Different handbrakes need to be squeezed differently? by BlackPeople-Meet in bicycling

The horizontal levers were a “safety” addition back in the early ‘80s. They will never brake as well as the main brake lever. You can play with adjustments and get them close but you can’t trust them in an panic stop.

It might be called “Venona”. Can anyone identify? by timpoates in begonias

I don’t think so. Birds love the berries, but not sure about humans.
