Afd lies and people believe their lies.

It's about sick leave, so there's no limit on "available" days. If you're sick, you're out.
In short: days taken.

I think your story makes a jump. Who taught whom?

You (or your society) conditioned your schedule to the car. That has been scientifically studied. People generally accept a journey to work of 30min to 1hr. If they only have their two feet, they settle accordingly. If a train is involved or a car, the urban infrastructure follows.

So cars are not the meaning of freedom, you (and we all) just built your schedule around it.

So a bike would be just as fast on your schedule (and it is).

I'm more shocked that people DON'T know that many animals walk on their tippy toes. Cats, dogs, cows, deer, lions. There are few that actually stand on their heel. Bears do on their rear legs.

I guess, that's where a sensible language helps. I'll compare the English word to the one in my language translated literally:

Digitigrade = toe-walker
Ungulate = toe-tip-walker
Artiodactyl = pair-hoofer
Perissodactyl = un-pair-hoofer

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).
