  • There’s a little more to it than that. They also need to consider that, in cars with an analogue speed dial, the actual speed is not displayed precisely. Plus, there may be minor discrepancies between the speed dial and the actual speed, which can be affected by non-standard tyres etc. So a small “buffer” in acceptable speeds is pretty reasonable.

    I recall being told by someone at a Mitsubishi factory that car manufacturers actually intentionally set the speed dials to be slightly higher speed than reality to accommodate for people’s need to break the rules just a little…!






  • If you’ve ever had a food obsessed dog you will have witnessed them going back to their food bowl some time after eating their dinner to give it another lick, just in case some food had materialised.

    In our family, we believe there is a special bed time story, passed down from mother to puppy, of the Dog With the Magical Refilling Dinner Bowl. Puppies remember this story, and check their bowls every night, just in case they are lucky like the dog in the story.

    In order to ensure the story lives on, for our dogs birthdays we will feed them, wait for them to finish and wander off, then quietly refill their bowls with another full dinner. Without fail, every time, our dogs will come back to their bowls and do an actual, comical, boggle-eyed double-take when they realise there is food in the bowl again.











  • I hear this all the time but I struggle to see how it is true. How many people regularly trawl through their feed looking for creators who haven’t posted in X days and unfollowing them? It would be a minuscule number. I’m pretty darn selective with my follows and I think I’d do this once a year, tops.

    I think creators are conflating the everyday ups and downs of follower counts on their platform(s) as being something more. And I think the platforms themselves are encouraging this mentality because they need fresh content.
