Obvious answer is obvious. If it’s not obvious enough: Not a single fatality due to earthquakes. Why? Because of the whole freaking system behind the Shinkansen.

Thankfully, laser pointers are banned in Norway, unless you have a permit. That does not include the weak ones you get in the remote control for a projector or PC to use for a presentation. Why? Why the heck would you need one? If you actually NEED one, you can get a permit.

Got swiped over an eye with a green one from…

Some sugar mix we use here in Norway works very well. Might even work as a fertilizer for the vegetation next to the road, which took a big impact with salting in the cities.

Duh. Modernized Volvo. Especially the line that goes from the bonnet, and ends on the top of the rear hatch.

Never had a rotary, but a friend recommended replacing the whole oil system with a system for rotary airplanes. According to him, it should often extend the lifetime of the engine dramatically. As long as the oil used is for rotary planes, and not only the filter, etc. Anyone else tried this?

Is this still a debate? It's illegal to drive on summer tires in the winter in Scandinavia. You should seriously do the same in snowy states in USA, Canada, England, etc.

"Oh, but studded tires are illegal." Yes, that's why there are studless winter tires.

Funny how foreign drivers cause the most accidents in Norway…

I can barely see the seats.

Norwegians live there, that's what they're doing there, and it has been a part of Norway for half a millenium. So, the question is rather what the Russians were doing there.

That means they were escorted back to the Russian border. Norway does this on average every other week, with up to four times a week. Also happens on the naval side, especially in term of Norwegian coast guard vs. illegal Russian fishers.

Finmark is the northernmost county in Norway. That excludes the islands of Svalbard, which isn't county, but just one of the many extensions of Norway.

Viking Longboat (best museum image I found)

Because: "Hello, Europe!"

They also had some nice carvings. Often with dragons. Must have been seen as the devil's crusade.

XB-70 Valkyrie

It makes the Concorde look silly, and it basically says "F**k whatever you got, I'll just fly away from it - including your missiles and bullets. Oh, and I'll drop a nuke or two in the process."

6 900 km combat range and a cruise speed of Mach 3.

The white color might pacifistic, but what if it went into…

These amazing trains use electromagnetic fields on the tracks and guide walls to propel the trains to a regular operating speed of 267 MPH and a top speed of 310 MPH. So cool.

But can the fire truck keep up with it?

Scrambling once to about four times every other week along the coast of Norway.

But 458s are LMP1 eaters! Food chain has gone nuts.

Well, it's the same waiting time as in Norway for a Model S, if not more, as it was over a year at some point.

Funny thing: Norway is one of the few - if not only - country in the world without diplomatic contact with China. I guess grabbing a nice portion of the Tesla production wouldn't make it any worse. We have to…

Oslo, Norway: Tesla Model S. They're even taxis now. Well, they've actually been that for a while. Electric cars are completely normal here.

Did see an Escalade today, though. Was a hybrid.

"What was the driver arrested for?"
- Faxing while driving.
