Nordic news!
Jitter:
I came across an interesting news item, and now I found it in English too.
An overnight train service is now available between Mora Stockholm and Copenhagen, and onwards to Berlin. I am sure nothing will go wrong! Although the image of the train seems to be lacking some important equipment.

Seriously though this is good news. Europe is small enough for overland travel for many purposes, and I'm glad to see the connections are being built up.

Ah yes, the blessing of European nations having their trolley wires operate at various different voltages ... ;)

So, science has taken a look at who would be likely to survive things going Real Bad. It was shown that Iceland would be one of the best places to survive a collapse of the society!

I think this study will be interesting for many of us. Ok so the research ignored trollification, but still!
Keep Looking:

Those were really fascinating reads, thanks for linking them!

They are! And kind of chilling, the way they speculate about the collapse that is coming (not may be coming). Definitely interesting for anyone interested in apocalypses.
