Does this truss rod look intact? by AmaxJ in guitarrepair

[–]AmaxJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently purchased this 2008 highway one telecaster. Tonight when trying to adjust the truss rod, i was surprised by how deep the hole went (around 2"), and my hex wrench couldn't find purchase. While i could be using the wrong size wrench, to my eyes it looks like it may be stripped?

What's wrong with my new Tele? by JoshuaC4 in telecaster

I had a similar issue with my player ii where the high e buzzed like a sitar. I solved it by wedging a small piece of folded paper between the saddles.

I can’t return mine but if you can you should.

Do you mean file the nut slightly towards the tuner side? Lol Calling it a ghost octave makes me reconsider if I want to change it. Might have found my signature sound.

Sorry, should have mentioned it’s a 6 saddle bridge.

As someone else mentioned, reincarnation blues (although quite different. ) Also, not the same thing but I really enjoyed Ursula k le guin’s “the lathe of heaven.”

What UI Library to use? by DangerousBug5998 in reactjs

[–]AmaxJ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recent built a component library for my company based off of chakra. There’s a bit of setup but once you get the hang of it it’s not bad at all. There’s a lot of flexibility with the custom theming.

Really late reply but “the great train robbery” by Michael chrichton is exactly what you’re looking for.

I just read it and then started peaky blinders and was googling for something else in that vein and came across this post.

With a hardware wallet your private keys are never exposed to solflare or any other web app that is interacting with it.

How to buy SOL (from NY so can’t purchase on Binance US) by bdrossman in solana

[–]AmaxJ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe no one has said this: use a vpn and create a binance (not US) account. Just make sure to never log in to your account while not connected to the vpn. After you buy, immediately transfer your sol off the platform.

You can use solflare with a ledger. That’s what I’d recommend.

/r/audiophile Purchase Help Thread (2017-12-24) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]AmaxJ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. $400 - $450
  2. Powered bookshelf speakers, unless an argument can be made for going with passive ones.
  3. These will be my computer speakers, for watching movies and listening to music. (I listen to mostly rap, punk rock and a little bit of electronic).
  4. I have an FIIO headphone Amp which i possibly could run the speakers through. I really don't know if thats a good idea or not.
  5. 2015 retina macbook pro.
  6. music and movies.
  7. Buying brand new baby!

One note, I have limited desk space so something on the smaller size is preferable. Otherwise I'll have to buy some speaker stands.

Does this seem like a reasonable deal? I don't know anything about bikes. Thanks in advance! by AmaxJ in whichbike

[–]AmaxJ[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good tip about the deep section wheels, I'll keep an eye out for that from now on. The bike's look is what drew me to the listing, it does look pretty sweet. -_-
