@futurebird Elder abuse via online or text message scams is common, effective and hugely embarrassing to the folks who are victimized by it. I wish that we had more cops working on it, and stiffer penalties for the perpetrators.

Age verification but you can't look at media if you're over 65 without your children's permission. -
Some acacia trees produce little energy/protein bars for ants.@futurebird We saw this in the Serengeti: Acacia trees had dense and active ant populations. You mostly had to look close to see them, but if you disturbed the foliage, they boiled out of their hiding places. Our naturalist guide told us that they were a huge deterrent to giraffes who would otherwise feed on the leaves.
Ecosystems and evolution and the evolution of ecosystems are just breathtaking.
