Caran d'Ache are Swiss.. Their pens are really nice. Leuchtturm 1917 (German) and Moleskin (Italian) make good notebooks (the paper kind)

Mine is close to ten years old and still going strong. We have one at work as well. It is heavily used to feed two Wilfa Svart coffee makers multiple times a day without issues.

The Wilfa Svart grinders are really good. Wilfa is a Norwegian company and the Svart line of coffee making appliances is developed in cooperation with former world champion barista Tim Wendelboe.

Most of the providers are targeting web hosting and general fairly constant load. We have bursts load and use queue based scaling in AWS. Does anyone know of any service that can do that?

Yeah, your nick gives you away, it I didn’t think about that when writing that 😁

Norgesgruppen lista SPAR as one of their brands/concepts. Unfortunately, their Norwegian / English toggle doesn’t work, but this is the Norwegian version: https://www.norgesgruppen.no/om-oss/om-oss-hjem/

We do, but in an odd way. One of the Norwegian chains use Spar as a brand for some of their stores.

None of these chains are present in Norway. Lidl tried years ago and gave up. We only have some Norwegian chains here.

Agreed. At least we have ARM who might start to produce their own chips. We know how to design them, just not capable of actually producing them.
