You can optimise to leave slightly more space on the driver's side, and it also grants more space to your neighbour driver

This is mandatory on most mine sites I’ve been on. After a while it becomes such a habit that parking nose-in feels really uncomfortable.

Just park according to the intended use of the car. Are you shopping for furniture or other items which may require storing them in the boot during transit? Park headlights first. Is the parking space too tight? Park so that your driver's side is next to the neighbor's driver's side (tough luck if they're both facing opposite directions, but this is rare).

Reverse parking. It's mandatory on most mining sites that I have visited in Australia, for safety reasons. The miners love to slam it into reverse and crunch their gearbox as they back into a space. Not good for when you are going shopping and need to access the boot, however.

I got a ticket once for backing into a parking spot in one of the various the parking garages in Santa Monica, blew my mind as a European. After some Googling there didn't seem to be any consensus as to why you're not allowed to.

My hypotheses: The ability to check license plates on out of state cars where they're not required to have a front plate? Who knows.

Have you ever stubbled upon a website, and gazed in awe at how certain textual content isn't actually text at all? Maybe you didn't know that H*T*ML was called H*T*ML for a reason.

Rather than simply creating a website in photoshop then splicing it into multiple images with zero regards for accessibility, SEO, performance, or usability, sane web developers take their time to convert textual content to text. It's a way of saying to the world, "I'm not going to rush things, I'm going to support users with accessibility needs and actually make this site indexable".

It's all in a day's work for a web developer.

In a large parking lot, I usually try to pull through so I'm facing out if I can. But I'll back in if that's not an option and it's either a tight fit or I know I'll probably be leaving at the same time as a lot of other people, e.g. theater letting out.
