Sorry, but no compassion from me: shouldn't have built the road right under a lava stream. Stupid decision, really.

I like the way there's a police car there, in case people were thinking they might just go for it anyway

To anyone acquantinced with Iceland: What kind of logistical issues does this actually provoke? What measures do you typically (or exceptionally) take to make sure that no location runs unsupplied for too long?

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago

I'm not the kind of person you wanted a response from since I know absolutely nothing, but I would imagine being an island, boats play a big role in keeping supply lines running.

We haven't created real life catgirls yet

Pff. Andrew Lloyd Weber did that back in 1981.

Good thing no one ever made a movie of that, am I right?
