Tangential:

(As a FW-curious noob I wondered if Gemini understand, Why do foxes struggle, compared to wolves of all gender)

>Yes, many fox species, particularly the red fox, exhibit more neotenous (juvenile-like) traits compared to wolves, such as shorter muzzles, larger eyes relative to head size, and different skull development, reflecting a divergence in evolutionary paths within the canid family, with foxes often retaining softer, more generalized features compared to the larger, more specialized wolf. While wolves are highly SOCIAL pack animals with traits adapted for cooperative hunting, foxes are generally SOLITARY, and this difference in lifestyle and morphology highlights their distinct evolutionary strategies, with foxes leaning towards juvenile-like features in their adult forms.

Hows foxwork doin

View on HN

Wolves work together to bring down large prey and with their large digestive tracts they "wolf it down".

Foxes have a small digestive tract (makes them lightweight so they can jump and pounce on prey) and can't even eat a whole rabbit so they eat a bit and bury the rest under a layer of dirt (to hide it from other animals) and leaf litter (to hide it from birds.) A fox will lose an occasional cache to another fox but will occasionally find a cache from another fox so it evens out. Foxes in a given territory usually have some family relationship so it works from a sociobiological level, it's their form of "social hunting".

For me this week it's been about practicing autonomic control, I've been building biofeedback systems and getting to the bottom of heart rate variability and working towards a biosynchronization demo. Also working to start an anime theme song cover band (Absolute Territory) where I am clearly the "kitsune" (AT-00) but more of a band manager than a mascot. I've got the all-purpose guitarist (AT-01) but I'm still casting AT-02, AT-03 and such.

... and boy do I have a technique now to find out people and places that are identity driven and those who are not.

Ha putting the zettai ryoiki back into Eva I see

E: On the offchance of further participation, JD Vance (eg) has the look of a fox masquerading as a wolf :)

(Mamdani going for the same look, but its just more convincing somehow)

Places? As in workplaces? Or servers

Places.

One interesting discovery is that people are really dour about it at places that hire a lot of enby's [1] but overall enby people who are by themselves or working at places where 10% or fewer people are enby really dig somebody who represents "oceanic reservoir of calm" [2] with a kidult presentation of self.

[1] "non-binary"

[2] fox old enough to have earned nine tails

So these 10% enby presumably tend to be "silent enbys"?

Hmm. Gotta investigate whether HN (the HQ) has (or aims for) the magic ~10% enby. (I had suspected as such but you again voiced what was in my subconscious!!)

I'm guessing there's a parallel observation (or technique[0]) for people..

A request for AT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbJrFALSVZ8 (did UY's "Rock the Planet" make any shout-outs to it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96mZc82fYGc )

E: Score! TIL about the UY remake, eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEVhv4eB8Q8
