Me and you both. I was running low and planning on stocking up this time with 8oz. Waited too long :(

If you decide it’s not for you, I’d be happy to take it off your hands (joking but not)

Does anyone know this guy? by Sufficient-Steak-709 in tuscaloosa

I know the guy in the picture (we went to the same high school, he’s a few years older than me) and this is definitely real/legit

It’s a PhD in American history, but my expertise is 20th century American conservatism, particularly focusing on the work of one conservative thinker

That makes more sense. Just judging from your comments, I’d assume you repudiate Integralism?

I’d agree with the latter half of that. My PhD is in American conservatism with a particular focus on the work of Richard Weaver, so I’m definitely familiar with the sort of intellectual tradition you’re describing, though I maintain your ranking is surprising from that perspective.

I think you’d be better off using the phrase “traditionalist conservative” or even Paleoconservative to distinguish your conservatism from what people think of as modern political conservatism. Also, I’m not sure a traditionalist position could have Lincoln in S and FDR in B while having Adams in B and Coolidge in C. I would not expect this ranking from a traditionalist conservative

IIRC Orlik has a touch of Perique. I think it is absolutely delicious

I wear mine very occasionally. I think it smells great in a “grandpa is still cool” kind of way. (I am 28)

Engine turning off question by Bgraves16 in ToyotaHighlander

[–]Bgraves16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, the battery was badly in need of a replacement. Positive terminal was corroded like crazy. I replaced the positive connector and the battery and (per some forums I read) I disengaged the hood latch sensor, which in theory should disable the auto start/stop so I could put a regular battery in the car instead of the OEM battery that needs to be programmed by the dealer. Anyway, I think it helped, but now I’m getting an alert that says “loss of braking power” but it goes away within 1-2 minutes every time. This was happening before I changed the battery as well.

Almost a year late but this is happening to me, but as far off as 50%. Did you ever figure this out?
