Moon, 12:04am - Jax Teller x Reader
Tumblr media
SUMMARY: Jax walks you home but neither of you is willing to say 'goodnight' first.
WORDCOUNT: ~ 460
Brought to you by my obsession with the song Moon, 12:04am by offonoff
There's nothing lovelier than June nights. When the Sun sets, the air remains warm with a gentle, chilly breeze giving relief to those who are not exactly fond of hot weather. Although the darkness feels just as unending as it does in winter, it's not scary anymore. The stars overlook lone wanderers revelling in toasty weather and comfortable solitude; the dawn is lightyears away and until then, you don't have to be anything. There's something about June nights that makes the juvenile loss dreamy and not just a vice.
Or, perhaps, all nights are quite the same and it's the company that makes all the difference.
The streets are empty, save for single cars speeding down faraway alleys as though their engines revved in a world different from this. Despite the loudness of the motors, summer insects do not pause their song. From time to time, distant laughter resounds in the otherwise deserted town. People living in their own, little soap bubbles of comfort.
The heavy rings on his fingers aren't cold anymore. His skin feels rough and calloused like all hard-working hands do. The grip around your fingers is gentle and yet strangely firm as though this soft intimacy has always been deliberate.
Neither of you says anything but it's not necessarily a bad thing - this quietness speaks more than any words ever could.  It's hard to say whether this contentment even can be put into the confines of a language.
The dreaded moment finally comes when the two of you reach the porch of your house. So many hours until the break of day and yet the night has to end.
Reluctantly, you stop walking but never dare to pull your hand away from his. "This is me," you state.
Jax looks at you with a playful grin on his face. The adoration in his stare flusters you but despite that, you can't quite make yourself look away from him. "You sure it's not a few blocks farther?" he jokes. Although his question is supposed to be a jest, Jax himself is unable to completely extinguish the spark of hope hiding behind those words. You wonder whether he knows his thumb is rubbing the back of your hand.
A chuckle flies past your lips. "I'd like it to be."
The half-smile doesn’t leave his face as he leans in to kiss you. It’s a soft, gentle peck - more of an indulgence in a craving rather than a confession of any sort. Still, a sting of loneliness sprawls in your chest when he pulls away.
"Come on,” he says quietly. “It's not that late yet."
Jax tugs on your hand pulling you away from your house and farther down the street. You follow his lead, never questioning it.

Ferdinand Porsche in a 1903 Lohner-Porsche.
The Lohner-Porsche employed in-hub/wheel electric motors (yes, well over 100yrs ago) with a 'gasoline' engine acting as a generator.
Along with other versions that were purely electric, and another that could operate on either, or from what I can see, both power supplies, Porsche was a leader of electric car technology in every sense of the word.
Porsche came up with the idea almost purely on his own at the age of 18 (or probably earlier ((update: looks like it took until the age of 24 before the first ones were built, purely electric, then added 'gasoline' engines as generators/drive motors)) and was in the right place and right time to have somebody fund and be able to build it with him.
Porsche was in 1906 employed by Daimler-Benz, itself a relatively new company as Chief Designer.
Jacob Löhner said at the time, 'He is very young, but is a man with a big career before him. You will hear of him again'. And boy did we.
Just look at the history.. Even the original Ferdinand Porsche in a 1903 Lohner-Porsche.

Overwhelmed By Advertising? The Battle For Cincinnati Consumers Has Raged For More Than A Century
Depending on the source, it is estimated that each American is confronted by 6,000 to 10,000 advertising messages every single day. That immersive media onslaught swelled as we started carrying little video screens around wherever we go, but invasive and obnoxious marketing has bothered Cincinnatians for much more than a century.
For example, on 20 July 1871, a correspondent for the Cincinnati Times related an enjoyable voyage he had undertaken down the Ohio River. After praising the service of his riverboat’s staff, the remarkable scenery along the river, the picturesque little town he floated by, the writer registered one complaint, about a cliff near the town of Hanging Rock:
“High up on the face of this wall of white sandstone, hundreds of feet beyond the reach of a scaling ladder, I noticed a patent medicine advertisement. It was penciled there by a man let down with ropes from above, and the letters are large enough to be read from the deck of a steamer two miles distant. I was sorry to see this defacement. It is bad enough that all the fences throughout the land should be made to lie for patent medicines without debasing the hill-sides with such marking. I suppose that when the ‘chemical affinity necessary to be the motor of some immense flying machine’ shall be discovered, some enterprising patent medicine man will be plastering the face of the moon with some of his ‘wonderful remedies.’”
If only the poor man knew what lay ahead! Even in the 1870s, almost every vertical surface in Cincinnati was slathered with posters, placards and bills advertising shows at the local theaters, patent medicines and political candidates. Cincinnati was the center of the bill-posting world. For one thing, Cincinnati was among the top printing cities of the United States, with the mighty Strobridge Lithographing Company dominating the poster industry.
Also, Billboard magazine was headquartered here in Cincinnati. What we now think of as a music magazine, Billboard was founded in Cincinnati as a trade publication for men who posted “bills” on walls. From its first issue in 1894, Billboard covered the entertainment industry, such as circuses, fairs and burlesque shows, and also created a mail service for travelling entertainers. Initially it covered the advertising and bill-posting trade and was known as Billboard Advertising.
Tumblr media
Far from inspiring civic pride, advertising rankled Cincinnati residents as they witnessed visual pollution encrusting the region’s hillsides. Leading the opposition was the Municipal Art Society – a sort of ad-hoc predecessor to today’s Urban Design Review Board. The opening shot was fired 24 August 1896 when the Enquirer reported:
“A matter that will undoubtedly be of interest to the business men is the fact that war has been declared by the Cincinnati Municipal Art Society against advertising signs on fences along the car routes and drives of the city. The art society maintains that these signs mar the beauty of the city, especially in the case of landscape scenes on the hills and in the suburbs, and that they are offensive to the public taste.”
The Society was persistent. It took five years but the Cincinnati Post reported [24 November 1901] that the Baldwin Piano Company had demolished 200 feet of billboards erected on company property along Gilbert Avenue. The Post described this as the “first result” of the Society’s campaign.
The Municipal Art Society was soon joined by some strange bedfellows. The Cincinnati Business Men’s Club, among whose members were certainly a number of advertisers who employed billboards to disseminate their messages, created its own Municipal Art Committee to lobby for restrictions on outdoor advertising. On 1 June 1907, the committee circulated a postcard illustrated with a photo of signage clogging the view from the Grand Central Depot, with the sarcastic caption, “A Nice Welcome To Cincinnati.”
As early as 1895, the city chased the Fountain saloon’s advertising off Fountain Square, but appears not to have drafted a comprehensive law about outdoor advertising until 1909 when, as part of a broader safety ordinance, the city adopted limitations on the size of billboards, their placement near thoroughfares and the materials to be used in their construction.
While the city pondered how to encourage commerce while maintaining attractive views, the entire billboard industry was gaining momentum through a Cincinnati entrepreneur named Philip Morton. Before Morton, “bill boards” were basically fences on which bill posters slapped printed advertisements glued up with a flour-water paste. Morton took outdoor advertising to a new level, according to Jay Gilbert, who has researched his influence on marketing [Cincinnati Magazine September 2016]:
“By 1898 he’d become the Steve Jobs of roadside blight. Doing business as Ph. Morton, Phil was an early pioneer of putting ads into free-standing frames called ‘bill-boards’ and plunking them down everywhere. Eventually every railroad route and motorway in America had its view ruined by a Ph. Morton billboard.”
Even the powerhouse Morton found himself in the city’s crosshairs. Parks Superintendent John W. Rodgers, according to the Enquirer [20 September 1907], exasperated by Morton’s billboards blocking the view of Inwood Park, erupted.
“Park Superintendent Rodgers yesterday tore down over 12,000 feet of big billboards that stretched along for a distance south of Hollister street, facing Vine street, in front of Inwood Park. The billboards were 12 feet high, about 1,000 feet long and contained the advertisements of leading firms of the city, and were illuminated at night with electric lights. They had been at that place for years.”
All of those billboards were leased by Philip Morton who, as coincidence would have it, dropped off a check to pay the lease while workmen were busily engaged demolishing his thousand feet of signage. This was the Boss Cox era in Cincinnati where the right hand was very often ignorant of the left hand’s activity. And so it was, while the Park Superintendent was demolishing billboards on Vine Street, the Board of Public Service pondered a lease for billboards along Gilbert Avenue. That’s right – the same Gilbert Avenue divested of billboards just six years earlier.
Tumblr media
A common theme of cartoon artists at that time was the eventual coverage of all available exterior surfaces with advertising signs and slogans. In response, Cincinnati Post cartoonist Elmer Andrews Bushnell sketched City Hall wrapped from sidewalk to parapet in advertising while George Barnsdale Cox and his minion, August “Garry” Herrmann, happily apply more posters and Mayor Julius Fleischmann hides behind a billboard.
The battle raged for decades. Photographs from 1927 show dozens of billboards crowding the hillside over the Brighton overpass to Central Parkway and the Enquirer [24 March 1929] begged for relief because billboards and other unsightly structures had a negative effect on property values:
“What of the gaudy billboard that intrudes itself into a residential district, the sign which girds the tree or telephone pole, the roadside ‘shack’ which is made more ugly with bizarre advertisements? Do they affect values?”
A century later, we hardly notice billboards anymore. We’re too busy texting while we drive.

Warnings: explicit!smut, unprotected sex!!, praising, degradation, use of petnames [kitten], use of [master], oral sex {m receiving}, gagging, spanking, clit play,
Words: 2k
Summary: you have your 3rd anniversary and seonghwa planned something special for you but what could it be?
You stood in front of your mirror admiring the new dress you bought. It was black, embroidered with pearls and the back was free. It was your 3rd anniversary with your boyfriend Seonghwa today and he planned something special. You turned around seeing that the zipper wasn’t closed completely so you asked Seonghwa for help. „Babyyyy..can you help me?“ you shouted through the room and it didn’t take one minute as he opened the door stepping into your shared bedroom. „What do you need kitten?“ he asked looking at you with big eyes seeing you in the dress for the first time. „Can you please close the zipper? I can’t reach it.“ you said, as you took your hair to the side. Seonghwa admired your curves, eyes wandering up and down on you as he stepped closer to you. You felt his gaze boring though your body, slightly gasping at his sudden touch on your hips. His head lowered down a bit, hot breath against your neck as one of his hand reached for the zipper and pulling it upwards. Goosebumps wandering over your arms making your skin prickle. His lips near your ear, breathing against it. „Kitten you look so stunning in that dress.“ he almost whispered with a low yet raspy voice. Those words sent chills down your spin as he turned you around, his eyes on fire. „Let’s go“ he said and you nooded, taking your phone and walking outside the house to his car.
It was almost dark outside, stars on the sky and the moon shone bright. You sat into his new car with him, searching for a comfortable position to sit with that dress. He got the car from his company and he loved it. It was pretty big, a lot of space inside and the most important thing for seonghwa was that it was very fast. He loved to speed up on the highway, rushing with 200 km/h over it and listening to good music. He stated the motor and drove off but what you didn’t know was where he was going to drive. You leaned back into the seat enjoying the music and the landscape as he rushed over the highway. The next song that was playing was okay by chase atlantic. It was his favorite song. „Where are we going?“ you asked him. He placed his hand on your thigh, dangerously near your woman hood. „It’s a surprise kitten, and please call me master from now on okay? are you a good girl and behave?“ he questioned with a calm but cool voice. „Yes, master“ you replied, pressing your legs together as his thumb started rubbing over your thigh. Your cunt throbbing for him. His gaze was straight on the road. The street was almost empty, just a few cars were on it. You looked at the clock. It was 11:08 pm. Where was he going to take you this late?
After ten minutes he lowered down the speed and took the exit down from the highway, driving along a small road into a forest and parking the car on a little parking spot and locked the door. You turned to around looking at him in confusion. „How am I supposed to like this? We are in the middle of nowhere“ you got louder as you suddenly felt a sharp pain on your leg that he slapped. „Watch your mouth kitten“ he growled. His hand brushing over the red spot that built on your thigh. „I‘m sorry master“ you looked down to show him respect. His hand reached on your chin lifting it to look right into his demonic eyes. „It’s okay kitten but from know on you obey your master yeah? Or else I have to punish you and believe me no one will hear your screams in here“ he said smirking teasingly as he saw the expression on your face. „Now sit on the backseat kitten“ he commanded and you did what he said, climbing in the back of the car, sitting on the cold leather. „Good Girl“ he praised you , light pink blush forming on your face. „You know kitten, when I first saw you in that dress I just admired you but my second thought was that you would look even more beautiful when I rip the dress off of you“ he said with a low voice. Now you knew what he was about to do and those words send adrenaline through your veins.
He climbed on the backseat, now sitting in front of you. „Let me take that dress of yeah?“ Seonghwa said. You turned around for him to open the zipper from your dress and stripping it down, throwing it on your seat. Cold air hitting your pale skin as you sat there only in your red lingerie, shivering but Seonghwa didn’t care, his eyes mustered your body as his tongue licked over his bottom lip. He lowered his head, closing the space between you two, intertwining his lips with yours, immediately deepening the kiss, his tongue exploring your mouth making you moan into the kiss. Biting on your lower lip and nibbling on it he smirked. His cold hands wandered over your body to your hips, pulling you onto his lap never leaving your lips. You felt the growing bulge in his pants, slightly rubbing on your clit making you whine in despair from the lack of pleasure. You tried to grind down onto his almost hard member but his hands hold your hips tightly up. He grind, pulling away from you catching his breath. „So desperate for my cock hm kitten?“ he teasingly asked, a big smirk on his face. „But who said you deserve masters dick hm?“ His eyes were full with lust and desire just like a demon. The car was filled with his dominance as you looked at him, already a whiny mess. You didn’t say anything to him just biting your down on your lower lip. „Be a good kitten and deserve masters touches“ he smirked.
„Go on your knees“ he commanded and you obeyed him, sitting down on your knees between his legs, desperately waiting for his dick. He unbuttoned his pants, pushing them down with his boxers. His hard member sprung up, now on full display, tip painfully red and pre cum leaking out of it and balls so full. It just looked so delicious to you. You opened your mouth ready to get it stuffed and he laughed. „You are such a slut for my cock huh? Wanting me to fuck your pretty little mouth, make you drool and gag. So pathetic hm?“ he said. Those words rang in your ears making your clit pulsate. You pleaded with your eyes to finally get his cock and he nooded allowing you to begin. You started by liking the pre cum from his tip, moaning by the taste of it. He let out a deep groan, breathing deeply in and out. You liked along his shaft teasing him a bit. „Y/n stop teasing me or you won’t come tonight“ he growled slightly angry. You finally took all his length in your mouth starting to go up and down with your head, tongue swirling around his cock, feeling every vein. He threw his head back in pleasure moaning, hands gripping your hair as he starts to move his hips upwards. His tip hit the back of your throat making you gag, saliva dripping down your chin. You took his balls into your hand massaging them earning a load moan from him as he suddenly stops and pulls his dick out of your mouth as he was about to come. A string of saliva connecting your lip with the tip of his dick. You just looked so beautiful to him. „You did amazing kitten. Now you deserve masters touch“ he allows.
You stood up climbing back on the seat. „Free yourself from your lingerie“ he commands and you did what he said, taking of your bra and slipping your soaked panties down. He did so too and now the both of you were barely naked. „Now lean back and spread your legs kitten“ he said and you did so. Your dripping wet core on full display for him. His eyes wandered over your body down to your pussy. „Hmm just look at you…so wet for your master and I didn’t even touch you yet. What a slut you are hm?“ he degraded, his fingers softly brushing over the skin of your inner thigh, making you whine. His hand finally reached your clit, thumb circling slowly over it, earning some breathy moans from you. He speeds up the pace of his thumb and shoving two digits of his other hand into your tight hole, leaving you breathless for a moment. He starts to move them in and out of you making you a moaning mess for him, eyes shutting down enjoying every movement of his fingers. You were already close to your first high as he pulled out his fingers, you whining in emptiness. „I want you to come on masters dick“ he said lifting you up and placing you on his lap. His tip pushing against your clit. Your brain were already dizzy from all the pleasure. You placed your hands on his chest as he hold your ass up running his dick on your sensitive bud to tease you. Whines leaving your throat as you threw your head back. He placed his tip at your entrance, slowly sliding his cock inside, stretching your walls filling you up to the brim. Oh his dick felt like heaven, you could feel every vein on your walls pulsating. You moaned loudly as he starting to thrust his hips upwards, hitting every sweet spot inside your pussy. „Fuck kitten you feel so good“ he curses. You start to bounce on him, trying to find a rhythm with his hips. He grabbed your ass, slapping it, pain turning into pleasure. You felt all his desire. He was like a hungry demon who wanted to devour his prey. With every thrust he brushed over your sweet spot bringing you closer and closer to your release. You already felt the knot in your tummy becoming stronger and stronger. Seonghwa’s thrusts got sloppier and you knew he was about to come too. „M-mastert..ahh- c..cuming“ you stuttered. „Yes kitten, cum for your master. Be a good girl and let’s cum together“ he said and with that he gave you one last and deep thrust and sent you over the edge. You clenched around his cock, crying out his name, filling the car with your moans and his curses. You feel his dick twitching, filling you with his seeds, covering your walls white. You loved the feeling to be filled with this warm milk. You both came down from your highs, collapsing on each other trying to catch your breath. Your legs were wobbly and shaking from the orgasm. Seonghwa lifted you up and laying you on the seat, watching how his white cum leaks out of your pretty pussy. He slid his finger over it catching a big drop. „Open your mouth kitten, we don’t want to waste it, do we?“ he asked and you opened your mouth sucking the cum from his fingers, moaning by the taste. Seonghwa laid himself down pulling you into his arms, brushing over your hair. „I love you my little kitten“ he confessed. „I love you too master“ you replied, burying your face into his naked chest, falling asleep in it within a few minutes.

To the friend who has everything
Book: Open Heart (post series)
Characters: Ethan Ramsey, Tobias Carrick
Warnings: none
Rating: General audiences
Category: fluff
Word count: 512
Summary: a look at some of the experiences that Ethan and Tobias gift each other over the years
Disclaimer: characters belong to Pixelberry
Authors note: this comes from a Totally Tobias week about Tobias and cars and in my answer I stated that Tobias and Ethan gifted each other experiences of driving cars they would not normally drive. So this is the fic, I was going to do edits and a fic but I am not in the mood to argue technology so a fic it is.
🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
It was a few months out from Ethan’s wedding. Casey had got him to agree to a combined bucks/hens weekend but what do to for the male activity. Tobias had been to a few strip clubs in his younger years, more out of curiosity than anything but now as he was getting older it was not exactly his scene. Sure the women were beautiful and there was rules in place to ensure they were respected but it did not sit right with him.
Then Tobias vaguely remembered a chat that he and Ethan had many moons ago in their Hopkins days, pre Estelle where they discussed which cars they wish they could drive. The usuals were there, Aston Martin’s, Ferrari’s but they also discussed race cars also. Tobias did a search and found a track in Vegas that allowed not only a ride along but also for them to drive. Tobias booked it in for the Saturday.
Ethan was curious to find out what Tobias had planned for the day. He would have been more than happy to stay in bed with Casey but he went so when they boys pulled up at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
“We have a ride and if we wish, we get to drive a NASCAR car.” Said Tobias “Happy Bachelor weekend.”
The boys had a great time. All but Elijah drove as well. Over a late lunch Ethan asked Tobias, why driving. Tobias stated he remembered a snippet of conversation back in their Hopkins days when he was trying to decide on the activity for today. Tobias also stated he is glad he did as it was much more fun than he thought it would be. Ethan agreed. As they headed back to the hotel Ethan thought of other driving experiences he could do.
In the September of that year, after the excitement of the wedding and and honeymoon and the shock of Casey’s missed miscarriage had died down, Ethan wanted to show his appreciation for the support Tobias showed him and Casey.
He remembered how much he enjoyed the NASCAR experience in Vegas. He thought maybe a more classic car this time around. He did a search and found a company just out of Boston that allowed people to drive classic cars. You could book your car at the time of booking and Ethan was excited that there were two Aston Martin DB5’s available.
The day came and all Tobias knew is that there was driving involved. Needless to say when Tobias was handed the keys to a DB5 after the orientation he was surprised. Both men enjoyed the drive. It was everything they ever hoped it would be.
They had lunch after. Tobias did not think that experience would not be topped and to be honest, neither did Ethan. Both men deciding that every so often, not necessarily a birthday they would tick cars off their car bucket list. Both men were excited by this and knew that they would have many happy memories of their renewed friendship to look back on.
——
Authors note: very short and very sweet but who does not love Ethan and Tobias being besties content?
So I made a change, initially it was going to be milestone birthdays but then realized that when they were 40 (in 2022) they were friends again but had too much Leland fallout still happening. So I changed it. Their last Car experience is Tobias 60th. They run out of cars a bit but also they are starting to worry about not enjoying the experience of the driving as much. I know these men at 60 will be pretty damn healthy but they feel ending it there is great.
Thanks elsa for the Totally Tobias Tuesday that inspired this fic- sorry it took me awhile to get to it.

The Most Popular Industries in Texas Right Now For Metal Barn Building
Texas is widely famous for its business-friendly environment and has been named one of the most favorable states to start a business. And why not? After all, it has friendly weather throughout the year with a diverse and skilled workforce. Not to mention, it has various tax benefits, such as no personal or corporate income tax or property tax.
With all these facilities, it becomes evident why businesses will favor Texas than any other state. If you are a business owner considering exploring or expanding your company in Texas, you will be amazed to know how much metal buildings will be helpful. Some typical examples of popular industries are as follows:
Oil & Gas
Texas is one of the top producers of oil and gas in America. It produces almost half of the country's crude oil and a quarter of natural gas. Being a mine of the oil industry, it is obvious why petroleum companies would like to make Texas their home.
Tumblr media
Agriculture
The Lone Star State is a home of cowboys herding cattle along a vast farmland. When it comes to agribusiness, Texas has a lot to contribute to the American economy. From being a large producer of cotton and wheat to having massive livestock farming and dairy products, Texas is renowned for its agribusiness.
Aerospace
Texas has plenty of aerospace industries, from commercial to defense, and their R&D. Aviation industries have many historical events, such as training the first batch of astronauts to land on the moon, low-cost airline carriers, and military fight testing.
Biomedical Research
Texas is a leader in this industry, with more than 6,000 companies related to biotechnology-related research and manufacturing. It has a well-made research infrastructure and educated workers with a large amount of funding from government and private firms.
Retails
Texas has over 100,000 retail businesses in sectors like clothing stores, antique stores, and shopping malls.
Manufacturing
There are various auto industry sectors in Texas, including car dealerships, auto repair shops, spare parts suppliers, and shipping companies. Hence, the auto industry is another booming business here.
Auto Dealers
Many auto dealers' favorite states in Texas, such as General Motors (GM), Toyota, and Tesla, are few to be named.
All these industries need a place to work, manufacture, and store space for their goods and services. And what better building can be if not an industrial steel structure? Now you may wonder, 'why steel?'. Here are solid reasons to consider steel buildings for your business in Texas.
Clear Span
Perhaps a certified steel structure is the only option for a column-free interior with a maximum use of sq. ft. for up to 300 ft. of width. All other materials require structural support. With no internal column, you get the complete freedom to design your floor plan.
This is especially beneficial for automobiles, space centers, and the aviation industry as they need a large, uninterrupted working place.
Low Maintenance
Properly insulated and ventilated steel structures are immune to pests, termites, mold, and mildew. Further, no rotting, bending, twisting, or decaying frames and panel exists. This reduces your monthly recurring operational cost.
A steel structure would need to be repainted in 5 or 10 years. They are excellent options for commercial warehouses, cold storage, and biomedical research facilities.
Customization
Understandably, all companies want to have their signature logo, unique name, and brand image. A metal building can be fully customized from scratch with external façade options such as brick veneer, faux stone, or wood. Businesses can opt for a perforated metal panel façade with their brand name and logo design.
Not to mention, every industry is trying hard to go carbon neutral these days. Steel is inorganic and almost 100% recyclable. They make great sustainable and eco-friendly structures. You can design certified steel buildings to be energy-efficient and get tax credits from the government.
Have A Look At Some Best Industrial Metal Buildings
Tumblr media
Other Places Where You Can Find Applications of Metal Buildings
Although these are popular places where industrial steel structure is commonly used, there are more places where they can have applications. Some of them are:
Self-storage facilities
Indoor sports facilities
Paint shops
Commercial garages
Churches
Recreational & entertainment centers
Event venues
And much more! The reason is simple. Metal structures are versatile buildings. They can be used for one purpose and then repurposed for another use. So, if you use your metal structure as an office space, you can modify it into a storage space anytime.
Uses Of Steel Buildings In Various Sectors
Agricultural
If you are a farmer or rancher, it is crucial to note that metal structure has many applications in the farming industry. For instance, they can be used as a livestock shelter, crop storage unit, feed and hay storage, farm machine parking area, and lastly, as a farmhouse. Being energy-saving and sturdy structures, they are great for a fast-paced farm life.
Residential
From being your primary home to a guest house, garage, carport, or simply a resting area outside your main house where you can pursue your hobbies, a metal barn serves as a multi-functional unit.
Industrial
Businesses can use steel buildings as their office, storage units, warehouses, cold storage, or simply as a carport with a solar roof for their employees. Being fire and pest-resistant, they will be suitable for any storage, whether logistics, goods, or perishable items.
To Bring Things To A Close
If you want to buy a new industrial steel structure to grow your company, here are some general guidelines to land the best deals.
The first thing to note is the steel manufacturer's certification and industry experience.
The second is to check for reviews, feedback & their customers' service.
Next comes the quality of raw materials.
After that, you need to know if delivery & installation are included in the package.
If yes, are there any warranties on the workmanship, panels, or rust-through warranty?
Do you have the option to customize your metal buildings, and does the dealer offer a wide range of colors?
Once satisfied with all the inquiries, you can ask for a quote and buy the steel building of your choice.

Tesla Delivers About a Dozen Stainless Steel Cybertruck Pickups as It Tries to Fix Production Woes
I'm really excited. Tesla, the famous electric truck company, just started giving people their cool, new Cybertruck pickups. They handed out about twelve of them.
This is a big deal for Tesla. They've been working hard to fix problems with making trucks and start selling this super new electric one. Everyone has been super excited about the Cybertruck since they first showed it because it looks like it comes from the future and is supposed to do really well on the road.
The Cybertruck's Bold Promise
I first saw the weird Tesla Cybertruck in November 2019. Elon Musk, the big boss of Tesla, showed it off. It's made of steel that doesn't bend and is all pointy, and this grabbed people really hard; loads and loads wanted to buy one, therefore they signed up before it even started being made.
Key features of the Tesla Cybertruck include:
Stainless Steel Body:
Tesla says their Cybertruck's outer shell can really take a hit and not scratch or dent. Now, funny enough, it's made from this super-tough 30X steel kind that I've never talked about before – you know, heretofore. It's pretty wild.
Outstanding Performance:
Depending on the variant, the Cybertruck offers impressive acceleration, with 0-60 mph times ranging from under 6 seconds to just over 2.9 seconds for the high-end tri-motor version.
Electric Range:
You already know Tesla's electric trucks go far. The Cybertruck is just as good. Even though the moon looks closer at night, the best Cybertruck zooms past 500 miles without needing a new charge.
Towing Capacity:
I'm amazed, no joke, by this super cool truck's muscle. It can pull unbelievably heavy things, like over 14,000 pounds! It's made to be handy, not just for families but for work stuff too.
Production Challenges
I couldn't wait to see Tesla's new Cybertruck hit the streets, but making something so huge out of stainless steel turned out to be way harder than they thought. And trying to fit its wacky look into how they usually build cars caused more headaches. Now its arrival is going to be way later than anyone guessed.
I heard that Tesla is starting to send out a few Cybertrucks. They're doing this to learn from the first ones they make. By only sending out a little at first, they can make tiny tweaks along the way, check that the trucks are really good, and hear what the first drivers say about them, thereby making their future trucks even better.
The Significance of the Delivery
You're getting those first Cybertrucks from Tesla and, believe it or not, it shows that they won’t let tough problems stop them from making new things that no other car company made before. It’s a big deal because it makes people think hard about how electric trucks and cars can change the whole car making game. And while the big car makers are starting to make more electric cars and trucks, Tesla is way ahead, always doing wild new stuff and coming up with smart ideas. This is a pretty big moment.
Looking Ahead
I just got a really cool surprise. Tesla is making electric trucks, and they sent out the first twelve Cybertrucks. This is like a peek at what's coming next for their big truck thing. People really want smart trucks that don't need gas, and sending these trucks out shows Tesla can make what folks are after.
We're not quite at the whole making-tons-of-Trucks stage yet, but it’s starting. No doubt getting these first few trucks out is huge, and for me, unpacking all this is still unbelieveably awesome. More than just trucks, you know, it’s a big step toward the future of how we might all drive around.
You get this? The electric truck called Cybertruck, by that car shop Tesla, just gave out almost 12 trucks; it shows they're moving forward after some tough snag with making a lot of them and it stresses how the shop really sticks to launching new ways for cars to move without gas. A ton of cars pulling away from oil and turning electric is the new way, and that fancy and different truck Tesla made; might just shake up how we all get around big time, huh?

Reverend Moon Rises Above Ailing Businesses (1999)
By Don Kirk, International Herald Tribune Feb. 5, 1999
Tumblr media
▲ Pictured: Reverend Sun Myung Moon addresses the Third International Ocean Challenge in Kodiak Alaska, September 9 through October 18, 1998. Peter Kim translates. (source: tparents.org)
The Reverend Sun Myung Moon, leader of the Unification Church, opened a "world culture and sports festival" Thursday night asking participants: "What happens to us when we die?" His temporal business empire in South Korea, meanwhile, was asking: How do we repay debts approaching $2 billion
Weakness emerged within the Tong Il group, a conglomerate whose name means "unification," as Mr. Moon toured South Korea over the past week drumming up support for his church and his companies.
"The Tong Il companies suffer from bad management," said Huh Man Jo, who is monitoring the restructuring efforts of Korea's chaebol, or conglomerates, for the government's newly formed financial supervisory service. "They relied too much on church donations. It was a kind of moral hazard."
Mr. Huh said the debts of the group's 16 companies exceed 2 trillion won ($1.7 billion).
Its four leading companies, which manufacture products ranging from ginseng tea to tank guns, were all bankrupt awaiting reorganization under court supervision, he said.
Mr. Moon appeared oblivious to his earthly problems Thursday night. Alexander Haig, a former secretary of state and White House chief of staff during Richard Nixon's presidency, introduced him as "a leading force for inter-religious dialogue and understanding between peoples of all backgrounds."
The closest Mr. Moon came to mentioning the companies that he founded in the 1960s as the basis for his worldwide ministry was when he told a rapt audience that "Earth is but a speck of dust."
The spirit world that people enter after death transcends time and space, Mr. Moon said, speaking in Korean after a six-course banquet. Interpreters translated into seven languages for an audience that included former Third World heads of state and ambassadors. "There are no factories there to produce food," Mr. Moon said. "There are no automobile factories. There is nothing like that."
In the real world, the Tong Il group's flagship Tong Il Heavy Industries Co., founded in 1962, has suffered the most of any of the companies in the group.
The factory, which produces motor vehicle transmissions, has had to lay off 40 percent of its or conglomerates, for the government.
2,000 workers as a result of sagging car sales in South Korea, said Seo Pyong Kyu, a manager in the group's financial planning department.
"There is a cash flow deficit," Mr. Seo said. "Production is very low."
Church donations, a traditional source of funding in hard times, "have helped but are very much limited," said Mr. Seo. "Maybe we can expect the Reverend Moon to help, but it is not certain."
Mr. Moon, who maintains a headquarters in New York but has been spending much of his time on a vast farm project in Brazil, focused throughout his speaking tour of South Korea on the theme of "family ethics and world peace," the topic of a three-day series of seminars sponsored by the church. The festival is scheduled to wind up Sunday with a mass wedding in which 40,000 couples will exchange vows in Seoul's Olympic Stadium in a ceremony broadcast worldwide by cable. As in previous mass weddings, Mr. Moon himself has personally selected many of the marriage partners flying in from throughout the world, from submitted photographs and brief biographies.
Periodically, however, the realities of South Korea's economic crisis intruded upon his national tour.
At stops on the way, workers who had lost their jobs staged demonstrations accusing Mr. Moon's lieutenants of illegally dismissing them without pay. During an appearance in Pusan, South Korea's largest port city, workers from Tong Il Oil Heavy Industries briefly threatened violence.
Mr. Moon did not talk directly to the workers, leaving negotiations to his lieutenants. The response from management was not sympathetic.
"They want to get money from the company," said Ahn Ho Yeol, vice president in charge of the Korean branch of its Youth Federation for World Peace. "We cannot make money. They did not work. We did not offer them money."
Mr. Moon opened his remarks Thursday night by calling for "the realization of a culture of love, a global culture of heart."
Pak Bo Hee, who co-founded The Washington Times with Mr. Moon, goes to North Korea on Monday to negotiate the rights to open a tourist service to the North and to join the celebration of the 57th birthday of the North Korean leader Kim Jong Il on Feb. 16.
Tong Il Heavy Industries, meanwhile, survives on military contracts that it first obtained during the rule of Park Chung Hee, a former general who ruled South Korea for 18 years until his assassination in 1979. "We make rifles and cannon for tanks," said a company official. "The contract is going on."

Two articles below shed light on the relationship between Moon and Alexander Haig, who in the article above called Moon “ a leading force for inter-religious dialogue and understanding between peoples of all backgrounds."
Excerpted from article: taken from a Facts and Details article n Sun Myung Moon
“After Moon’s release from a US prison after serving 13 months he was still welcomed by the great and good. At various times he met or received support from the British prime ministers Margaret Thatcher and Edward Heath, ex-presidents Gerald Ford and George Bush Sr, Canadian ex-premier Brian Mulroney, US senators Strom Thurmond, Jesse Helms, William Fulbright and Orrin Hatch, Reagan’s defence secretary Caspar Weinberger, the former Nato chief general Alexander Haig, former US education secretary William Bennett, Boston University president John Silber, Christian Coalition ex-chief Ralph Reed, and the rightwing Christian leader the Rev Jerry Falwell.
Excerpted from a paper: The Unificationist Funerary Tradition by Lukas Pokorny describes the seunghwa’s role and evolution in UC/FFWPU history
“[“Honoring a Legacy of Peace”] was held on 18 March 2010 in the New York UN headquarters, 37 “involving” the spirits of Alexander Haig (1924–2010), a general and Secretary of State under Ronald Reagan (1911–2004; p. 1981–1989); 38 former South Korean president and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Kim Tae-jung 김대중/金大中 (1924–2009; p. 1998–2003); Hédi Annabi (1943–2010), the head of the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti, and some one-hundred of his staff, who died when the Port-au-Prince UN Headquarters collapsed during the Haiti Earthquake; former Costa Rican president Rodrigo Carazo Odio (1926–2009; p. 1978–82) called by Mun a Peace President (p’yŏnghwa’ŭi taet’ongnyŏng 평화의 대통령) for his role in the establishment of the University for Peace; former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid (1940–2009; p. 1999–2001); former Icelandic prime minister Steingrímur Hermannsson (1928–2010), who hosted the 1986 Reykjavík Summit between Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev (b. 1931); the Senegalese head of the Tijaniyyah Sufi order Hassan Cissé 1945–2008); and the Indian politician and diplomat Laxmi Mall Singhvi (1931–2007), whom Mun called an Ambassador of Reconciliation and Peace (hwahae’wa p’yŏnghwa’ŭi taesa 화해와 평화의 대사). On 13 April 2010, the first of a corresponding series of events held in South Korea—the World Peace Leaders Memorial Unification Seunghwa Festival Commemoration Meeting (segye p’yŏnghwa chidoja ch’umo t’ongil sŭnghwa ch’ukche kinyŏm taehoe 세계평화지도자추모통일승화축제기념대회/世界平和指導者追慕統一昇華祝祭紀念大會)—was staged in Seoul. 39 There the Seunghwa Blessing was once again given to Haig, Kim, Annabi, Carazo Odio, and Wahid. Additional receivers were Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964); the former South Korean minister of labour Cho Ch’ŏl-gwŏn 조철권/趙澈權 (1929–2007); the former Nepalese prime minister Girija Prasad Koirala (1924–2010); the naval diver Han Chu-ho 한주호/韓主浩 (1958–2010), who died on a rescue mission for the Ch’ŏnan corvette which was scuppered by a North Korean torpedo in March 2010; 40 and, surprisingly, also the Unificationist elder Kim Wŏn-p’il 김원필/金元弼 (1928–2010), who had already obtained a World Seunghwa Ceremony a few days prior.
Excerpted from article: The below excerpt is from a Forbes article ‘Reaching for the Stars’ by Toni Fitzgerald that reveals that Paul Rogers, a professional Moonie, was able to make profit with Moon-associated businesses during the South Korean financial crisis. Rogers is known to have had strong business relationships with notable UC leaders, such as both Kwak and Pak. 
In the late 1990s, the darkest days of South Korea’s financial crisis, operators such as Paul Rogers of Lehman Brothers were parachuting in to pick through the bargains. But amid all the moneylosing units being shed by the country’s conglomerates, what caught his eye was something that wasn’t for sale: a vacant 12-acre lot. It was in the heart of Yeouido, the island in the Han River that serves as Seoul’s financial and broadcasting district.
Owned by Reverend Moon Song-myung’s Unification Church Foundation, the giant lot had sat empty for three decades. Best known internationally for its cultish practices and its members, called Moonies, the church is also a business empire with interests ranging from media properties to North Korean industrial ventures. And like other Korean conglomerates, it needed money. “Investment banks were making a quick buck from acquiring and flipping distressed assets,” says Rogers, then Lehman’s head of structured finance for Asia. “I saw a much bigger opportunity: developing whole city blocks and making an impact on Asian cities which are sorely in need of iconic but commercially successful projects.”
Excerpt from article: Excerpted from Joongang Daily's 2010 article on Kook Jin Moon, 'Business Engine Of A Global Faith' by Kim Hyung-eun
Chairman [Kook Jin Moon] Moon, in a recent interview with Forbes, said he has high hopes for TIC, and that he is proud the company produces axles for armored vehicles. TIC was established by merging several subsidiaries of Tongil Heavy Industries, which previously supplied hardware for the Korean armed forces.
Other units include building management company Seilo, helicopter operator Tongil Air Systems and agricultural company Pyeongnong.
Through these entities, Tongil Group finances about 20 religious and educational institutions, including the Sun Moon University, Sunhwa Arts High School, music group the Little Angels and others.
But Tongil Group is not the only fiefdom in the Unification Church's business empire. It's not to be confused with Unification Church International, which is run by Kook-jin's older brother Hyun-jin and whose major businesses include the The Washington Times and True World Foods in the U.S. as well as Marriott hotels and the Central City complex in Korea.
Video: A 1 minute clip from the Japanese news of a Japanese UC service in 1998 where a church leader begged and guilted members to make a donation. This was a year after the South Korean financial crash and UC families in Japan were forced to make a $16,000 donation. This was during Japan’s decade(s) of economic stagnation.

“I operate on the physics approach to analysis. You boil things down to the first principles or fundamental truths in a particular area and then you reason up from there.” Elon Musk
https://www.tesla.com/en_gb/elon-musk
Elon Musk co-founded and leads Tesla, SpaceX, Neuralink and The Boring Company.
As the co-founder and CEO of Tesla, Elon leads all product design, engineering and global manufacturing of the company's electric vehicles, battery products and solar energy products.
Since the company’s inception in 2003, Tesla’s mission has been to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy. The first Tesla product, the Roadster sports car, debuted in 2008, followed by the Model S sedan, which was introduced in 2012, and the Model X SUV, which launched in 2015. Model S received Consumer Reports’ Best Overall Car and has been named the Ultimate Car of the Year by Motor Trend, while Model X was the first SUV ever to earn 5-star safety ratings in every category and sub-category in the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s tests. In 2017, Tesla began deliveries of Model 3, a mass-market electric vehicle with more than 320 miles of range, and unveiled Tesla Semi, which is designed to save owners at least $200,000 over a million miles based on fuel costs alone. In 2019, Tesla unveiled Cybertruck, which will have better utility than a traditional truck and more performance than a sports car, as well as the Model Y compact SUV, which began customer deliveries in early 2020.
Tesla also produces three energy storage products, the Powerwall home battery, the Powerpack commercial-scale battery, and Megapack, which is designed for utility-scale installations. In 2016, Tesla became the world’s first vertically-integrated sustainable energy company with the acquisition of SolarCity, the leading provider of solar power systems in the United States, and in 2017 released Solar Roof – a beautiful and affordable energy generation product.
As lead designer at SpaceX, Elon oversees the development of rockets and spacecraft for missions to Earth orbit and ultimately to other planets. In 2008, the SpaceX Falcon 1 was the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to reach orbit, and SpaceX made further history in 2017 by re-flying both a Falcon 9 rocket and Dragon spacecraft for the first time. Soon after, Falcon Heavy, the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two, completed its first flight in 2018. In 2019, SpaceX’s crew-capable version of the Dragon spacecraft completed its first demonstration mission, and the company will fly NASA astronauts to the International Space Station for the first time in 2020. Building on these achievements, SpaceX is developing Starship – a fully reusable transportation system that will carry crew and cargo to the Moon, Mars and beyond ­– and Starlink, which will deliver high speed broadband internet to locations where access has been unreliable, expensive, or completely unavailable. By pioneering reusable rockets, SpaceX is pursuing the long-term goal of making humans a multi-planet species by creating a self-sustaining city on Mars.
Elon is also CEO of Neuralink, which is developing ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect the human brain to computers.
He also launched The Boring Company, which combines fast, affordable tunneling technology with an all-electric public transportation system in order to alleviate soul-crushing urban congestion and enable high-speed, long-distance travel. The Boring Company built a 1.15 mile R&D tunnel in Hawthorne, and is currently constructing Vegas Loop, a public transportation system at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Previously, Elon co-founded and sold PayPal, the world's leading Internet payment system, and Zip2, one of the first internet maps and directions services.

And there's a lot of jokes going on but not about this they noticed it's a real pain in the ass and Trump is out there is going back out shortly and then he's going to California and it's going to try and just try his move and stand and Sherry are out there already and I guess they're messing with stuff up and I guess Trump thought that we were owning the silicon valley area no but we own the company we haven't taken that over yet but he's going after him for a different reason he wants to monopolize chip production and be the only manufacturer and take over stuff using robotics trying and others are trying to and it's gross these people got gross it's very much needed and they're trying to use it if they find our people it's very dangerous and it's a real warning going out now. And different channel of course. And this is a huge huge race this drag race because our car is well and his motor isn't it's our motors you know it's in some of one of these cars that they're going to pull up he knows which one no I don't know which one either so two of them whichever one Mac and Tommy ever in. And it's probably this race is highly likely it could be it it's the same body but it's a different frame it looks they all look the same but they're slightly different and they have the swapped out motor and different manufacturers and it's really complicated now but this could be it.
And today and tonight is due to a kill and yes he goes to jail for killing the people and he breaks out and kills a lot of people and venom starts and Moonraker starts but that's tomorrow night and moon record starts tomorrow all the movies scenes are tomorrow all over the world yes I final scenes. And it warm-ups and all 50 of these space stations you come in broiled otherwise they wouldn't go up there

The Fake Heroism of Space Billionaires
Within hours, Jeff Bezos will blast off into space, a week after Richard Branson went up. Another small step for billionaires.
Once upon a time, long long ago, people with names like John Glenn, Alan Shepard, Buzz Aldrin, and Sally Ride blasted into space. None was selected on the basis of income or wealth, but on skill and rigorous training. Their heroism – and we regarded them as national heroes -- symbolized America’s technological prowess and egalitarianism.
I remember as a kid talking with other kids my age about becoming an astronaut. It was something any of us could aspire to if we had enough guts and gumption. The astronauts of that time came from middle-class and blue-collar families. They’d gone to public schools. They were like the rest of us, but their bravery and skill justified their status as national heroes.
The space program itself was quintessential American. In a way, it seemed as if all of us were going into space, risking our lives for the nation, and becoming the first to land on the moon. Yet our pride was not of the nativist variety. We won the space race because we had worked harder, longer, better. Our astronauts were backed by teams of scientists, aeronautical engineers, and aerospace workers who took great pride in their work, and we took pride in all of them. Again and again, we used the term “we” to describe the achievement, a common good.
Today’s space race could not be more different. Bezos, Branson, and Elon Musk, the third billionaire racing into space, aren’t “we.” There's no common good in their achievement. They symbolize the extreme apex of wealth today, some of it gained by paying their workers rock-bottom wages and shutting out competitors. They’re closer to the robber barons of the first Gilded Age – Andrew Carnegie, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and John D. Rockefeller – whose conspicuous fortunes were founded on wage suppression, union-busting, and monopolization, and whose toys were the first motor cars and airplanes. The new space venturers are not backed by widely-celebrated teams of scientists, engineers, and workers. There is no collective pride in their achievement.
When Branson came down to earth last week, the New York Times wrote admiringly that “billionaire entrepreneurs are risking injury or death to fulfill their childhood aspirations — and advance the goal of making human spaceflight unexceptional.” And it quoted Eric Anderson, chairman of Space Adventures Limited, a company that charters launches to orbit, saying “They’re putting their money where their mouth is, and they’re putting their body where their money is. That’s impressive, frankly.”
Rubbish. If Branson, Bezos, and Musk – or Eric Anderson, for that matter -- are advancing anything or anyone, it’s the prospect of making boatloads of money by selling future seats to other people able and willing to pay huge sums for the thrill. At a time when America and the world face existential crises ranging from climate change to raging inequality to deathly pandemics, these ventures into space aren't impressive, frankly.
If some kids today are inspired by Branson, Bezos, and Musk, the inspiration is more about accumulating money and power than making the nation proud, more about propelling themselves forward than propelling America or the world forward. Sure, it takes some bravery to belt yourself into a rocket next to a few other billionaires who have paid tens of millions for the privilege, but that doesn’t come close to heroism.
We’ve privatized almost everything else, but no one can privatize heroism.
