It's true. There's a differance between strong top hand vs strong bottom hand. We're taught strong bottom here in Canada and you get strong top in the US. I just got the stick my brother had.

Interestingly I've been told that batting follows the dominant eye more than handedness. It especially important for those with larger noses 😄. The dominant eye is favored to get the more square view. You can spot those who've been tutored in batting from a young age because they twist their head like an owl to get two eye square on view.

Bravo! Great way to introduce vulnerabilities into a critical supply chain. /s

I was going to learn banjo left-handed later in life and was urged not to. It would greatly limit the ability to swap and try out other instruments. I've never been able to finger pick because my right hand just doesn't have that kind of dexterity despite years of trying/training.

I golf right and shoot right in hockey because I got my brother's hand me downs ( back when sticks didn't break every game). I play guitar right handed for a similar reason.

Fat guys that lose a lot of weight have massive calves. No amount of calf/ toe raises can compete with walking around with a hundred pounds or more of excess weight.

But they seem like iterative synonyms. Hardly unique enough to useful tags for either lumping or splitting.

Wait until the one I like and the ones on either side are empty?

I thought everybody in the US got a C section for the hospital's convenience. I knew someone who had a lot of trouble finding a location for a natural birth because it would mess up the scheduling and it might occur outside of daytime hours. It was Texas though...

#2. They open their mouth to pass water over their gills from anterior to posterior. #1 wouldn't get them any nicotine since it would be flowing away.

I have a favorite treadmill. I don't care if you're next to me.

I have read all of the Frank Hebert novels several times and adore them. Even God Emperor of Dune. I have never read any of the Brian novels because I hear they are such trash. But now 40 years after first reading Dune I am starting to question that decision. Should I?

All I want to do is not get media played when I don't want it. And I already block ads. But this #$&@ thing blocks the x that would close the media.

Small businesses want a firm handshake and to look you in the eye. Jobseekers prefer electronic applications. No idea what the pay rates are.

In the old days almost everyone skated to classical music which was almost always in the public domain.

A few years ago the rules shifted to allow skating to music with lyrics, which opened the door to contemporary tunes.

That change has come with a host of issues including broadcast rights if the performance is televised, or differing rights depending on the country of performance. A routine can be peformed in some competitions in some places but not others.
