The shiny puddles look like some low-temp metal melted and oozed out of the car as it burned. I wonder what part(s) melted, and what type of metal it is?
The picture is from a NPR piece about the current Los Angeles wildfires: https://www.npr.org/sections/the-picture-show/2025/01/09/g-s1-41784/los-angeles-fire-photos
Damn, you replied before I did. I was gonna say that it looks like someone is using leaded fuel
Edit: Also, the F does stand for freedom, so “degrees freedom” is correct. But I thought “freedom units” are like when you say how many infant-fevers hot a fire is.
Units of freedom is a measurement of freedom related to the number of children killed in school shootings.
Freedom units are units of measurement in countries that have been to the moon, analogous to saying metric in referring to a base 10 measurement system that was used to get to the moon.
Today was a cold, stiff day with only 3 degrees of freedom
So almost fully constrained!
