What about screwdrivers, spanners and hammers?

Now that I think about it, since I have used my right hand for a mouse for over 30 years, maybe my left hand is like driving an MT because I have to think about it, making it "more engaging"!

If you would have to think about driving an MT, best to stick with an AT.

I had to think about it for a second when I drove an MT in Australia.

Didn't take a pic since I just wanted to get home from this whole Fedex shitshow.

I could switch it, but that was even worse. It's only because the desk I'm using on vacation requires me to use my mouse on the left side.

Also, left handed mice are useless when gaming.

My wife games with a lefty Razer Naga. She loves it.

TIL fire fighters sometimes use dish soap as a budget fire retardant foam and surface tension reducer.

TIL not to hold steel close to the guard on our metal shear or it smashes the crap out of your hand when it kicks the tail of the piece up.

Yeah, I know lol. I was trying to salvage a short piece so I couldn't hold it on the normal rest. If I would have held it up against the guard it would have been fine, or just tossed the scrap and grabbed a new stick

I have scar tissue left side brain. I'm mostly right handed but some things just feel better when using my left. I had to share a computer at work and home so I got use to using my left middle finger for left clicks.

At my previous employer we had a guy in one of our Mexican sites killed instantly trying to do that exact same thing. Trying to shear a too small piece and it fired out of the machine severing the spine of a dude just walking past.

Geesh. Was their nothing to catch both pieces? One one side I have a small rest on the lower jaw, and a cage a few inches above, on the cut side it directs it down. I guess on my machine I could see it coming out the front. I always line the piece up, step aside, then cycle the machine. I have seen some guys stand in front at eye level to make sure they are lined up when cutting. I usually walk over and not so politely ask them WTF are you doing. Of course I am the one with the idiot mark right now lol
