"Years of experience" is correct. Experience is like coffee; it's a mass noun, not a quantitative noun. (I think we call them countable nouns but I have some Oz terminology in my rolodex and it's hard to tell the difference sometimes.) So "years experience" is like saying "he has cup coffee." Similar thing with "couple of questions." Saying you have "a couple questions" is like saying "I have pair shoes." That construction is actually colloquial in many areas of the country, but no, it's not grammatically correct. "Different from/to" is a little more complicated, because that's a weird Brit thing so Phibes would be your man for how accurate "Different to" is over there. But for us, it's "different from." Our weird variant, which is not correct, strictly speaking, is "different than."

I wonder if these people would like to join tncr.

Lock him up!

“Shoplifting does not kill you, it’s wrong, it’s breaking the law, but that’s not what gets you killed.” Yep.

@NobodySock There may however be something to your mirth although it does not involve technologically advanced extra-terrestrial beings. Just chemical bricks and mortar building blocks: "We now know from Bennu that the raw ingredients of life were combining in really interesting and complex ways on Bennu's parent body," Tim McCoy, curator of meteorites at the Smithsonian's Natural Museum of Natural History and lead author of the new mineral study, said in a news release. https://www.cbc.ca/news/science/asteroid-bennu-chemistry-1.7444567

BTW, at Sam's this morning (wish we had a Costco. 32lb bag of cat food and a rose plant.

Don't they have a birthrate problem?

@Jolly I agree. My father in law survived two strokes five years ago. He's paralysed on his left side, can't do anything without 24/24 assistance. Can't ask for euthanasia because of his mental incapacity. It's hell untill he will pass away. He's 91 and his health is pretty good, considering his situation. You don't wish this for your worst ennemy

Don’t bother. The alcohol is a big part of the taste and feel.

Either way, it’s a step. Next up will be the legal challenges, and ultimately Congress needs to address it.

I’m missing the tomato and meat, but the spices are on point and oyster crackers are great. A fine product! SO Cincinnati.

JD's Voice: "Today I was berated for not getting my discharges done before noon but also for not seeing the sickest patients first. I also lost access to the doctors lounge for billing too many 99213 and not enough 99215." Cut to scene of JD, bleary eyed, trying to click through a MAR hold.

@jon-nyc said in The Melania Picture: True. The one on the left I would make tender love to. The one on the right would only get a determined hate fuck. LOL!

@LuFins-Dad He was probably drunk.

I'm not clear who can make the decision to keep the vote private. Came across this, as one article's justification for opposition to Tulsi: Critics argue that her stance on national security issues, particularly her opposition to the PATRIOT Act and Section 702 of the FISA Amendment, could make her unsuitable for the DNI role. I respect opposition to the PATRIOT Act. Found this about Section 702 Fisa: WASHINGTON — The Biden administration faces an uphill battle to reauthorize a key surveillance tool, known as Section 702, before it expires at the end of the year as members of both parties of Congress push for big changes. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA, allows the government to conduct targeted surveillance of foreign nationals living outside the U.S. without needing to obtain a warrant. It has become increasingly controversial over the years. As recently as this month, a court opinion disclosed that FBI employees wrongly searched foreign surveillance data for the last names of a U.S. senator and a state senator. The opinion also said that another FBI employee ran a query using the Social Security number of a state judge who complained about alleged civil rights violations by a municipal chief of police. Critics of Section 702 worry that its powers are too broad and allow for the "incidental" collection of data on U.S. citizens and that the provision is ripe for abuse. I don't think I'll get too worried over opposition to that, either. But not mentioned was her perspective on Russia/Ukraine.
