Interesting! As a seeing person who used to walk the family dog, I can attest to the technique of using your foot as a landmark - it was invaluable in order to not lose track of the pile among similarly-colored fallen leaves while I was getting the bag ready.

For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed(/fart) that kills, but the impact(/smäll)”

I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled “Fact of the day” when it can’t even keep its facts straight about which country does what.

Those signs aren’t from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn’t use ‘fart’ meaning ‘speed’ - except for ‘gångfartsområde’, ‘walking speed area’, which disappointingly enough doesn’t even have the text on it - but mainly uses ‘hastighet’ meaning ‘velocity’. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of ‘fart’ in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.

‘Hastighet’ means velocity.

At this point jusk ask her to move the water for your peace of mind. I’m worried this will breed resentment otherwise when her cat’s health fails, even if it’s only due to aging. If she respects you she will move the bowl, even if she believes it is totally unnecessary.

Indeed.

The next best thing: Talking buttons

If you want this to be successful, you would be wise to devote time to harness training (i.e. getting used to the harness) first. Don’t just put the harness on - it can be a bad experience for the cat and move you further from the goal of a walk.

Is no-one gonna mention the inconsistent formatting of the signs underneath? Just me?

Hurray!

The band member was subject to a magistrate’s order and could not leave the country, as you would find out if you clicked through to the Austin Chronicle.

I found no mention of this, in either article. Where did you see this claim? Doesn’t really make sense to plan a tour abroad if it were true.
