This is a very uncharitable view. Those types would exist at any company. There is pretty high turn-over at the large companies as well. People can be there to help build their resume, help make connections, learn the ropes at a large compa

Countersteering and roll are not mutually exclusive. The countersteer generally happens when steering whether you think about it or not. If you know about countersteering, you can practice it to make emergency turns. For roll, Leaning in th

@unity, my original statement was this: "My knowledge is that European urban planning was very similar and car centric until the late 60s." I think the citations quoted above from multiple sources generously support this. Again, t

I agree that most European (and many ancient) cities had no city planning and grew organically. Though, this is not what I'm talking about. Yet, there are still quibbles around this as many European cities were rebuilt many times. Some

I don't think this is quite true. To nitpick. My knowledge is that European urban planning was very similar and car centric until the late 60s. At that time things diverged, US stayed the course with car centric split zoning where Euro

There is beauty in just about any trade that is well done. To the extent this is romanticized is up to you. I'm not a big fan of the professionals that feel it is 100% trade. On the flip side, the 100% romantics are not ideal either IM
