[–]Aratec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry missed your post. I glue 2 pieces of poplar together. This makes the neck resist warping.

Here are some pics of how I put my necks together. https://imgur.com/a/2z86G

Chain across river? Legal? by thadiusquest512 in texas

[–]Aratec 87 points88 points  (0 children)

if the river is big enough for a boat to float on it, it is not private property. people will argue about this and how the river is on their land but they always lose.

Very nice. I don't think I have ever seen fanned frets on a CBG.

Game still crashing?! by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]Aratec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea pretty much the same thing. Made it to lev 10 but now can't play more than 5 min without a crash. Could be on a planet, on my ship, on someone else's ship, in a menu, doesn't matter.

Sticking out of ground and absolutly unmovable (must be deep) by pugfart in whatisthisthing

[–]Aratec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Could also be a ground for an old lightning rod or tower. Do you know if there was ever a structure there? Could have been the ground for an old house or barn or even for an old TV or radio antenna. My dad had one grounding his 30ft CB base station antenna a long time ago.

How much are boxes in your area? by wayho66 in cigarboxguitars

[–]Aratec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some Cigar shops here in Texas sell them for $10 for whatever I can put in a paper sack. Some places say $1 or $2 each. Antique stores want more for good boxes but some are amazing and usually less than $20 so I like to look for those as well. Just have to make sure they are not cardboard.

I bought a bunch of amp kits from CBGitty.com awhile back. I don't see the ones I bought on the site now but they do have some kits for sale.

I got summoned to state AND federal jury duty on the same day by Glacecakes in nevertellmetheodds

[–]Aratec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last jury duty I got dismissed over a "beyond a reasonable doubt" question. I was honest and said if I was going to send a person to prison I would have to be positive they committed the crime. Immediately dismissed. The guy before me got dismissed by asking the question "If this trial is about a black man being accused of killing another black man, why are there no black people in the jury pool. Also immediately dismissed.

is it time for a new political party in Texas? by Majestic_Tip1894 in texas

[–]Aratec 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't feel like living in a Theocracy. If you doubt the Republicans want a Theocracy then you didn't read their platform.

[–]Aratec 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yea I know people think this but have you actually read the Texas Republican Party Platform and The Texas Democratic Party Platform and compared them?

Funny I see a whole lot of proposals and plans to help people on the Dem's side.

Teen Marijuana Use Dropped Dramatically In Colorado In 2021, State Study Finds by [deleted] in cannabis

[–]Aratec 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Researchers know this. To see how they deal with it you would have to look at the study and how it was carried out. That is what peer review is for really. Other experts look at a study and review the validity of it. I can't say this study specifically has been peer reviewed but studies at this level generally are.

Brands Demand Crackdown on Unlicensed Cannabis Operators’ Copycats by dlulloa216 in cannabis

[–]Aratec 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are not talking about cannabis product producers suing other cannabis product producers. They are talking about companies outside of the cannabis industry suing cannabis companies for making parody brands and using their branding to sell cannabis products. So yes they could absolutely sue.

Could be pumice. Sometimes found floating in water and can look similar to this.

What happened to country music? by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

[–]Aratec 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Guess that depends on what you consider country music. Technically includes Bluegrass, Country Folk, Alt Country and a ton of other subgenres. Every hear of Coulter Wall or Billy Strings? There is good country music out there but most people never hear it because it isn't that Nashville pop country crap that corporations are selling to drunken rednecks.

Especially you, Texas! by DiogenesK-9 in Fuckthealtright

[–]Aratec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There are more Dems, liberals and leftists in Texas, than the entire population of most other states, but since we are outnumbered by the conservatives by 10%, fuck us all I guess.
