It looks like the Star Trek TNG episode “Masks” symbol that Data (as an old man sitting by a fire called it “masaka’s temple”…
A line, as the unending horizon. A curve as the rolling hillside. A point as a distant bird. A ray as the rising sun.

VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•E-Try-cicles carshare and selling business could be a banger in promoting e-vehicles3·8 months agoFuture shower tip, avoid heavy buzzwords (promo, business, fear, etc). Showerthoughts typically sound like laid-back ideas since an actual shower is quite similar and relaxed.
Bicycle riding is relaxing and fun. I got that notion late after re-rereading the post.
VicksVaporBBQrub@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•E-Try-cicles carshare and selling business could be a banger in promoting e-vehicles1·8 months agoThere are cities near coatlines and beaches that rent quad-cycles for tourists, sightseeing, pedicab taxi, etc. More offen, they stay broken longer compared to the standard 2-wheel bicycle for rent. In my youth I had a tricycle (20" wheels and a rear basket) that hauled daily about 70 newspapers in one trip. My downside, maintenance was never a simple walmart fix and the tricycle had a very short service life in the paperboy business. Teenage me relied more on my Huffy bicycle and 2nd refill trips for those heavy sunday papers. Reliability vs truckability (if that’s an actual word 😉). And on the business-side there’s the cost. Someone will need to have a proper dedicated bicycle workshop. A “backroom to fix bikes” will never cut it for the evermore complicated modern bike\e-bike.

These fans are designed specifically for entire space ventilation. They sound like tiny jet engines. The same fans that inflate bouncy fun houses or the fans you sometimes see on a storefront wet floor during a rainy day to blow dry. Output rates of small units 100 to 500cfm (cubic feet per minute) will replace all air inside a 2-car garage space every hour. Mid range blowers 600-900cfm will replace that same air space every 5-10min (approx. 6x per hour). Higher velocity blowers >1000cfm will clear an entire 1-story house (typically for HVAC or factory use) and is more efficient and quieter than the biggest attic fan style unit.
After you have bought the raw power of air movement, then experiment with positive pressure and negative pressure flow setups (suck vs. blow). And then finally other per room or per window configurations as needed.
Not too many Luigis living in the US I can assume. No big perks or benefits from it. One time a teacher said, “I don’t know how to spell Luigi… so I’ll call you Lewis”, and slapped that hello-my-name-is nametag on me.
Only Chuck Norris can use a copy machine and get an original.

I’m guessing basically that – learning old history, topping one’s collection with the most obscurest\rarest item, etc.

Any cool story behind it? Like it’s inherited from royalty, it’s got 3 different fruits on it, etc?

A wormhole type time machine would leave the travel points A and B physically independent of each other. This opens up the option to change destinations… step in at New York, exit in San Francisco.
