melon

So far I've tried melon. js and crafty.

I saved my melon until last and it was a great way to end my lunch. Food-o-meter - 9/10, Mouthfuls - 32"

They aren't MIT students ordering sweet and sour bitter melon.

I love this stuff, but my melon can only retain/understand so much without going insane.

Other plant-ish things as well, like melon or pumpkin, provided you have any in the first place.

> They aren't MIT students ordering sweet and sour bitter melon. What's that a reference to?

Bitter melon. All of which are awful-tasting to most, but delicious to those who have fostered an appreciation for their peculiarities.

"Here is a benchmark that shows the performance of a watermelon and a large canteloupe lobbed from a trebuchet using different kinds of wood and rope under different wind conditions. We tied random weights to each melon for no apparent reason."

From the first article, it mentioned that we have eradicated similar disease vectors like screwworm and melon fly before, so what have been the environmental impact of that so far?

The flavours in my devices are currently "honeydew melon" and "tobacco+caramel" which has a caramel-ly smell. As long as someone isn't blowing the vapour directly in your face you'll either barely notice, or it'll be like walking by someone that's wearing perfume or aftershave.

The idea of taking along an atmosphere, food, water, and enough space to move around just seems ridiculous when you could stuff a human consciousness into a volume that, at worst, is the size of a melon, and at best considerably smaller. You'd also be able to add error correcting and redundancy to make the ship robust from radiation damage.

For anyone unaware the most helpful signal for picking properly ripe melons is smell. Unripe melons will usually have no smell at all, while overly ripe ones will have hints of a rotten fruit odor mixed in, even while still being completely firm in feel. The outside of an uncut melon should smell sweet and fragrant through and through, and just one sniff should be enough to tell which fruits should be passed over without a second thought. For already chopped melon a lot of times it's a gamble, and odds are bad. In the US at least most fruit salad preparers are barely payed, and likely not even given the basic authority to be selective about what fruit they chop up in the first place. Basically no one cares how properly ripe or palatable the fruit is, and so sadly-often it simply tastes like oh so much disgusting garbage. Unfortunately melons are some of the worst-affected victims in the race-to-the-bottom world of modern mass-production fruit, along with apples, pears, tomatoes and olives.

> Is every unit now worth 4 melons now just because someone sold one for 4 melons to an outside trader? Well, yes. That's why currencies increase in value, because they're in demand. That's why the value of the pound or dollar or whatever goes up and down. > If I go to the store where I used to buy a melon for 1 unit and tell them now that I think I deserve 4 melons for a unit, what will they say? Who knows? They might refuse to sell at that price. They might see that if they don't sell to you, you're likely to import melons more cheaply than you can buy them locally. The storeowner should react by buying melons in bulk using his units and then selling them to you more cheaply than you can import them yourself.

We use them to buy melons and each 1 is roughly valued as 1 melon. Then people see the success our new system is having and want to use our units to buy melons as well. So, one of the 10 friends decides its a smart idea to sell his unit for 2 melons to someone who really wants to be a part of our cool club. The next day someone else sells their unit for 4 melons because even more people want in. Is every unit now worth 4 melons now just because someone sold one for 4 melons to an outside trader? If I go to the store where I used to buy a melon for 1 unit and tell them now that I think I deserve 4 melons for a unit, what will they say?

You know, like melon ballers: they do precisely one thing, but they do it so incredibly well, you don't understand how you got along without one before. Melon baller apps.
