   I'm thinking one use case would be embedding in a web app. For example, a chat room or forum that "unfurls" links to show a preview (a'la Slack or Discourse) could benefit from showing a high resolution Favicon, e.g. if

    In some zones, whole-house ventilation fans (which are installed in the ceiling below the attic) are excellent and efficient ways to cool and/or ventilate a house quickly—by exhausting the air in the living area of the house up and out

    I'm reminded of what you would get (aside from a ruined needle) when you played some records backwards. One example I remember: if you play the opening line of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" ("life is a mystery") it
