It might, but how far do insects actually travel? If it was really restricted like that then it would surely be better to concrete over the yard and park their cars there. I've seen various flying insects more than a hundred miles o

I seem to recall that there were characters made up of all the options of quarter squares, so you could have a pixellated display of 64x48 at least edit: seems like HN doesn't support these characters but see https://en.wiki

In the UK at least, you can often see a rubber strip in a square where the sensor has been added to the road (they cut a slot then re-seal it). I try to stop with my wheel rims right on strip and it often triggers the lights. In fact, I won

I think you have extrapolated too much about this, they were being overly polite I think when they called it negotiation. When you are being issued a traffic ticket for parking in a way that is clearly indicated as wrong then you don't
