This brought back so many memories! My class in 5th grade did something like this, just of course with them closer together. Since the back of the school isn’t gigantic.

Foxes learn how to bark after domestication breeding. They also develop tail wagging and other "dog like" behaviour.

Friendly foxes are cleverer - Nature

Domesticated foxes show evolution of social intelligence.

Maybe this might work with dingoes too?

Already knew about the Existence of domesticated Foxes.
But I don't think it would be that good of a Idea to try to domesticate Dingos (at least not purebred ones) because purebred Dingos are very rare which means that they definitely need to be protected.
I assume if it is like with Wolves that at least their Puppy's can bark, it would be possible

16gb Micron B-die ICs can take a tRRD_L equal to tRRD-S, but generally needs a 320ns or looser tRFC to be stable!

Don't you mean that you learned that your limbic system can be manipulated by the sight of fetishistic maid's costumes worn by a group of females engaging in provocative motions whilst they make weird noises on musical instruments?

There's a hack for a certain fairly well known piece of enterprise software that allows you to install legacy tools on a fresh installation, rather then have to go back and install an obsolete version and run multiple upgrades when building out replacement servers. These tools are required if you want to maintain legacy code. There are also major compatability issues to address. This saved me days of frustration...

Sworn to secrecy by the consultant (so not naming the software!). Apparently there's a lot of internal politics involved. Weird. But yay for the devs who slipped this one in.

EDIT: Not fascinating to everyone but an interesting example of official corporate stupidity. Or, possibly, attempting to make sure that customers pay big $$$ for consultants instead of doing the work themselves.

Not today but a couple of days ago I learned that those long cardboard boxes that contain rolls of clingfilm or tinfoil have little tabs you can push in at the ends which form little axles which keep the roll held in the box when you pull out the length of sheet you want. Blew my frickin' mind!!!

After frustrated googling at Work, I've learned that a Donkey can need a whole Year to trust a Human. I'm only working there since the last Week of last Month, so it will take some Time ._.
