Does anyone remember that story when the French built faster high speed rail by being sloppy than the Japanese did by being meticulous?

Supposedly (or so I've heard) the story goes that the Japanese wanted to build high speed rail but they were unable to make their trains go as fast as in France. Turned out that the problem was that in typical Japanese fashion the had meticulously placed their catenary poles at equal distances from each other, which when the trains reached a certain speed speed allowed a resonant frequency to propagate through the catenary which caused problems with power delivery to the train. Meanwhile the French had been more sloppy and put up their catenary poles at varying distances, which inadvertently eliminated the problem with propagating resonant frequency since each catenary section had a different resonant frequency.

Does anyone have a credible citation for this story? Or is it just a myth?

I still don't get countersteering, I've been cycling all my life and I don't think about "oh I have to move the bike to the right to turn left", I just naturally follow the path and move the bike and she moves exactly how I want her to
Then I learn about countersteering and I'm wondering if I've been riding wrong my whole life

low key been driving 10 years and im not sure who has to yield in this situation.
Say you are at a red light and the light just turned green. does car 1 have to yield to the bus? or will the bus zipper in between 1 and 2?

Push Scooter.

But seriously, are these any good? I'm thinking of going to the train station to my college on one of these.

After years of frustration, Toronto’s major LRT projects — the Eglinton Crosstown and Finch West lines — are finally taking shape. The infrastructure is largely in place, testing is active, and the city is on the verge of a real step forward in how people move across it.

The Crosstown will finally link east and west through midtown, while Finch West is basically a super streetcar in a poor area of the city.
Is light rail still a legitimate form of transit, or were Doug and Rob correct with their subways subways subways mantra?
