I was referring to the way that pyro effects for car explosions work in film. Most car explosions in film are done with small detonations that aerosolised bags of gas to make the fire look cool on film.

Nope, but I'll upvote it to balance out whoever did

Yeah, the lack of BMS in hobby cars has been an example of the value of a BMS in full scale EVs.

Because battery failure for Tesla is a feature that you pay extra to report /s

Sew together a couple welding blankets and there you go.

I bet they'll still represent them in movies with gasoline fire though

I wonder if mopeds ever caused deaths and destruction.

No kidding. It wouldn't matter for temperature differentials to trap moisture. Stones do it in sand too. People here have no interest in how desert plants seek moisture, all they care about is this notion that individual plants can communicate patterns, bs.

This is clearly a small, very small, cursory research situation. There's a contingent of "plants are people too" individuals trying to prove their agenda here.

I don't know that. Seems like a low priority exploration zone.

Lots of good questions. If the entire area was covered with blown in sand dunes, maybe that? Maybe they're petrified. I don't know. It looks like a forest to me, and we won't know for sure until someone digs deeper than bugs might.

Looking at the area from Google Earth satellite imagery makes me wish someone would dig out one of the circles down to 200ft with a well drill. I think it looks like a buried forest. It would make more sense if that was true because of how capillary action for moisture around buried logs shows as deeper seasonal root matter presenting cyclical growth above the surface.

Wasn't that what the kids were saying that non-graphical NFTs were supposed to be for?

Oh, cool, now I can keep up. I learned to mimic the purr sound when I was a kid and my cat thinks I'm the best because I purr when I pick her up for snug hugs. Little does she know that I can only sustain it for a breath's length.

I keep that in mind every time I see video of EVs exploding. The explosion videos always turn out to be effects production heavy.
