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.

#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.

It might be difficult for him. Canada's immigration system is primarily built on skills. Highly skilled and in demand workers have a comparatively easy path. Skilled in this case can mean different things but typically requires a trades certificate or university degree and several years of full time experience. If he doesn't clear that bar then he needs to go through a provincial program which may have different skill requirements, but would require him to live in a specific place for several years.

From your description it sounds like he works less than full time in a low skill area. It may be difficult for him to qualify.

You can put his information into this calculator and it will tell you if he qualifies. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/check-score.html#wb-cont

Wut? Is the web only for people with hardware acceleration turned on?

I don't, and everything that can be locked down, is. It's intrusive and over designed for no real purpose.

I don't know what they are trying to say. The lag on that thing is nuts. I think I'm just supposed to scroll down and experience something, but it's like it's hopping around at random.

I agree. It won't happen through this process. This is largely focused on freedom of movement for money.

 

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.

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.

 

I ate so many cookies I wasn't hungry. I'm sure there will be regrets - I might need a Tums before bed.

 

I don't know if this is what your after, but I flew into Denver today. I ate a takeout burrito in my hotel room while watching tv. I'm going to be in bed by 8.

 

The US 2nd circuit has ruled that auditors opinions aren't relevant in cases of investor fraud because the statements are too vague for people to rely on. Whut?

Wall Street Journal article here for those who have access.

Here is a professor's blog entry for a barrier free commentary on the importance of the case.

 

I am finally going to join the '90s and set up a blog. The audience is mostly students to show how the academic stuff blends with real world professional practice. I'm an adjunct so I have a foot in both worlds.

I have my domain names (parked for years) and free webhosting through my university - but the university doesn't provide any development tools. All of the recommended tools I've run across (weebly, wix, webflow etc.) either want to host the page, manage the domain name, or require a fee to link the page to my host. I'm simply looking for a low cost site builder where I can edit my files and move them to my webspace.

Any recommendations for a WSYWIG style editor? I'd be happy to not have to learn any actual coding, but will if I have to.

The last time I did any of this I was manually tagging static pages in notepad (lol).
