A Mustang would have been able to get at the squishy construction workers at the bottom of that hole.

I’m curious why his name isn’t being used in the coverage. I suspect if one of the westerners had been the one to go missing we’d be using their name and not just calling them “a client climber”.

At the time of that ascent Tenzing was probably the most experienced Everest climber in the world. He’d be on Everest expeditions for 18 years prior to the 1953 one starting as a porter. If not for the weather he would have summited with Lambert the year before, which is particularly impressive given that they were…

No problem, I get that most of the people on here are Americans and that the discussion is largely about the US context.

Where I live the shoe guy is making probably about the same hourly as the server but without tips on top of it.

Shoe guy gets paid the same as servers where I live $12.65 minimum.

I was specifically talking about buffet work rather than full service. I should also clarify that where I live the minimum wage for servers is either $12.65 or $11.40 if you serve alcohol. When you combine that with average tips in the 15-20% range servers make WAY more money than retail workers. Which is fine given…

Where I live minimum wage is $12.65 or $11.40 if you’re serving alcohol.

Right? If I go to a shoe store I don’t tip the sales person even though they presumably did a bunch of general work setting up displays, working the till etc. and provided me with some direct service as well.  

If I had the money I’d love to do a conversion on a Hiace. It was out of my price range but I was barely able to restrain myself on this BaT auction:

Yeah, I’d love to get a Pajero/Montero for backroading and camping. 

I’m sure there’s a jalopnik staff slashfic thread somewhere.

Also why Mitch McConnell has never run nationally.

That shooting must have been pretty fucking bad for a cop to do time for it at all.

Normal for Spanish at least. In english most people don’t tap their Rs.

There’s definitely a line to walk between butchering the original language and sounding like a pretentious dick.

Yep, that’s a tap R not a trilled R.

I hadn’t noticed them before, but I really like those cuffs as well. 

No no no, these things will be positioned around the schools at all times so that in the case of a fire they can be deployed quickly.

If you listen to these Fox News assholes, all teachers would be 18Bs if we only gave them some weapons.
