the graph is very hard to read for the values <0.5 in length because the resolution isnt high. But there is significant divergence there as well. Notice at ~5/8ths wavelength antenna would exhibit very significant internal ohmic losses due to heat.

Holy hell this one was tricky. Just barely got it.

Yup in Islam all are considered prophets including Jesus and Moses

@freemo as a moderator of the internet,

We do not allow the truth here,

Please delete this message or aliven't.

Thank you.

@freemo I understand believing in a God and respect it but I like the belief of you controlling your life and others effect it but don't have almighty control over it. Whays your opinion on Gods and religions

jeudaism, Islam, and Christianity are just three denominations of the same religion. Yes you heard me.

I dont know who needs to hear this, but Allah is just the arabic word for god. Egyptians speak arabic, so Egyptian christians refer to god as allah. Likewise when most musslims talk about god in english thry refer to him as God not Allah.

This is important to emphasize the fallacy in people claiming that christians and musslims worship different gods, its the same god and the same core is at the center of both religions.

@freemo I have a friend who is autistic, very pushful on religion but whatever keep him fine, he isn't non functional but just thinks jokes are too far and etc. What you are saying is a nicer way to put that.

I am still of the opinion that the vast majority of high functioning autism and people "on the spectrum" isnt autism at all, or any sort of mental disorder, at least in the USA. These are the normal and well adjusted people. It is americans that are hyperconfrontational and create drama out of nothing expecting others to guess at subtle hints rather than acting like a mature adult and being direct and communicative of their feelings.

What we really need is a disorder called HSSD (Hyper Sensitive Subtlty Disoorder) or something describing this behavior and the. Label the vast majority of americans as being mentally ill.

The thing that makes this so obvious to me is uf you take any of these people labeled as autistic who feel they cant read social cues and then stick them in a country with a relatively healthy (mentally) population they will function perfectly fine and appear completely normal.

Another wonder 55 meter / 180 foot deco dive today. Dive profile for anyone who wants to check it out:

@freemo @trinsec

The short wavelengths penetrate deeper, that's blue. But eventually no light can reach that deep and that's black.

However, some life can still survive that deep without light energy by just eating the dead stuff that sinks.

(Nice pic, Jeff!)

>"Reminds me of what de Tocqueville said about prisons. Same idea, just with unwanted people instead of unwanted animals. At least I think it was de Tocqueville..."

Whoever said it, I think they got it from another guy who said earlier, "..Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

And many others throughout history advocating compassion towards others.

All those wonderful colours and the mysterious world bleh! Booo no way why?! :D
But uh ok a small video would be 'acceptable' :)
