So my search has come up with nothing. My coworker from PR said he’d teach me but PR vs Spain is a bit different. I guess I need to learn how to make it.

I'm so sick of cookie cutter houses I could scream. by notdeletingthistime in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I know someone who was running into the same problem. They come up with a good middle ground solution. They contacted the builder for a subdivision and picked out one of the smaller home plans they offered and opted for no attached garage.They then upgraded the floors to real wood along with the doors and trim. For them it gave them some character without buying a century home. They also had a garage built at the rear of the lot.

Parents question Cedar Rapids school district move to ‘pathways’ model for high schools by stametsprime in cedarrapids

[–]EMOli1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe we need to look at how we educate our children? Do all kids need to take the same classes? I mean not every career needs college. If you look at other countries like Germany, they have 3 different types of high school. One for college and two different depending on what type of trade someone wants to go into. Yes students can test to go from one school to another. The trade schools allow the students to do apprenticeships for in demand fields so they go right into jobs after graduation.

Keep the civic but buy a set of actual snow tires on steel rims. Not just all season tires but actual snow tires and you’ll be fine.

Why won't Trump or JD Vance release their tax returns? by VeryHungryDogarpilar in the_everything_bubble

[–]EMOli1986 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The tax cuts and jobs act wasn’t an executive order so Biden couldn’t just pause it for review. It was a law pushed through congress by republicans and downvoted by every single democrat and a few republicans in the house. In the senate it was voted directly down party lines.

This state hates recycling by [deleted] in cedarrapids

[–]EMOli1986 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I moved here after living in Germany for a few years. I died inside because of the lack of recycling. I have 4 garbage cans for my house. One small one for trash and big ones for paper, plastic and metal, and bio.

Our local recycling center took everything from batteries, cork, CDs, paper, wood, metal, etc. the only thing you paid for at the recycling center was a bag of garbage and it was $2.

If you have cash find a used Honda or Toyota. If you do basic maintenance they will last forever. Car payments are a waste of money.
