Except most floors are that horrible pressboard rubbish, and you'd have to buy and install 3/4 inch plywood, then some sort of flooring over. It's not easy nor inexpensive.

Then I can't advise you. Beware of triangulation from either party.

My best to you, whatever you decide. 🥂
- Comment on I also have an opportunity to study abroad in Iceland. Is that also a good choice? 2 weeks ago:
If you want a more comfortable bourgeoise experience, perhaps. I've never been to either country, but from reading, Iceland would be more comfortable. Hungary may give more opportunity from getting working poor perspectives, particularly teachers. But reading is 2-D, IRL is 3-D. Perhaps a year in each is possible?

Definitely, go. I think make friends with some of the poorer people, get their perspectives.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to Heaven
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to Heaven
There's a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgivenOoh, makes me wonder
Ooh, makes me wonderThere's a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand lookingOoh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, really makes me wonderAnd it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughterOh-oh-oh-oh-whoa
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed, now
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're onAnd it makes me wonder
Oh, whoaYour head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know
The piper's calling you to join him
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow? And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to rollAnd she's buying a stairway to Heaven

Brooms are easily and affordably replaced, don't need an app, can't be forced to SaaS, and if the maker goes out of business, you can find another.

- Comment on 'The Netherlands also has Islamic grooming gangs' – 10 men gang raped and beat 18-year-old girl, mostly Syrians arrested 2 weeks ago:
It does happen. We just don't talk about it because of reactions like this. This isn't just LDS ot JW, or Catholics. It's also Baptist, Pentecostal, Holiness, Methodist, Lutheran, SDA, Episcopalian, Evangelical, Apostolic, non-denominational. We don't talk about other abuses either, because of reactions like this. And just FYI, the cops are clients and abusers, too. In my hometown, the ATF cop used to ply young girls with seized contraband to make them more compliant.
This isn't just rich people, like in the Epstein files. It's poor people who can't buy groceries, pay the light bill, the mechanic, the rent. Or women who want antiques or men who want a promotion.

Being a pharmaceutical researcher, Wesker likely could have done this with more access to paywalled studies.

This is wilful ignorance, at best. I'm willing ti concede it probably doesn't happen as much in the Netherlands as the USA, but the population is a lot less, too.
Elsewhere, I said:
Do you think Western women are exempt? It happens so frequently. I recently had a proustite tell me one of her children was by rape by a family member. Another was trafficked at ab early age to her mother's abuser for a discount on antiques. Not free antiques, a discount. The mother was extremely abusive because this woman chose poverty over prostitution, or legalized prostitution by marrying a rich man. Another who was trafficked to her stepfather before school age was murdered by a client. Several more traffic try to traffic themselves then end up pimped, for "protection."
All this in a small village of less than 500 with no less than 20 churches, mothers and/or traffickers all in attendance, the men pimps and johns pastors, deacons, elders. Many end up married to their avoiders, for a veneer of respectability the abusers had from being born the correct gender...
