I redefined 1yd as 1m so 1km = 1000yd = 1kyd

1000 yd = 3000ft + 1000hd = 3333ft + 1hd

I think the inch-feet conversion is used more often than the feet-yard conversion, so I kept the 12:1 and broke the 3:1

They could be more metric. Just imagine this wonderful reality:

  • 1 inch = 2,5cm
  • -> 1 hand = 10cm
  • 1 foot = 30cm
  • 1 yard = 1 m (=3ft+1hd)
  • 1 pound = 500g = ½kg
  • 1 thou = 25μm

To me, coming from a different language, it means when people are in bed. So"strolling around the block at night" is totally different to "in the evening".

Same as English "tonight" isn't at night but in the evening.

Maths+Sports teachers were the best ime. Only purely Art teachers could reach that level. Or maybe the odd physics+informatics.

It's a zebra crossing damnit. It's pedestrian priority.

I'm so happy I never had to deal with a speaking self-checkout. Only the little tüt when the barcode was scanned successfully and that's it.

A brittle rock made of glitter. It breaks in this linear fashion and can be pound into sand by a mortar and pestle.

Anyone got any clues?

Edit: Thanks for all the answers. I found it in Romania and after searching for forums of minerals from Romania, I got a few other clues.

It isn't conclusive to me yet, but the possibilities are:

  • Pyrit
  • Mica
  • Schist
  • Nagyágit
  • Calaverit
  • Sylvanit

Of these, Mica and Sylvanit fit the best (imo).
