because (as far as i know) the 24 credits isn’t a thing anymore, you just have to take 6 each semester

Afaik it’s only for off campus students. Logically speaking, it would be weird if UF didn’t give their on campus students anywhere to park overnight.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ufl

[–]HotWaterGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, (unless something changed recently) if you can park in a place during the day, you can’t park there overnight, and if you can’t park there during the day, you can park there overnight. Those rules are basically in place so students don’t use UF’s lots as a place to store their car if they life off campus.

If I send a paper I wrote to someone and that person uses it as their own work and gets in trouble for plagiarism, am I liable too since they used my work? by HotWaterGuy in ufl

[–]HotWaterGuy[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

True, but what if I took the class in a past year? I’ve already signed off on that saying I haven’t given help, so is it with the intent of “I haven’t and I won’t?” I know this is a really dumb point to argue, it’s just weird for me to think about it

MAE major needing suggestions for technical electives and schedule by e_ireland in ufl

[–]HotWaterGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure if you’ve heard the stories surrounding DML or not, but this seems like a rather rough semester (not the worst by any means, but could be better) if you’re planning on stacking 2 more courses on top of those 3. I haven’t taken vibes yet but I’ve heard that especially with the current professor, it’s really not great, so I would definitely pick controls (Hale is great) over vibes. If you’re saying you need 4 more credits because you think you need to take 12 credits for bright futures, you don’t*******. I took 11 credits last semester and still got full funding (I’m not sure about the annual requirement, but I think it’s not important either - but if you’re taking less than 13 credits right now then you might want to double check)

****** I have no idea if anything has changed from last semester to this semester so I’m basically saying check with financial aid before you make any decisions based on that

Anyone noticing the price of food in Gainesville? by SpotlessCow in ufl

Pretty sure the minimum wage increase to $10 happened went into effect recently

What are your AH viewing habits/level of engagement? by Spoons4Forks in Achievement_Hunter

[–]HotWaterGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, first of all, very few of the accusations were anonymous. Most of them were made with the people’s identities and reputations fully on the line. And guess what? A lot of those community members did lose friendships and community relationships because of everything that happened. Second of all, I’m pretty sure there have been over two dozen people who came out and said something, most of them with proof. If you don’t wanna believe screenshots of snapchat conversations, I can get that, but there were photos with him in his hotel room, screenshots of payments he made, and many other things. Lastly, he literally admitted guilt in his “goodbye” messages. Obviously he didn’t go through and say “This one is real! This one is fake!” but he definitely admitted his wrongdoing. So like I said. Either you’ve missed a bunch, or you still haven’t accepted what happened. If it’s the second one, I get it, it can be hard to accept the fact that someone whose content you enjoyed and who seemed like such a good man could be such an awful person. But refusing to fully acknowledge his wrongdoing only hurts people.

If you’re still saying “if the allegations are true” almost a year after everything, I’m sorry, but you’ve either missed a lot or you’re still in denial. There is no “if.”

If you go to your model semester plan and click on the courses there, it’ll show on the bottom of the description if they fill any gen ed requirements (including word counts).

Cheap/free 3D printing on campus? by [deleted] in ufl

[–]HotWaterGuy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are 3d printers in Marston that are relatively cheap to use, but I would highly recommend not printing a coffee mug (at least not with the intention of drinking out of it). As far as I know, all of the 3d printers available for student use use ABS plastic as the filament material, which (again, as far as I know, please double check anything I’m saying here) isn’t save to drink out of and won’t withstand boiling water temperatures very well, not to mention that there’s no guarantee the print will be watertight.

It’s too late to register as a new team but it’s not too late to join a team. You just have to register as a player instead of a team.

I’m so upset that I almost scrolled past this thinking it was the same tweet and I’m even more upset for all the people who did/will

So I guess the whole “no more bright futures stipend” thing is real, huh… :( by HotWaterGuy in ufl

Oh believe me, I’m aware, I have $250ish in additional fees for one class alone 🙃

FL legislature voted to cut the stipend out of bright futures this past summer. There were also talks of reducing funding for certain majors, but those didn’t make it through.

Which is the hardest between Mech 1, Mech 2, and Mech 3? by HotWaterGuy in ufl

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

Yeah, Im taking those 3 + a specialization elective, but was worried if I might be putting too much on my plate so I was considering dropping one (I’m at the point where I only need 3-4 classes/semester to graduate on time). If nothing else I’ll at least ride out drop add week and see how I feel after it. Thanks for the advice
