Hmmmmm, not really. It is only like that when placed in fire, yet it remains cool to the touch?
Based on the information provided, I would conclude that you are either:
- Possessed by Sauron
- The reincarnation of Sauron
I am sorry, but in order to save the world, you must die.

I believe scaleys are considered a subgroup of furry?
If we keep this up, Google is going to index us as a furry/scaley site.
TIL: WTF a "scaley" is.

ok, we need to form a white council and a fellowship to go killing @Polygeekery
i'd suggest some dwarfs in order to use his natural fear.

IIRC he usually falls on the pro-gun pro-self-defense side of the gun flamewars, so we'll need to plan accordingly.

Well...that's a bummer.
I suspect you have the power to fix that...
unless you lost the

well you don't have to be one. It's just there's nothing wrong with it if you are one.
:-P

I'd recommend an elf be included in the fellowship for their exceptional eyesight. I'd bet that would come in real handy for sniping. We'd best pick one that isn't afraid to use a firearm.

Well if we catch you on the road, I have a 7,000-pound curb weight pickup truck At 60 mph, that's 1,073,150 joules which is far greater than the muzzle energy of any of my guns.

I love this place. We can go from a stupid joke about waking up with an inflamed eye, to plotting the hypothetical assassination of me in the span of a few minutes.

You fellows might want to get @blakeyrat on your side. I am pretty sure he still harbors some ill will and would join your cause.

Status: Glad I decided to work from home today as we appear to have acquired more than our yearly average in snow in the last 17ish hours. It is still only a bit over a foot but southerners completely lose their shit when dealing with snow.
-
They canceled school about 12 hours before today's fresh batch of global warming began arriving. I think they made the right call.
-
They canceled school
Fucking Americans, canceling school every time there's a bit of snow. I used to go to school no matter what!
No, seriously, I don't remember school being canceled once due to snow.

Our traffic system is on the brink of collapse in perfect weather. Once snow starts happening, everyone would get stuck trying to get to wherever they were trying to go.

I'm not sure I trust any suggestions from you. He's probably the reincarnation of Sarumon.
-
He's probably the reincarnation of Sarumon.
That makes more sense than any other possible explanation really...
-

To be fair places that are actually competent generally don't need to do that (though I remember school getting canceled for chinooks due to snowmelt on ice with high winds).

Depends on the location. In Missouri, we'd need a bajillion feet of snow to cancel. We often had days when the rural students (about 2/3rds of the student population at my school) couldn't even get to town yet they wouldn't cancel school, and the townies would basically get a free day-long study hall as a result.
We briefly lived in South Carolina, and I remember school being cancelled because of the threat of frost one night.

My school district did it bass-ackwards. We'd have the roads completely iced over (back before the city invested in de-icing equipment), but school would still be on. School buses would end up off the road. Some kids would have to walk to the next stop because the bus couldn't get to theirs. I remember one year a bus got stuck at on stop located on a cul-de-sac at the bottom of a hill. The next day, after the ice had all melted and the roads were clear, the district would cancel school because of the fiasco of the day before. For me, it usually meant two days off because my parents would keep me home on the first day.

True. Boomzilla and I are in area where it doesn't make sense to gear up completely for tons of snow... but 2 or 3 times a year it makes for good common sense to leave the school buses in the corrals.
I live near the route to the hospital ER... it's the plow's second trip to my corner and he's been at it for 20+ minutes...
Update: little plow just left... plow train of three big plows just went down the street.
@boomzilla, if you haven't looked out the window it's coming down pretty good.
Status: enjoying looking at the snow...

I assume it's the 1927 approximation of a dimmer switch.
Dimmers existed back then, but they were big, clunky things with a motorized variable transformer off in the corner. Works rather well for incandescent bulbs, and doesn't generate half the RFI that a bad triac dimmer can, but doesn't work for CFLs, even dimmable ones.
Do you have any urges breed an unstoppable army of uruk-hai; destroy all men, elves, dwarfs, and their allies; and rule the world with an iron fist?
Yes. Is that not normal? I have been like that my entire life.
I think he has yet to learn the consequences of being a universal villain...Hint: at the end of the day, the one with more joules at their disposal wins.

Meh. He should count his blessings -- I'd love to see Sauron's reincarnation find out what it's like to go up against someone who buys their thermonuclear warheads by the production lot. ;)Status: watching a co-worker's PC come down with the dreaded boot loops.

I believe this is the 9th day our district has canceled school this year.

Status: I got a thumbprint on the inside of my phone screen while I was replacing it, and I even wiped it with a lint-free cloth. But it was next to the forward-facing camera, and that was some very tight real-estate.

Being the reincarnation of an evil person doesn't always mean that you'll become a villain.
You can become a hero instead! (This link contains spoilers for a Castlevania game)
-
Seriously? Wikipedia's ok with a full article on a Castlevania character? After deleting every goddamned webcomic in existence?
Fuuuck.

I have totally lost track... our 'hood is flat and urban-ish, so in reality, there would never be any need to cancel, as long as you kept track of the kindergardeners - dress them in blaze orange. or mount those bike flags on them, I guess.
You know, since we did uphill both ways, back in the day...
TLDR: what I see out the window doesn't matter in cancelling school, so I don't keep track for some reason. Probably senility.
Status: brb, shovelin' and fetchin' wood.

To make it easier to fetch?

Why are you shoveling wood?
Splinter phobia.
But no triggering event worthy of the injury thread, I'm afraid.
