Steelcore Mark I: While relatively crude and unrefined, Strace was successfully able to implement many of the core concepts which made their way into final design.

When the situation is desperate enough to call for it, Strace employs the Ultra Steelcore armor, whose destructive weaponry is unmatched by any competing tech.

Any youth subcultures like emos, punks, ect...?

That's a great question! I'm not sure if you had a specific region in mind, so I'll just throw a few random ones from Zareen Empire out there since they have the most development. If you want to know about subcultures from a specific region, just let me know!

These subcultures aren't exclusive to young people, but they do tend to be more common among them.

Steelheads

They all share a love of loud, hard music called "steelcore". They smear coal stripes on their faces. Males shave their heads bald and smear coal stripes on their heads too, while females grow their hair long and dye it black. They wear black and gray clothes with lots of heavy steel embellishments and accessories. Pieces of armor like spiked pauldrons, kneepads, and gauntlets are common, and so are metal facial and body piercings. It's taboo for steelheads to laugh and smile. They try to force a serious demeanor at all times.

Gem Girls

A fashion-based subculture that's most popular with young Zareenite women, although some men and older women participate too. No matter their sex they are still called "Gem Girls". They can be identified by their extremely sparkly outfits. They wear lots of sequins, sparkly jewelry, and deep jewel tones. They also tend to dye their hair rich colors and add sparkly accessories to it. Of course their makeup sparkles too, and they wear fake nails with little crystals on them. Gem girls wouldn't be caught dead playing in the mud or doing anything that might get them dirty.

Screeners

This technology-based subculture is male-dominated, but there are female screeners too. They are obsessed with all manner of screened devices, from television to computers. They are passionate about media and many of them are quite smart, but they have a reputation for bad personal hygiene and poor social skills from spending so much time looking at screens.

Magies

Magies are usually commoners, but can also be gaians, and even fae in some rare cases. Their name is derived from the word "mage" because they share a common interest in magic, even though they themselves cannot cast spells. The magie subculture is divided between those who realize they cannot cast spells but study them anyway, and those who believe they can cast spells if they just practice hard enough. These two groups don't really get along, believing the other is weird and crazy. The former is called "Soft magies" and the latter are "Hard magies". However, the rest of society thinks all magies are a little weird and crazy.

Rusties

These are basically weaboos who obsess over all things Damijani. They are called "rusties" because Damijana is also known as the Irontree Kingdom, and these people are seen as unsightly rust clinging to that iron tree. They may be male or female, any age or species, but this subculture is most popular among kids and teens who later grow out of it. They prefer Damijani media, cuisine, fashion, and customs over their own culture, consuming and imitating these foreign things...often with cringy or downright offensive results.

That's all I have for now!

Pt. 3 of my obssessive and deranged song-by-song review of The Tortured Poets Department

See part 1 and part 2

14. "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" (Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner)

This song has gradually, gradually grown on me. On my first listen-through of TTPD, I immediately disliked it. "Smallest Man" is one of those songs that has a steelcore bridge but some pretty flimsy verses and a fragile chorus. I admire the anger and rage—when Swift sings, "You deserve prison, but you won't get time," it reminded me of how I felt about some breakups I went through, and how it felt like the level of emotional damage these guys caused should have been a crime.A lot of fans seem to love "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived," but to me, it's a 4/10 at best.

15. "The Alchemy" (Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff)

After the tracklist was released, but before the album actually came out, I anticipated "The Alchemy" being my favourite song, mostly because the title was mysterious and did not immediately indicate any particular tone or mood. I've said before that often, Swift's most mysterious or vaguely titled songs are her best. Do I still feel that way about "The Alchemy?" I wouldn't call it my favourite song on TTPD, but I absolutely love the woozy, slow-paced, intro. "The Alchemy" starts off as a Mazzy Star song, but slides into typical Swiftian territory towards the chorus—the rolling rhymes, idioms and metaphors and romantic subject matter are textbook for her. I wish that Jack had pushed her a little harder to slow down and let the Mazzy Star vibes flor a little longer. The other issue I have with "The Alchemy" is that the metaphors are confused. Most of the song uses football/sports metaphors, obviously referencing Travis Kelce, but then there's a few drug and potion metaphors (such as the "alchemy" of the title, but also chemicals hitting like white whine, heroin/heroine pun). Overall, I really enjoyed the sound and mood of "The Alchemy." I think lyrically, it needs some revision, but musically, Antonoff really hits the spot with his almost drunken reverberating guitar and slow drumbeat.

16. "Clara Bow" (Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner)

Dessner signals his presence on "Clara Bow" with muffled shoegaze guitar chords that sobers us and brings us back down from the "Alchemy" high. But though Dessner's influence shows through in the melody, the lyrics of this song are pure, 100%—I would be shocked if anyone else had writing input. Here we have Taylor's interest in vintage Hollywood and old Americana (see "The Lucky Ones" or "the last great american dynasty" or even "Timeless"), as well as her prevailing anxiety about aging out of fame and beauty (per "Nothing New.") The lyrics are simple but clear and devastating—I particularly enjoyed "breath of fresh air through smoke rings" and "flesh and blood amongst war machines." The melody is simple but effective, the narrative voice flickering between first-person past (the naive young ingenue), first-person present (real Taylor admits to the grind of fame and beauty) and a kind of first-person plural Greek chorus of gushing studio and label executives. I think that "Clara Bow" is one of the top three songs on Side 1 of TTPD, along with the title track and "Guilty As Sin?."

17. "The Black Dog" (Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff)

"The Black Dog" has some clever wordplay and beautiful lyrics, but something about the melody and rhythm doesn't work for me. I think it's getting back to my dislike for the quiet verse/loud chorus dynamics that also irritated me on "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" Sorry, Nirvana fans. I just don't dig it. That said, I like the fictional conceit of an ex who forgets to turn off his iPhone tracker, or a pub that also serves as a metaphor for depression.

18. "imgonnagetbyouback" (Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff).

This is also a song that I initially disliked—for quite a while—and it has grown on me to some extend. I don't think I could ever love imgonnagetyouback, and I think Taylor Swift must feel the same way, or she wouldn't have given it this unbearable title. There's something halfhearted about this song, like Taylor wasn't terribly interested in making it, but someone from the label convinced her to. There's a couple of tired Taylor-isms on it, like her comparison of a relationship to a car crash (yawn). But, like all of my least favourite Taylor Swift songs, there's always one part that makes me smile, and here it's, "EVEN IF IT'S HANDCUFFED, I'M LEAVING HERE WITH YOU." Still, what is this reputation outtake doing on The Tortured Poets Department?

19. "The Albatross" (Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner)

It's like Aaron Dessner woke from a 100-year-slumber and dug his way out of an overgrown Victorian graveyard with his fingernails and then crawled into the remains of the "ivy" house to compose this song. It made me smile to hear Taylor throwing back to evermore era with "The Albatross," though what this song lacks is a unique identity as a member of the Tortured Poets Department era. I still think the orchestrations are beautiful, and I love the refrain of "terrible danger."

20. "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus" (Taylor Swift, Aaron Dessner)

This song suffers from the opposite problem that "The Black Dog" has. The melody is beautiful, but something about the lyrics isn't working for me. What Taylor does best is the specificity with which she writes relationships—every anecdote and moment feels both intensely personal to her, and yet, universally relatable. I think Taylor veered a little too far to the "universally relatable" side here, writing a song that feel familiar to anyone who's struggled to support a friend or lover with an addiction—but she's not selling the story. It feels artificial. But I do love the gentle, teasing guitar and Dessner's moody piano. It reminds me of Big Red Machine's "Birch."

Stay tuned for parts 4 and 5 of my song-by-song review of The Tortured Poets Department.

What are fire protection tanks?

Fire protection tanks (or water storage tanks) play a vital role in protecting fresh water in drier areas from wildfires and contamination. They are often found on farms, wineries, and industrial zones in places where water is scarce. Simply put, they are a necessity in regions prone to fires and drought. Thousands of rural American businesses rely on modern water storage containers for their operations today.

High-quality tanks are generally designed with galvanized steel and are bolted into the ground. Others are simply constructed with carbon welded and factory coated steel. The structures themselves are typically round and silo-like, with pointed steel roofs. They can be found all over the dry areas of California, where wildfires run rampant in the summertime.

The need to protect your water from fires is increasing

Between 1978 and 2013, the length of the wildfire season increased by 19%. To make matters worse, the NOAA estimates that half of the United States is in drought – and as dry seasons become longer, water is becoming an even scarcer resource. Not only are summers becoming drier, but wildfires are becoming more frequent, putting precious resources like water at risk which is why Fire Protection Tanks are more important than ever.

The unfortunate truth is that there has never been a more important time for businesses to ensure their water remains protected from natural disasters.

As a result, water storage tanks are no longer just about storing water for the long term. Hundreds of businesses around the country are using these tanks to ensure their water remains fresh, uncontaminated, and safe from the elements. Companies like SteelCore are dedicated to keeping your water safe so that your business or farm can thrive, even in the harshest conditions. We have been in business since 2016, and have become one of the most trusted names in the industry.

What makes a good fire protection tank?

California Fire Code holds storage tanks to a high standard – after all, when some of the worst wildfires in the country happen in Northern California, it is important that storage tanks are built with precision.

The Sonoma County website has a detailed list of all the requirements and exceptions as well. However, one of the main requirements is that a tank should meet the standards of NFPA 22. NFPA simply stands for National Fire Protection Agency, with standard materials including galvanized steel or fiberglass-reinforced plastic.

Generally, water storage tanks over 5,000 gallons need a permit, in addition to sitting on a concrete foundation. Make sure to check with your county’s fire code, as your exact requirements may change depending on your location.

As far as fire protection tanks go, SteelCore designs and sell some of the highest quality ones on the market. Unlike tanks from other companies, SteelCore’s tanks are manufactured with corrugated, galvanized steel. Because of their tough design, they can survive an array of environmental conditions and meet several more standards than carbon welded tanks.  Truly the definition of heavy-duty, these tanks can withstand wind speeds of nearly 170 MPH and survive up to a zone 4 seismic earthquake.

Finding a high-quality storage tank

With so many designs on the market, it can be overwhelming to choose a proper storage tank. There are a lot of factors to consider before making a purchase, and we at SteelCore want you to make the most educated decision as possible.

One important consideration is storage capacity. Tanks come in a variety of sizes and capacities, so it is important to have a solid understanding of your water needs. Luckily, SteelCore has a calculator tool to help determine what dimensions you may need depending on your water capacity.

Similarly, it is important to take the materials and the foundation into consideration. Tanks that are bolted to concrete foundations like SteelCore’s are often more durable and can withstand more hazards than their smaller, unbolted counterparts.

The material of the water tank is important as well. This ensures that you can use the water for irrigation or drinking. This is usually denoted with an NSF certification, which essentially states that the water is potable. However, the material and tank you go with will ultimately depend on what you use your water for.

For example, if your business of farm uses a large amount of water, one possible solution is a 1,000,000 gallon galvanized water storage tank. Certified to NSF, NFPA and OSHA standards, this mammoth tank has astounding protections against fire and environmental disasters, all the while keeping the water inside potable.As with anything, be sure to read your county’s fire code before committing to a storage tank. SteelCore representatives are always available to answer any questions and point you in the right direction. After you have decided, our experienced installers will work with you to ensure the installation process goes smoothly and that your water remains fire protected.

The only #ammo suitable for hunting Leprechauns is the armor piercing #greentip #steelcore #556NATO #FullMetalJacket due to the stubbornly thick skin of these elvish creatures.
