Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80
The commenter you replied to said bacteria "influences" the brain, and provided a source to that effect. I don't know where you got the idea that anybody - but you - said anything about completely controlling the brain.

If you check the photos it doesn't look like there are any screw holes on the actual shelf.

If you don't opt to fix it yourself, you'd want a handyman for that. Expect to pay for a minimum number of hours, not just the time the person is working.

Reply to comment by OrangeYouGlad100 in What is the max joist span for a deck with deck blocks? by OrangeYouGlad100
One thing I've heard engineers say is: "Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands."
The point is that to make something truly economical that will last takes a lot of experience. And what counts as "barely stands" to an engineer is not the same as what it means to you.
Yes if you just slap up a deck it'll be ok for a few years. But I wouldn't get carried away trying to lighten designs and skimp out on footings without a good working understanding of what time, water, and gravity will do to the ground and materials you are using for the deck.
Or if you are ok with things starting to get shitty in a couple years... Go for it I guess.

Reply to Best way to get trade’s attention when self-contracting a new home. by chasinrussian
Not sure there's a magic bullet you're looking for. Those trades usually prioritize people who give them lots of work, and you'll just be giving them one job. Of course it will be harder to get their attention.
It's going to be hard every step of the way, too - from getting them to come back to fix problems, to getting them to bill you reasonable amounts.
Good luck!
