The Bond Villain Data Center
Thanks to Brian for the heads up we have the inside on this beauty;

This underground data center has greenhouses, waterfalls, German submarine engines, simulated daylight and can withstand a hit from a hydrogen bomb. It looks like the secret HQ of a James Bond villain.
And it is real. It is a newly opened high-security data center run by one of Sweden’s largest ISPs, located in an old nuclear bunker deep below the bedrock of Stockholm city, sealed off from the world by entrance doors 40 cm thick (almost 16 inches). …

You can close a desert?
The Simpson Desert will be closed for the first time this summer because of the danger posed by extreme temperatures. From the press release;

The South Australian Department for Environment and Heritage (DEH) has announced that the Simpson Desert will be closed during the hottest months of the year to ensure the safety of visitors and emergency personnel.
The closure, to apply from 1 December to 15 March each year, will affect the Simpson Desert Conservation Park and Regional Reserve in South Australia.
The closure was proposed after a risk assessment identified that extreme temperatures constituted a high safety risk to people attempting to cross the Simpson Desert during this period.
Consultation with local businesses, tour operators and other people with an interest in the area showed the community was very supportive of the closure. …
