I call it WLAN, since WiFi is a brand name.

We are not the same.

Wait, your telling me that baseball is more popular than basketball?

If I had to rank the top 3 US sports by interest/engagement to me I'd say

  1. ice hockey
  2. basketball
  3. I don't know, surfing, skateboard or breakdance but not gridiron or baseball

So the crumbly bits are supposed to be sausage? Like english breakfast sausage?

I have a bigger problem with the minced beef.

I dont know, it works well on Lahmacun, but in the photo it doesnt look all too appetising.

It specifies the cultural application but broadens the temporal.

(To be more direct: not every first nation practiced that technique.)

Having seen neither, I gotta say Neon Genesis Evangelion looks more appealing to me than Star Wars. I might even watch it someday.

That's what Atlas_ is suggesting. Don't by a ticket, just hike the route for fun.

I think, if your savings can't cover your basic needs for a month, you're in it. If you miss one paycheck, your life basically falls apart. It also means, if you have a sudden cost (car repair, water pipe burst, or illness in the USA) that is more than a monthly paycheck (which in turn is more than your savings), you're done.

I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it's totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.

I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don't have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It's nice weather for most of the year, why not.

But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.

Switzerland has about 25% foreigners and in Luxembourg the Portuguese minority alone is 15-20%

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).
