The measuring station in question is at the Mo i Rana airport, which is at Røssvoll, not Storforshei.

As someone from the village of Røssvoll who's biggest enemy is Storforshei I am very offended by this misattribution! There's almost 3 whole km between these two places!

Also tfw the first time my random small area of middle of nowhere Norway is mentioned is when I'm dying from overheating.

Mo I Rana doesn't exist. It's a fasade put up to hide the government facilities from people on the train. I only knew one dude from Mo i Rana and he was definitely a robot.

That would explain why the town has so many people employed by the government.

Yeah, but skatteetaten is just a plausible cover for what they're actually doing there. All the skatteetaten jobs have been automated for years.

I agree, especially considering how much the government is hollowing out a mountain for Nasjonalbiblioteket. There's no way you'd need that much space just for storing some books.
