I wonder why it didn't seem to go through the rind of the watermelon?
Because I'm fairly certain that am important function of the watermelon rind is to protect the interior from heat and fire (having its origin among desert vines).
It quickly forms a layer of carbon which insulates the rest of the melon against the tungsten. That combined with the relatively low heat capcity of tungsten (compared to water) will protect the fruit.

Cool thanks for the succinct explanation.
I figured it had something to do with the watermelon's structure or something, a way for the fruit to protect it's self.
It cared less about that truck than I care about speed bumps.
The steel mill my mom use to be an OSHA instructor/inspector at use to have those giant trucks.
At least 5 people got crushed, very much to death, by them during her time there.
It is a very easy thing indeed to get crushed by a haulpak (which is the generic name for mining dump trucks in Australia). So much so in fact, that most of the time dedicated to the instructional process for safe driving of vehicles around a mine site is "stay ALL THE FUCKING WAY AWAY from the haulpaks unless you really really want to die". Visibility out of those cabs is pretty shithouse.

Which makes me think that a couple of fish-eye cameras and automatic sensors would really improve things.

It's a giant Airzooka with fog in it so you can see the air bullet. The people are pulling back an elastic band which slaps the back of a plastic sheet, rapidly increasing the relative air pressure inside the cylinder. Since the opening of the cylinder is smaller than the main body, it creates a toroid of rapidly rotating air similar to a smoke ring. When the toroid impacts the cardboard boxes, it releases the energy in the same manner as a sudden gust of wind.

Pretty sure that's just the aquatic version of Jackass.

Nah it's more like, "You abandoned me, you jerk! You can't just come back and expect everything to be normal! I'll love you again when I'm damn well ready."

One of our cats is super excited to see us when we come back from a trip. Another one of our cats hides and pouts and yells at us when we get back from a trip.

When I lived in Japan for six months, my ferrets would look around for the origin of my voice while calling my parents via Skype.
When I returned, they immediately woke up despite it being 11:30pm and wanted play time.

I need context here.

When a trick is rad enough, it causes time to slow for a duration. I think it's a tier 3 skill.
I think that's what he's saying that causes all those bubbles

Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
