Looks like nice artwork for a sandbox game. It'd be cool to toy around those petrol rigs, fly one of those zeppelins, or do some detective work or w/e.
I fucking love Stalenhag's work. As cool as the robots and fancy futuristic vehicles are, no picture is ever complete without a 1980's volvo

Holy shit that's fucking awesome.
New wallpaper right there
Also that Bamse blanket awakens childhood memories ;_;
Yeah, I would KILL to see something with that style in film.
Speaking of this guy's work, can anyone tell us what this is?

It's a bit long to translate, but it's not that interesting.
It's sort of a log about a day in the life of some fictional guy named Mikael, just working at a company and listening to music on the radio and some stuff.
"Atomen" can translate to "The nuclear"

[QUOTE]"The Atom"
Contactpage for personell withing "The Slings" servicemanagement. 13th March 1988
A NORMAL DAY WITH TECHNICIAN MIKALE WIRSÉN
Mikale lives in Stenhamra & have worked as a TECHNICIAN for 11 years, since 1977. He says the best thing about the job is that you get to decide your route yourself & you get to be outside in nature a lot.
The research in the main complex he doesnt see much of, but it feels great to be part of such a breakthrough.
Below is a description of how a regular workday in the end of February can look for Mikael.
08.00
Mikael arrives at the garage in Tappström. Here, the days route is planned. Todays thursday, & that means basic service will be conducted on all the COOLING MODULES, or “Fieldhats”, as theyve come to be called. Mikael retrieves his service vehicle & we head for the roads.
09.00 - 11.45
Basic service of all the cooling modules in southern Färingsö.
First & foremost, all the COOLANT RODS must be swapped. The cooling rods are the main heatabsorbing component in the coolin module, so these can become extremely hot, up to 6000 degrees celsius. These must be dismounted with the gripping sleeve, mounted to the service vehicle. Then the COOLANT must be swapped. All hoses, mounts & valves must be thoroughly controlled & any residue must be cleaned off.
Because the cooling modules are placed out in nature, they must be sheltered from the elements. RAINPLATES, WOODPECKER PROTECTION & LIGHTNINGDIVERTERS need a looking over. Last but not least, one needs to reset the cooling modules timer. Until lunch, Mikael manages all of Södra Färingsös 9 cooling modules.
11.45 LUNCH
Mikael takes lunch at the pizzeria in Stenhamra, where he is a well liked regular. Would you like a vesuvio, Micke?
12.30
Mikael drives on towards Färentuna by Sånga Säby, the car radio plays “ALL IM FEELING” by TOMMY NILSSON & TONE NORUM. Mikale is a real musiclover & really appreciates being able to listen to a lot of music while working. Mikael sings along:
“WE HOLD EACHOTHER, WHEN THE STORMS ROAR! ILL BE HERE BESIDE YOU WHEN MORNINGS BY THE DOOR!” Färingsö has their own rockstar on tour!
12.45
Arrived at the servicebuilding in the Sätuna forest where Mikael leaves the spent cooling rods. Here, one can also restock on CONSUMABLES. Mikael takes a smoke break.
13.00 - 15.00 BASIC MAINTENANCE OF COOLING MODULES, NORTHERN FÄRINGSÖ
Same routine as before lunch.
15.00 - 17.00 CHANGE OF MAGNETRINES IN FLUX-WELL
Mikael gets a call on the radio. The flux-well in Rignäs sends error values about high BOSONVALUES. Possible cause can be loose magnetrine mounts. Mikale must go back to the Sätuna warehouse to retrieve the correct safety equipment before he can manage the flux-well. On the spot, it turns out its a SHRINKTUBING that came loose & in its spasms hit a magnetrine disc. Mikael must put on the safety equipment to overpower the flailing hose. Mikael – a real snaketamer!
After the flux-well, the workday is over & Mikael goes back to Tappström again.
The sun peeks out by the horizon & on the radio is LASSE HOLMS “CANELLONI MACARONI”. Spring is approaching![/QUOTE]

Maps like these are kind of meaningless if they go by number of people per country, if anything they should go by percentage.

Depends what you want to know. This maps tells you which countries make up for most of the internet user base. A percentage wouldn't tell you that.

update on berd
she's been laying an egg per morning for eight days now
I'm curious to see how many she will lay - blue tits have been known to lay up 16
[vid]http://zippy.gfycat.com/AcclaimedRingedCreature.webm[/vid]
I dunno where she got all the red fluff from
perhaps an old woollen jumper lying around somewhere
I collected some wool from the barbed wire fences surrounding the fields of sheep near my house and put that in the garden for her
she seemed to use quite a lot of it to line the nest
That reminds me of when my dad built a bird house back when I was probably 6 years old. We never noticed a bird coming in (makes sense since the hole was pretty small, but when we had to rebuild the fence the bird house was on due to a storm that knocked in down, we decided to dismantle the bird house.
We found a skeleton of a baby squirrel inside.

[quote]The approaches to the drop zones were made at very low altitude in order not to damage the food any more than necessary as it was dropped in gunny sacks without parachutes. One Canadian pilot recalled, "flying by a windmill and people waved at us from its balcony. You understand, we had to look up to wave back!" Sgt. Ken Wood, a rear gunner remembered, "People were everywhere -on the streets, on the roofs, leaning out of windows. They all had something to wave with; a handkerchief, a sheet -it was incredible." F/S Gibson wrote, "I will always remember seeing 'Thank you Tommy' written on one of the roofs" and recall, "those flights as a beautiful experience, it was as if we brought the liberation closer to reality."[/quote]

[quote]Aerial shot of a tulip field. Dutch planters modified it to say 'Many Thanks.' Taken during Operation Manna, an Allied humanitarian relief effort that diverted hundreds of bombers to deliver food and supplies to the Netherlands after it was liberated. An American bomber crewman recalled seeing another field that was plowed to saw 'THANK YOU YANKEE BOYS' during a relief mission, other common sights included jubilant civilians waving at the bombers as they flew low.[/quote]

You hardly hear anybody talk about the fighting that went on in the Asian Mainland during the war unless you live in the places it took place in. Hell I don't even think a majority of people here don't even know that China was involved in World War II as their part in the war is barely even gone over in most of our history books or at least the ones we used while I was in school and barely even mentioned in most of the documentaries I've seen on TV.
