    4X more people speak English as a second language than those of us that speak it as a their only language.

    Some of us don’t speak it too good still

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    BREAKING NEWS

    At least 1,200 Twitter workers resigned Thursday, people close to Twitter said, decimating key teams as Elon Musk tried to contain the damage.
    Friday, November 18, 2022 4:00 PM ET

    Mr. Musk emailed Twitter employees this morning with a plea: “Anyone who actually writes software, please report to the 10th floor at 2 p.m. today,” he wrote in a two-paragraph message, which was viewed by The New York Times. “Thanks, Elon.”

    The Earth can now be said to weigh about six ronnagrams, instead of 6,000 yottagrams. Jupiter can be described as having a mass of about 1.9 quettagrams, instead of just 1.9 million yottagrams. And an electron’s weight is one rontogram, or 0.001 yoctograms.

    OK, but how many instagrams is it? Huh? Yeah, let's hear about that!

    Parasite makes leaders of the pack
    Wolves infected with a parasite that commonly infects cats are more likely to become leaders of the pack or strike out on their own. In a data set spanning 27 years, wolves in Yellowstone National Parkthat were infected with Toxoplasma gondii were 46 times more likely to become pack leaders and 11 times more likely to start a new pack than were uninfected animals. “Parasites might have a much larger role than anyone generally gives them credit for,” says wildlife ecologist and study co-author Connor Meyer.
