    Panicked Mask Wearers, Read This NOW

    Sorry there is no evidence this works as a prophylaxis.  I understand that there is a study that touts Ivermectin as a way to inhibit COVID replication, but this study was in in vitro, not in vivo, which makes a huge difference.  There are many studies underway to study this medication as it has...

    coronavirus

    Perhaps you should plainly state your point.  From the few posts I have seen from you, it appears you are implying that COVID is not that bad or the effects from COVID are inflated.  If so, this discussion would be better served by you writing that in a clear and concise way with reasons or...

    Real estate vs stock market

    I would argue one does not replace another.  I have owned both for several years and feel gold is the "stable value holding" that you refer whereas cryptos seem to be much more risky, albeit much more profitable.

    Subzero Refrigerator

    I bought from them because I got 10% back on best buy rewards as well as a free install with a certified installer which gave me an extra year of warranty.  Furthermore I went to Ferguson and Pirch as well.  I didnt think they were that great.  In all honesty they are all sales people trying to...

    Subzero Refrigerator

    Yes it seems they use third party delivery and for sure 3rd party installers.  They get low ratings because most their sales people are A-holes and not very knowledgeable.  A word of advice, never go to the plumbing dept off their Irvine location.  There is a grumpy old lady that works there...

    Agree this is a WTF for sure.  1.39 for a 2300sq ft motorcourt condo?  Thats a HARD pass.

    Subzero Refrigerator

    They are never on sale.  Most high end appliance companies including SZ have set prices and force all their sellers to abide by the prices they set.  I can tell you that if you buy with pacific sales, they will install for free and they will use an authorized installer which will get you an...

    Roth IRA vs IRA

    You might be hit with a fairly large amount of taxes if you do this.  I suppose it would depend on your yearly taxable income.  Check out the pro rata rule.

    Property taxes

    Who knows?  why is it due in Feb and not Jan 1st?  why is half of it paid in arrears and half in advance?  It all seems completely random and illogical to me.  Im sure some smart (being sarcastic here) person in county office decided these random dates.

    Property taxes

    Orange County taxes are a bit weird.  Half is paid in advanced and other half is paid arrears.  Payment is for the fiscal year that starts July 1st and ends next June 1st.  The answer to whether you pay your next installment depends on when you sell your house.  Either way as Cares mentioned...

    [Requesting Suggestions/Recommendations] - First time home buyer

    Perhaps my advice may not make sense to those who will not have anything to gain from it.  However to others in an unfortunate situation as it is for current first time buyers, it may be somewhat reasonable.  Since you are so reassured of the supply of renters, I suggest you go buy another...

    [Requesting Suggestions/Recommendations] - First time home buyer

    So far all the advice you received is where to look for a home that fits your budget (clearly not irvine based on responses).  I will give you advice that is completely different.  Id wait and see.  I personally think it is a horrible time to buy.  Its taboo on this website to tell people not to...

    Issues with new home build?

    I would never purchase a new build in much the same way I would never purchase a flip.  As many have mentioned here already, there are major quality issues with new builds some of which are not easily seen to the average person, but others are obvious to anyone.
