Who's determining what's invasive or native on the internet?

Looks like they travelled there for the big cat conference

I find US Americans to be unreliable narrators when it comes to bready foods. They'll often shoehorn foods from different cultures into their narrow categories.

I'm not saying I didn't enjoy it or that I stopped it. It just breaks the immersion briefly and I'm reminded that I'm experiencing media made by people.

From the other comments I concluded that in the UK the gun stays at the police station. But even if an officer were to be allowed to take it home, in most developed countries it has to be stored in a safe. And the key must be unavailable for anyone other than the permit holder.

In this sci-fi film with Tom cruise's clones that are some kind of watchmen over the planet, there's a flashback scene. Tom cruise is reminded of his human life before the cloning because he sees an American gridiron football goal.
That scene immediately broke my immersion and I was like, yeah that's Hollywood, it's a film by Americans. I was no longer in the story.

The same happened to me with other forms of media. There's a song that would translate to "favourite person" and has a line "even the traffic jam on the A2 is quickly over when I'm with you". But I never use the A2. It's at the other end of the country. That made me stumble when I listened to it the first time.

Your joke lost steam when you conflated how US police acts towards petty crime or suspects on the monthly with the way good Italians strung up Mussolini.

No, they're parts of Spain that lay geographically in Africa. Meaning Spain is a transcontinental country.

Well ... and Spain (Ceuta, Melilla and the Canarias)

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).
