I fix servers, networks, and other computer things. I fly planes and scuba dive for fun. I used to also make things loud during concerts. He/Him 🇨🇦/🇺🇸
If by "use carbon fiber" you mean "use a Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessel" (In Compressed Hydrogen applications, typically a thin aluminum to contain the hydrogen molecules, and Composite for the pressure), sure. There's never been any issues with those catastrophically failing.

And in case anyone thinks "260,000 miles? On a Prius?! That *has* to be hyperbole, the battery won't last 120k and it costs $10k!", here's the mileage today. I replaced the High Voltage Traction battery myself at 250,000 miles for $1,200 (factory new) and about 5 hours on a weekend of work.

It’s breeding season! We just captive-bred some baby Southerns at our aquarium. They are precious and can do no wrong!

Meanwhile I’m installing 200 amp stuff on my house. It’s terrifying that the city just allows me to do this (With appropriate permits pulled, and it has to pass inspections)!

Most RV outlet boxes have three outlets; 14-50R (split phase 208/240v 50A), TT-30R (120v 30A), and 5-15R (120v 15A household outlet). You can just plug into the 5-15R if it’s there. If not, Home Depot sells a fused “Gas Range Adapter” from Southwire for ~$28 that’ll convert the 50A outlet to 15A.

I get wrecked by the Covid vaccines every year, and spend about a day in bed with fatigue and fever after my jab. My old kitty Barney knows when I’m sick though, and curls up with me all day in bed. ❤️

Yes, I have an easy chair in front of my fish tank, and yes, the cats love it when I sit down and work from it.
