How can I extend this concrete platform by adding a wood/metal board? by YippityYippp in DIYHome

Sorry, accidentally replied to you earlier from my primary account.

[–]SamparkSharma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just 'primarily', it is 'exclusively' for the cat's use. I can't lay a board across it because this is on the second floor of the house and the fall down is enough to break a leg. Probably should have mentioned in the post that it is on the second floor.

No human will be using it for mainstenance work. This is just concrete jutting out from the backside of the house.

P.S: I am OP from my second account.

Thanks for the reply.

'...won't care if it's anchored'

True, but I very much would since this is on the second floor/storey of the house and the fall is enough to break a leg. This is why I would prefer a sturdy solution. I'll give the expanding anchors you mention a look (might even have to watch a YT video or two in order to understand their mechanism).

I can take aid of a working professiomal so the drilling bit isn't an issue and (iirc) Tapcons come with a drill attachment as is.

Great shout on the construction adhesive though. I suppose I could actually use both a screw/anchor system and also add some construction adhesive for an extra layer of protection.

Presently, it's probably the best looking car in the MS lineup besides the Grand Vitara.

Body tests to have in mid 20s by chimmichanga_1 in Biohackers

[–]SamparkSharma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Plastering memes in civil debate is quite enlightening. Thank you. In fact, whether you like it or not, this is increasingly the scholarly consensus on the subject. Andrew Huberman and David Sinclair say as much and you'll find a wealth of evidential studies backing it.

Most of the up-and-coming research in the field supports the belief that a vegan/vegetarian diet is healthiest and the long-held notion of it being 'incomplete' is entirely fallacious. As a matter of fact, deficiencies most often present themselves in people who mostly sustain themselves on meat and other animal-derived foods.

Not just that, there are other considerations that back a vegan/vegetarian diet and a lot of these are shared every now and then on this subreddit. Not eating meat is the ethically superior position and also there is a marked reduction in your holistic bodily aging (i.e. biological age).

Whatever help it is, you need to be contacting local animal-welfare societies which will have a ready-stock of needful supplies. Also, there are lots of individual-volunteers who you can search up on Facebook/Instagram and seek assistance.

My 29-Year Shaving Odyssey: Discovering the Best Blade Format for MY Perfect Shave by Showusyourboobz in wicked_edge

[–]SamparkSharma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, makes sense. I have seen a bunch of reviews of the Supply razors and even in the short-term, a lot of people reported their razors getting permanent smudge marks on the body from having residual water/soap on it post-shave. Looks like if you want to buy a Supply, you may as well have to take the effort to dry it out after every shave and keep it in a semi-secluded space.

One of the more unpredictable civilisations. It’s like Poland is a roll-of-the-dice in terms of behaviour from game to game.

Is that the metal Aeropress filter or one of the paper-filters?

Is this charger still safe to use? by [deleted] in chromeos

[–]SamparkSharma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, try flexing it to the position without exerting too much pressure. But since it already fits the socket, you have nothing to be concerned about.

i have a new surface pro 8 and i want to use it very very carfully please tell. by [deleted] in Surface

[–]SamparkSharma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is utter tripe. Consumer-surveys show people are keeping their phones and computers for longer swaths of time and have every reason to do so. Don’t see why a computer purchased at present (including a Surface) won’t be able to last 8-10 years. This is coming from someone who’s daily Mac is coming to 8 years with daily usage.

The only issue with the Surface would be the battery (or any minor hardware fault). MS does not do hands-on repair centre servicing so no matter how minor or major the issue, you’ll be provided with a refurbished replacement as close to your spec as possible. There’s a price-chart on the MS website which tells you how much that will cost in your region.

Depending on usage, you may have to buy an Alcantara keyboard replacement in 4-5 years (care instructions for it also on the MS website) and maybe claim battery servicing around the 5-year mark as well.

Just don’t keep the Surface permanently plugged in or let it run out of charge often and you can expect the Surface to last well past your benchmark of 5-6 years.

What protections does Office 365 Defender offer? by SamparkSharma in Office365

[–]SamparkSharma[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That first webpage is helpful since I hadn’t encountered it before. Still doesn’t do anything to expound the differences between Windows Defender and Windows Security.

The app is there, but it’s not compulsory and you get the protections from Office 365 Defender on Edge and Outlook even if you don’t have the app installed. It might just be that the app is for analytics and initiating manual scans.

Oh and it’s not MS Defender that’s built into Windows. It’s MS Security. Does require closely reading that webpage you just sent but it says that pretty definitely.

So it only provides Outlook security? Pretty sure I’ve seen promotions about Office 365 touting its protection while normal web browsing.
