    How…How have I gone so long without hearing about any of this at all? Like I always hear we are evil, but the specifics are chalked up to ‘cold war hysteria/propaganda’

    Consider me spooked, and many thanks for the awareness boost OP!






  • fwiw, I’ve parked trailers for a living for 10+years–I do it out of habit and a work ethic of ‘put the work in on the front end so I can backslide on the tail end’ Tho I can see a practicality/safer attempt to having a better view upon departing the parked position. Obviously if you’d like to get into the geometry of it, backing in gives you a much wider range of flexibility to work with in the positioning phases of the maneuver.

    Not sure if it’s true. but I was also told that changing gears on a transmission that’s been running for a bit is easier on the mechanical parts/bits involved (as opposed to swapping gears on a cold startup)

    tldr because there’s tons of good reasons to do so, and very nearly 0 good reasons not to do so. Leave the rest to the mathematicians and statisticians
