Ah. As if it ain't easy enough for Java source files to exceed the Windows legacy max absolute filepath length of 256 characters...
(Not that it stops all tools... Just most of those using old Win32 APIs - which is most of those older ones)
Including Unreal Engine 4, apparently.

Tada!

@Tsaukpaetra that reminds me I mean to post:
My brother in law has one of those. When he's not using it to paraglide he uses it to clear his garden of leaves.
Actually.... Paging @boomzilla because I think it is powerful enough to work on small kids too.

@PJH I'd buy that if it wasn't £66.

@bb36e Probably they just made that so this appears on IMDB:

@djls45 Reminded me of a similar bad idea (although slightly older):
The novel method of charging the 1911 could be potentially lethal if done incorrectly. Shotgun cartridges of the time were often made of paper, which could make the cartridge body vulnerable to expansion when exposed to moisture in large quantities. If this happened in the 1911, the barrel would have to be cycled in order to open the chamber so that the swelled shotgun shell could be removed. Some users mistakenly cycled the barrel by placing the butt of the weapon against the ground and forcing the barrel down. In this position, the muzzle of the weapon would be pointing towards the face of the user, and the swelled shell could fire, injuring or killing the user. This safety issue led to the Model 1911 being nicknamed "the Widowmaker".[4] This situation could be avoided with adherence to safety procedures common to handling firearms, in particular, the practice of keeping the weapon pointed in a safe direction at all times.

@Mikael_Svahnberg Oh, it's for a gun barrel.

Much as I enjoyed the early days of being a parent, the smell of my daughter was not one of the highlights

A lot of parents apparently are super into the way their babies smell. It's weird.
-
@Yamikuronue I suppose the periods where she didn't smell of sick or shit were OK, but that's far from a majority of the time

You jest, but I find my teeth suitable wire strippers in a pinch.
Do with that what you may.

I like the way my bitch smells, does that count?

So, no

Kissing venomous snakes:
-
@CarrieVS well, that's... wait, sorry; I must have misread it. No... okay, I'm having trouble parsing the phrase, "the snake's owner".
Luckily it looks like the article has been amended, because there's currently no mention of that. It just says "the snake was found", crediting him with being its finder... TR is that a day later it was still alive enough to bite someone.
Anyway, enough with that; back to my original comment, which was going to be,
@CarrieVS well, that's not surprising. It's Florida, after all.

Dead snakes can still react to physical stimuli in really odd ways. When my dad was younger, he and some of his friends caught some rattlesnakes, beheaded them, and stuck them in a cooler to be cooked and eaten later. One of the friends opened the cooler to drop in another dead snake, and one of the bodies already in the cooler struck out at his (warm) arm as if to bite him. Of course, being headless, it couldn't actually bite, but it scared the dickens out of the guy, and they all had a good laugh about it. Then, as young guys are wont to do, they recreated the scenario a few more times with more unsuspecting victims.

Yeah, this type of reaction typically lasts for no more than ~24 hours. It's the reason I was taught to cut off and bury the head of a dead rattlesnake.
ETA: This should preferably be done with something long handled, like a shovel or machete.

@abarker and Americans talk about the wildlife in Australia trying to kill you...
-
@Jaloopa The difference is that here only some of the wildlife is trying to kill us.
-
@antiquarian And our wildlife isn't huge, either. 18 inch spiders? 30 foot snakes? We'll leave those to the Aussies.

I'm pretty sure that Australia has its fair share of snakes.

The fair share of snakes is “none”.

We should replace every instance of "natural gas" with "farts".
"This new furnace is more energy efficient, so it saves you money on your farts bill!"
"I can cook on stoves that use electric heating elements, but I prefer to cook with farts burners."

Well, I'm doing my part.

@karla And if they drew them off the actual locations, the same way (some) girls draw eyebrows high on their foreheads, they'd draw beard-marks on their noses and ears...
Also, I had to look up "fleek". It basically just means "stylish" or "lookin' good".
