In Germany building constructors, who want to get public contracts have to depose 30% of the order volume as a warranty beforehand, in case the work will not be finished in time, not finished as ordered, or the constructor goes bust.Money many building constructors either don't have or don't want to be firmly invested. The company I work with lends those enterprises said money for a fee. In Germany these kind of business is called Avalkredit, google translated it to guarantee facility.

Sales clerk for a company that provides guarantee facilities for building constractors.

Sounds fun... I'm currently working with data; mostly research/mining/cleansing & database upkeep for a data brokering company.

Interesting topic to bring up then, what do you all do for work? I guess I can start. Im a heavy duty partsman; I work in a truck shop supplying parts for the jobs, sourcing/looking up and billing for customers. Anything basically 5ton + we work on but only drivetrain, so drivelines, transmissions, diffs, clutches and surrounding areas basically.

Yes, it's a 100% remote job. I am just given deadlines for the completion of specific projects but the rest of the time managing is entirely up to me... Love the freedom of that and hope I'll never have to set foot into an office ever again haha. But in general I dislike desk jobs.

No wonder I was fucked up as cooter brown last night.. 8 tall boys and 3 mixed cups of that purple

Totally agree with you bro.

16 is a baby. I don't know anyone that didn't say some offensive shit at that age. You're still learning you're place in the world.

I just started Cobra Kai. Cheesy? Yes. Nostalgic? Absolutely.

Henderson's job isn't to be a creator though? His job is to do the legwork for our creators. They're different styles of midfielders - Henderson's been used for us most recently as a box to box midfielder, and before that a holding midfielder. The way our side's set up, Henderson's got a vital role for us - we're not asking for him to be a playmaker. We're asking for him to work hard for 90 minutes in the engine-room of our side. It's not really an apt comparison. But if you wanted to compare our midfields, you could ask why one side's got a system with some pretty clear cut and defined roles for all central midfielders we have out on the pitch - and why that group of hardworking and well drilled players is so effective... and then you could ask why one side doesn't really appear to have a plan for it's midfield and keeps hoping it's most creative midfielder will just be able to bail them out on individual talent? I've said it pretty consistently since he's joined Man Utd, I don't think Pogba's a bad player - I think he's just in a situation where he's not in a midfield that's built for his skillset. And tbh there are times where he looks frustrated as fuck that he's the only one creating chances and the movement in front of him is just too poor for him to create anything really meaningful to break a deadlock. For United to get the most out of Pogba, they've got to actually build a midfield that makes use of what Pogba's good at. That's what we've done at Liverpool, we've got a creative front 3, we've got some very creative fullbacks, so our midfield really just acts as the engine room to allow our creators to... create. United have a very good midfielder in Pogba, but there's no cohesive system in the midfield that's set up to get the most out of him. It's really something that's plagued United since Ferguson left - throughout the side there's just a lack of cohesion and identity on the pitch. And ultimately, that's the first thing that needs to be addressed for United to make meaningful progress towards their goals. Cos at the end of the day, football's a team sport. Every once in a while you'll get a generational talent that'll be a part of your side that can carry even a very shit side to push well above it's weight - and while I think Pogba's very good, his time with United - where he doesn't have the wealth of talent working with him like he does with France and like he did with Juve - underscore that Pogba's not the type of midfielder that'll grab a match by the scruff of it's neck and get United the 3 points. If he were... well United would've had a different season last season and they'd not be in the bottom half right now. So the issue at Manchester United shouldn't be signing big name players to get the most out of Pogba - it should be signing the right players that fit the long term vision of the team, that'll also add into getting the most out of Pogba. But with Ed Woodward making decisions... I'm not sure how much cohesion and identity you'll have. That man is probably most responsible for the erosion of the cohesion and identity that Ferguson left you lot.

Please tell me this means you'll have Fred starting against us. Fred may genuinely be one of the worst football players I've ever seen. And I've seen Salif Diao play.

Who’s @watchmychops? I’ve just had a PM from them telling me not to be a dick

The Iowa hawkeyes built that hospital for sick children only... during the end of every 1st quarter, the fans turn around and wave at the kids and family and as a neutral it brings joy to see those innocent kids waving back and having a smile, like they haven't in a while and to some it may be the last big cheese smile they have a chance to enjoy, that is worth the ticket price itself . Not being a pro sports enables college sports to have a deeper connection with fans than just with their money. The opposing team putting the score to the side and allowing a blind player to hold the ball for a kicker or allowing a five time cancer survivor be the designated holder for the place kicker makes all fans of the sport love it even more. The atmosphere while playing metallica's enter sandman as the whole stadium is being shaken by all the home fans as virginia tech enters the field and the navy versus army game are part of my bucket list. I enjoyed the MLS game i attended and although it was packed with many loyal fans... a good portion is there for the city of Atlanta and not necessarily the team and most big cities have fans like that. Maybe one or two generations of passionate MLS fans will start creating a connection that will pave the way but college football is the closest thing to what football means to the rest of the world..

Didn't really know where to stick this so put it here... Pretty much agree with most of it The list of footballers who share their lives through social media is long - but it's fair to say Sandro Wagner doesn't feature on it. In an interview with t-online.de, the 31-year-old former Germany international made it pretty clear he's not a fan. "I'm always presented like a Stone Age man, just because I don't actively use this nonsense," he said. "Social media is a big evil for me. "People there make a living from sharing their lives with others. They can do nothing and get money for it if I watch them having breakfast." Wagner, who left German champions Bayern Munich for Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda in January, is worried social media can give children "a false picture of life". "I see the danger that our children will become more and more stupid and ultimately more unhappy because they are following the wrong role models, pretending to live in a glamorous world," he said. "If it's all just about asking the internet community and the pseudo-stars there how I should have my hair cut or how I should paint my face in three minutes, then something is heading in the wrong direction." Wagner, who has also played for Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen, Hertha Berlin and Hoffenheim, scored five goals in eight appearances for Germany. He retired from international duty when he was let out of the 2018 World Cup squad. "Making your own experiences, developing through real contact with other people, feeling how things actually go down with others when you say them... there's less and less of that," said Wagner. "But maybe it's all just normal these days. And I'm not normal, that might as well be."

R.I.P. Alexei Leonov, you will now enter the final frontier and may your spirit live on. Alexei Leonov: First person to walk in space dies aged 85 Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, who became the first person in history to spacewalk in 1965, has died aged 85. Tethered to a spaceship by a 4.8m (16ft) cable, the Russian floated above Earth for 12 minutes. "You just can't comprehend it. Only out there can you feel the greatness - the huge size of all that surrounds us," Leonov told the BBC in 2014. But the outing nearly ended in disaster as his spacesuit inflated and he struggled to get back in the spaceship. At a time when the US and the USSR were jostling for space supremacy, Leonov's mission was lauded as a triumph at home. But Leonov's ambitions did not stop at his spacewalk. He went on to become the commander of Soyuz-Apollo, the first-ever joint US-Soviet mission in 1975. Alexei Leonov describes his first spacewalk How Russia won the space race Leonov described his sortie into outer space in numerous media interviews. "It was so quiet I could even hear my heartbeat," he told the Observer. "I was surrounded by stars and was floating without much control. I will never forget the moment. I also felt an incredible sense of responsibility. Of course, I did not know that I was about to experience the most difficult moments of my life - getting back into the capsule." In the vacuum of outer space, his spacesuit began to balloon out of shape and its fabric began to stiffen dangerously. His hands slipped out of his gloves, his feet came out of his boots, and Leonov could no longer get through his spaceship's airlock. Even worse, the craft was hurtling towards Earth's shadow. In five minutes, the cosmonaut realised he would be plunged into total darkness. He managed to release some of the oxygen from his spacesuit and was barely able to squeeze himself back into the capsule headfirst. He lost 6kg (13 pounds) in the process. He and his pilot Pavel Belyayev were hailed as heroes on their return, but only after crash-landing in a forest in the Ural mountains and waiting three days to be rescued. A decade later, Leonov was one of two Soviet cosmonauts involved in the first docking of US and Soviet spaceships - the Apollo 18 and Soyuz 19 - during a period of detente between the two countries. He was twice awarded the country's top medal, Hero of the Soviet Union. Art in zero gravity Although Leonov was best-known for his exploits as an astronaut, his artwork also garnered accolades throughout his life. A self-taught artist, Leonov was adept at drawing in zero gravity. It was during the space-walking mission of 1965 that Leonov created the first artwork in space. In the artwork, Leonov depicted a small yet remarkable sunrise from the vantage point of the Voskhod 2 spacecraft. London's Science Museum exhibited Leonov's coloured pencil drawing as part of a major exhibition on cosmonauts in 2015. "You can imagine it being a bit of a nightmare … but he wanted to stop the time and share this moment with other people," curator of the exhibition Natalia Sidlina said. Leonov's artworks drew heavily on his experiences in space. His other notable artworks included a self-portrait of his 1965 spacewalk, sketches of fellow astronauts and landscapes in the former Soviet Union. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-50017409

Actually you’ll be surprised to learn that I think it’s brilliant! Absolute masterpiece in my opinion.
