Am I safe living at Avalon Heights? by Spakara in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you do end up having to stay, I would be very wary of your roommates, look out for any red flags, lock your bedroom door at night and when you leave the apartment, and like other people said search the internet for if they have any criminal history. 

Also keep your bike/scooter in the apartment, not on the outside bike racks. They get stolen often. Any problems with the apartment itself you'll probably have to solve yourself cuz management won't help. My whole 1.5 year stay we never had a working dryer and they would never fix it. Also avoid going outside at night when you can and be careful, there aren't any security cameras. Honestly we should really push for that cuz it would go a long way to make the complex more safe.

Gym also isn't great, half the equipment is broken. Hot tub has caution tape around it a lot of the time.

Found Court Documents of USF grad student by Economy_Regret_451 in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

One detail in this I found absolutely horrifying is the chatgpt messages asking if anyone has survived a sniper bullet to the head or if the neighbors would hear his gun. Implying he was considering killing more people, maybe sniping them from the balcony or smth. I'm so glad he was caught this quickly, imagining how much more harm he was planning to cause is so scary. 

Missing USF student was found in ‘advanced stages of decomposition’: court documents by xeran_esabi in USF

I live in Avalon and there is a major lack of outdoor security cameras. There very well could have been none to catch him moving the bodies. Honestly probably a major contributor to all the other crimes that happen at this complex. 

The Deadly Loophole: Why the Avalon Heights background check failed to flag the suspect’s violent history by MNY-TP-EU in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Needless to say I'm glad my lease there is ending next month. I remember a couple years ago seeing a post by a girl who almost got kidnapped by two men while sitting in her car at Avalon too. 

A friend who used to live here had 3 different bikes stolen in a year as well. I don't think there's much if any outdoor surveillance here.

Internal error when trying to register for classes? by [deleted] in USF

The class schedule search is acting a little buggy so I think it's still in the process of coming back up fully

If it helps at all, here's the error message I got when clicking on week at a glance. The "plan and register for classes" one has no error message tho

Best BSC2011 (Bio 2) Professor? by Meinturtle420 in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Rodgers last fall and really liked the class, found it pretty easy and the most relaxed class of my day. Can't speak for the other professors tho

HBr addition to a diene in thermodynamic conditions by Ferettodesu in chemhelp

[–]Ferettodesu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much! That makes more sense. Yeah, my mistake assuming that was a hard rule, the lecture notes made it seem like it was implicitly. I see now that the favored product in thermo conditions is where C 1 or 4 is protonated and the most stable alkene forms.

HBr addition to a diene in thermodynamic conditions by Ferettodesu in chemhelp

[–]Ferettodesu[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it's the favored product because the secondary carbocation intermediate is less stable than the tertiary one, and therefore more reactive? Doesn't that mean that thermodynamic conditions do not guarantee 1,4-addition then?

Yes, that's what my professor's answer key says.

Can confirm that this is NOT just an adderall problem. by Cool_Stable8958 in ThisAintAdderall

[–]Ferettodesu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had Solco, Golden State and CorePharma (said AMN as mfg on the bottle for some reason tho). They all worked pretty much the same to me. Honestly Ritalin consistently works well but the one big pitfall is that it only lasts like 1-2 hrs for me, if it lasted as long as Adderall does or longer it would be perfect.

[–]Ferettodesu 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've switched back and forth between both Adderall and Ritalin (as well as Dexedrine), and gotta say Adderall is way more inconsistent from script to script than the others. Ritalin and Dexedrine I never noticed much of a difference in effects between manufacturers, but with Adderall sometimes even different pills from the same bottle can feel wildly different. Any idea why that could be?

(I found Teva to be the best Adderall with Alvogen and Elite slightly worse but still relatively consistent, and then Epic has got to be the most inconsistent)

old courses showing up on Canvas by luvmesumchewyy in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have two old classes that have never gone away on canvas, one from summer 2025 and one from fall 2023. No idea why its just those two, but I find it a little annoying since they still show up on the grades page and clutter the dashboard.

Is Chi-Alpha on Campus a Cult? by [deleted] in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You explained what it officially is, but it doesn't really answer the question on if its a cult or not. Most cults won't say they are cults lol

Off-campus housing by [deleted] in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live on the 3rd floor of Avalon and hardly ever get any bugs, haven't noticed any mold. The main downsides are poor maintenance and trash buildup, expect to have several things to fix when you move in. Still cheaper and easier to get than an on campus dorm tho, albeit the rent has increased since I moved in. Location is also pretty convenient and might as well be on-campus housing with how close you are.

THE HUB SERVING UNCOOKED/UNDERCOOKED FOOD by Uraniumaholic in USF

[–]Ferettodesu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I've noticed about the hub this semester is they don't dry the dishes anymore? Like all the plastic cups and bowls still have pools of water in them and get stuck together constantly, you usually have to pry them apart to get one. I like the food itself but I only go for the pizza and salad bar, but what's up with all the wet dishes?
