Nah, they're sturdy. You may check this article if you're planning bathroom and toilet renovation to see that I'm talking truth https://sanitaryreview.com/best-wall-mounted-toilets/. Also, I can recommend you installing either Toto or Swiss Madison, those are quite old and trusted brands on the market.
Agriculture / Re: Why Soil Analysis On That Farmland?? by Bananaz: 12:49pm On Apr 27, 2020
Ken4agent:
Soil pH is an excellent indicator of the suitability of a soil for plant growth. For most crops, pH of 6 to 7.5 is optimal. Soil pH levels that are too high or too low lead to a deficiency of many nutrients, decline in microbial activity, decrease in crop yields, and deterioration of soil health. For example, soil pH values below 5.5 and between 7.5 and 8.5 limit the availability of phosphate for plants. Four major management practices that increase the availability of phosphate for plants are:

1. Liming acid soils to increase pH to between 6.5 and 7.0.
2. Applying small amounts of phosphorus fertilizer frequently rather than a large amount at one time.
3. Banding or injecting the source of the phosphorus (manure and/or fertilizer) into the soil to reduce the contact between the soil and the phosphorus.
4. Applying phosphorus fertilizer near crop rows, where roots are most active. Nitrogen cycling is inhibited by low pH.

The effectiveness and degradation of herbicides and insecticides and the solubility of heavy metals are dependent on the soil pH. Some diseases thrive in alkaline or acidic soils. The effectiveness and potential carryover of certain herbicides is also impacted by soil pH.

Good point though I wouldn't recommend getting a pH above 6.5 and 7.0. Not to mention that there's a reason why most soil testers have a range between 3.0 and 8.0, here's a link for comparison https://bumpercroptimes.com/best-soil-ph-testers/. Also, it is worth mentioning that applying insecticides can shift pH in some way too.

what you need is leave in conditioner.That will soften ur hair all day and for easy combing.

That's a good idea, OP should listen to it. Also my advice - do not visit your barber, better find a new one. You may laugh but amateur hairstylists may mess up you had badly. I suggest you check whether he or she uses a professional tools. By the way, here's a good article on Hairmadnesssalon about these, you may check it.

Fashion / Re: 5 Steps To Maintaining A Healthy Beard by Bananaz: 8:43am On Mar 23, 2020
Regularly comb your beard using small combs depending on the size and length of your beard. When choosing a beard style, also consider the shape of your face, full beards are great for men with long, angular faces.

So true. It's painful to see beard owners who neglect beard grooming. Beard hair should be considered and maintained just as hair on your scalp so everyday brushing and regular shampooing are strongly advised just as recommended on Mystraightener.com. A regular natural shampoo should be enough, also don't be shy to get a small wooden beard comb, it should both keep your beard entangled and tidy.

Sexyliciousbri:
if you're financially able there are doctors you can visit to help with this problem.
Loud snoring is often a sign of sleep apnea, which is a serious health problem. Get your wife to an ear, nose, and throat doctor, and a sleep specialist, ASAP!

Good point. Poor sleeping hygiene can be a source of many sleep issues, such as snoring, insomnia and apnea. According to various sources, stress and inappropriate sleeping conditions affect it as well. You will need a decent bed as well as the best pillow for back sleepers with sleep apnea. Also, you should better contact your therapist and physician and ask about it, that would be wise. You don't want her to get ill and become attached to the CPAP machine.

#9 Cut down the heat

Another important hair care tip would be avoid exposing your hair too much to heat. Avoid using hair dryers for drying your hair. Let them dry naturally. It might take some time but it will surely prevent your hair from becoming frizzy. But if you are using hair dryer, make sure you keep it on low heat setting.

Thanks for this article, especially part 9. I tried to dry my hair naturally after every wash but it was still frizzy. I think that using a hair dryer on low heat setting is actually helpful. I would suggest using infra-heat ionic dryer such as MHU or Conair ones. You can try using it with ion disperser, that should definitely eliminate frizz for sure until you wash you hair again. There's a good article about the quietest hair dryer you can get between these I already mentioned above, you should check it.

Oga, help yourself. Go and buy motorcycle and save yourself the headache of "had I known"

I agree, having a motorcycle is way more convenient in my opinion. It takes less space and from my experience, you will spend less money on gas with it. A couple of things you should consider before buying a bike is a proper seat pad (but that could be easily fixed, here check this article) and proper motorcycle suit including a helmet.

Music/Radio / Re: What Is The Best Speaker Brand? by Bananaz: 11:54am On Feb 07, 2020
MrBrownJay1:
It all depends on the purpose of these speakers..... A home speaker would be different than studio speaker who also would be different from outdoor speaker or nightclub speakers.

Apart from being overpriced (thanks to their design), you can easily find equally great home speakers (Bose for example) for Half the price of any B&O speaker. Just like Beat headphones being shitty headphones (sound wise) but with great design.

I agree with that. People buy those mostly to show off, you can get some decent speakers for less money. Personally, I like JBL and Dynaudio brands, though both are pricey, but work great with TVs, but I use those mostly to listen to music recordings, can be easily paired with music interfaces as mentioned on Simplydrum. So consider this as an option if you're a musician.

Food / Re: Insomnia/sleeplessness:proven Ways To Deal With It by Bananaz: 8:36am On Jan 24, 2020
Stevemartinsu:

Chronic insomnia can even contribute to serious medical problems.

Insomnia is simply the inability to fall asleep or maintain a good sleep in the night, and as a result, keeps one awake or makes one unable to stay asleep as supposed to. It is not about the number of hours you sleep at night as different people sleep for different number of hours, but the satisfaction one derives from one's sleep. You could sleep for 8 hours at night and still feel fatigued or weak in the day. It's a sign of insomnia. Causes of insomnia can differ from person to person and it can be as a result of taking too much caffeine in the day or thinking about a problem to a serious underlying medical condition.

Thanks for sharing, I liked this article a lot. From my experience, I would say that both insomnia and hypersomnia can be very harmful to your health, but there's more to that. According to various sources, like this article about dyssomnia vs parasomnia for example, might lead to other sleeping disorders like sleep apnea, which sometimes may be lethal.
That's why you should be concerned about your sleep hygiene and stress level. I would also recommend reducing daily caffeine intake as much as possible.

they are 7 month old puppies what are you expecting?
so because your dogs aren't active security dogs at 7 months you want to kill them?
are you okay?
if you like be taking advice from people commenting that they had dogs like that and they sold them to be eaten, most of them saying that have never had dogs before, they just want few nairaland likes.
your dogs are puppies

Hello. I hope you and your pups are okay. I agree with IamAnderson that some puppies aren't born security dogs and that's completely okay. If you want them to become real "killers" that will require some training. They were 7 months old when you started this topic and according to this page https://doggolab.com/ it's not late to find a dog trainer for them. Cheers.

You need to go see a doctor, sleep apnea has a lot of effect on the body that’s y u get angry easily because your body is not getting enough rest.
The recommended hours of sleep each night is 8 hours.

Well, to the truth, the sleep apnea needs some time to be cured, better make an appointment with your doctor. Also, you may check an article on https://sleepingmola.com/ about this disorder. Apnea is more dangerous than it looks, it's not just a deep annoying snore, it's a regular breathing disruption which might cause severe damage to your organism.

I don't see anything wrong with sleek good-looking hair, it was always considered as beautiful in every country. And I am ashamed that some people neglect it and I think that's because their parents haven't taught them about proper hair routine. But at least nowadays you have access to various resources which can fill this knowledge gap. Thanks to the internet now I know that my hair type is 3C and I have all the styling tools to maintain it.

Show picture so we know what it looks like

It looks like this

I also think that things like a chainsaw, either gas or electric ones, are important too. The advantages are obvious. You can get rid of trees and trunks you don't want to have on your land. Later you can make a pile of firewood with it, which is the main reason for me to get such a tool. As for me I prefer gas-powered chainsaws more because I have regular blackouts in my area. Also, as Electrogardentools says, electric chainsaws are very limited in mobility because of the cord.
Fashion / Re: 11 Ways To Get Thicker Hair by Bananaz: 10:26am On Oct 29, 2019
This seems like a given, but getting great-looking hair is nearly impossible when you're constantly damaging it. "If women want thicker-looking hair, they should immediately stop flat ironing it and refrain from using too much conditioner in the shower," says Toth. Taking precautions like using heat protectant spray, not over-washing your hair, and always using SPF on your locks before you step into the sun can totally rescue your hair, making it look thicker and stronger in no time.

I'm going to bump this thread and put my two cents here.
Yes, there's no universal key to have great-looking hair. There are so many aspects to consider during your daily hair care routine, even the article above can't cover it all. From my perspective, if you want to have thicker-looking hair and don't want to give up on using a flat iron then I would recommend checking this article on Mystraightener about those designed for black hair. I think this might be useful.
Agriculture / Re: How To Grow And Manage Lawns by Bananaz: 1:13pm On Oct 16, 2019
Josh929:
You don't have to search for grass seedlings, there are places that sell grass seeds that you just spread on a prepared ground soil and watch how it grows. Soil preparation is important, if your soil is stripped of its top soil or its a hard pan your lawn grass is not going to do well or even grow.

Indeed. I would also suggest some extra fertilizers and soil nutrients for you. Usually it consists of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. All those elements are completely organic. Though you must be careful to not overdo it because excessive amounts of phosphorous may actually harm the plants. That's why people use fertilizer spreaders as mentioned here https://bumpercroptimes.com/best-fertilizer-spreader/ because it's just easier to spread soil effectively and thus fully prepare it for planting.
Car Talk / Re: Five Tips For Riding A Motorcycle In The Rain by Bananaz: 12:40pm On Oct 16, 2019
Good point about choosing proper gear. I have different sets for every weather and I could say that's a good investment, especially the rain suit. I tried a lot of these and eventually, I stopped on choosing Viking Cycle and BMW Unisex. By the way, this site https://yourmotobro.com/best-motorcycle-rain-suit/ helped me a lot in choosing these as well as other gear.
Also a good point about mentioning the 'helmet puzzle'. You definitely should spend hours and even days before choosing the right one.

Well, that's... a quite impressive record actually. Yeah, you may say Honda just wants to keep being recognizable and associated with cars. That's quite a clever move, besides it looks like they were watching Top Gear, especially this episode which has already become a meme and decided to use it for the marketing.

It's way slower than that Honda mentioned above, but hey, it can deal with 3 acres of grass in one hour. I think it's impressive too.

you're dealing with a puppy and you are saying suicide? do you think a dog being food aggressive is a good behavior? you provide food for the dog and the dog should know it will only eat if you allow it to, you better open your mind to learn or there's no need getting a dog.

Well, that's not true. There are various reasons for a puppy to be aggressive despite you provide it with food regularly. Here's an article about making your dog less aggressive, I think it might help you. You said you the previous owner didn't tell you anything about the pup, maybe it was treated badly before he handed it to you. Anyway, with some time and patience, you could calm it and socialize. Be safe. Also, waiting for the new pics wink

I miss my five cats,
Such angelic innocence in one gaze,
I'll advise you head over to petshop plus, they have kitten replacement milk and royal canin for cats, get them a fibronin based lice, fleas and tick treatment cos they are susceptible to them alot, vaccinate them especially against rabbies and cat diphtheria. I wish I knew all these when I had mine. Cats have problem with cow milk, chocolate, caffeine, paracetamol and in all, they are animals and as animals, they should be treated like kids. Make sure you deworm her regularly.
Mine were Abigail, Sabina, tusha, cabbana and Rebecca.

Hi guys.. I just got my first cat.... I don't even know what to name her yet.

Any advice on how best to take care of her, what she will eat and hpw to make her know were to poop and do her things?

Also i am thinking of spaying her latet in the future ..

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

She looks healthy. Where did you find her? If she's taken right from streets you really need to take her to the vet clinic immediately.
Some people think that a domestic cat needs only a bowl and a litterbox, that's not true. Buying a cat house or small bed is up to you, but check this article, even indoor cats need flea prevention measures. That's why you should have a flea collar and shampoo because you're definitely don't want you and your pet to be bitten by fleas.
Here's my cat, Sheela.
