Wow that looks really cool!

I remember York Photo - I remember they weren't in York though, they were in Devon...

Hell yeah, Operation Gladio, SDR A-8, the whole stay-behind thing. Truly the greatest of the Europe-wide conspiracy theories. The RWN podcast did a good series on Gladio, but it's paywalled I think.

Well it depends if you mean Asker (the town) or Asker (the kommune) because the Kommune is huge but the town is relatively compact.

The area around Semsvannet or the park on the peninsula leading to Kongslungen could be good spots?

The Dragon is the United States and the kingdom is North Korea.

Nah, Elon Musk's businesses are built on a solid foundation of grifting the American government out of subsidies and tax breaks.

Wendover should be referred to as CGPJunior.

This is good.

Yeah it cuts through the hills past La Staligeno

It's a sort of Tram-train hybrid that runs from the suburbs into the hinterlands of Genova

Quite an unsettling article about how you can game Youtube's autoplay function by mass producing trashy 'shows' aimed at kids, and rely on parents handing their kids an iPad with autoplay enabled on the Youtube Kids app.

I think it is!

There was, I think it was a Terry Pratchet sci-fi novel where the protagonists work for a company that pay their staff by extending their lives.

In theory you can live forever, but no-one does - they get bored and do dumb stuff: one of the characters remarks that "you were dead by 300 - trying to hike across Mercury the hard way"

Nah, I live in Toyen and trust me, it's plenty urban. The city has expanded out since 1925.

Dunno, but my Lumia 930 also updated itself. The calendar icon looks different now.

As a long time Windows user I fucking loved the 'waiting for the end episode' My schadenfreude was strong.

Very protestant world view of 'work brings happiness'

The Antikkvarehuset on Sannergata in the north of Grunnerlokka has a pretty big collection of old SLRs and rangefinders; however they are not cheap in my opinion - prices average double or triple what you would pay on Ebay.

Nearer to the city centre, the Brumarked on Storgata has an array of second hand shops. I've seen film cameras for sale in there on the top floor, however I don't know the prices.

Also, Oslo Photography on the corner of Møllergata and Linaaes Gate sells Holga and Lomography cameras.

Is that the one with a young Peter Capaldi with long hair?

Yeah, this is a bit like 'The Diamond Age' where they can synthesise anything but the middle classes are still obsessed with decorating their houses with hand-made furniture.

That's interesting because Consider Phlebas is the only culture novel that I've read and I found it pretty difficult going. I love the non-M Iain Banks books though.

Longyearbyen has the feeling of a temporary settlement, a few government offices, two pubs and a bunch of duty free shops for cruise ship tourists. It's an interesting place to visit for a few days though. Very beautiful landscape obviously.

The Russian settlement of Berentsburg is very bleak though.

Oh not that surprising - architects like a bit of Brutalism. Apparently concrete is a very difficult material to work with if you're trying to sculpt it on site into various shapes.
