I need to cover exposed high-voltage, high current terminals in the glider fuselage.

My index finger and pinky are pointing to the terminals. They will be at +115VDC with respect to ground when the battery pack is connected. The safety fuse is rated at 325 amps. A 'mere' short to ground at 250 amps will keep on smoking, and smoke in the cockpit is scary bad. This is a good reason to fly with a parachute.

The second photo shows a potential solution, which was molded on a discarded paint mixing cup of the right size.

Hmmmm, what do high-voltage high-current terminals look like in an EV auto/truck? Do they have fancy thick boots for insulation?

Here's the official #StateDepartment notice about requiring #visa applicants (and soon holders) to the United States saying you MUST turn all your social media accounts to PUBLIC.

This is absolute madness. Do not comply. Do Not Come to the United States. The government will attack you. We have gulags. Literally, concentration camps where the living conditions are beyond horrific.

Please, there are thousands of fantastic universities everywhere else. Canada, Europe, Asia...anywhere but here. Please, for your own safety, and the safety of everyone you have ever talked to online, DO NOT COMPLY.

New California tool ranks extreme heat danger by neighborhood. Here's how it works | LAist

It’s going to be hot this summer. And a new tool can help you figure out the risk that the temperature can pose to your health.

The California Communities Extreme Heat Scoring System — which the state is calling CalHeatScore — can tell you the level of heat-related health risk you face and point you to cooling resources in your area.

This pilot program ranks risk from extreme heat into four categories, from mild to severe. A ranking of “severe,” for example, could correspond with a higher temperature inland, as opposed to at the beach.
