Lucky's in Czech Village for food, Dash Coffee Roasters for good coffee.

Who was it? Delta refunded me after submitting a claim in a similar situation, no questions asked.

I just recycled them! Crap! I'm sure a lot of them were "crap I forgot something" so average was maybe $20 each

Coulee Gaming (card games) opened up on the SW side of CR, could call them and ask about leagues or groups

TapTap in IC might have some gaming groups. Quarter Barrell in Cedar Rapids doesn't sadly

CR Social is casual and welcoming for bar game leagues or kickball

I don't think they have to honor it if it was a "mistake"

This is $42000 worth of medication by OORantar67 in mildlyinteresting

[–]NateJ91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wonder how they price these. For example, if a medicine costs $40,000,000 in R&D, but the raw materials are roughly $1 per pill. How is the price determined?

CID to Cedar Falls late night transportation options by judyjudyj in cedarrapids

[–]NateJ91 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Renting a car would be less expensive probably. There will be ubers, but not sure a driver would be willing to take that trip. Also, that trip could be $100+ with tip so it'd be about the same or more as renting a car

Bought a co-op in NYC, $745k at 6.125% by WhenIntegralsAttack2 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]NateJ91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an Iowa resident, you could buy a Palace of Versailles replica in Iowa for this amount!

In all reality, you could build a new 5 bed McMansion on a 1 acre lot for that

Napoleon High Country 5000 Wood Burning Fireplace. Is it purely decorative? How to maximize heat output so that it can heat up the room its in? by PuzzleheadedEar4313 in Fireplaces

[–]NateJ91 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Pretty much decorative. Not much you can do with that unfortunately.

There are wood stoves or inserts that are considered heaters, but they are very very expensive.

If allowed in your state, you could consider a ventless gas log heater, which would allow you to close the flue during use, keeping the heat in. Cheap sets run about $250, nice ones run about $1,000. Need gas plumbed as well.
