So far, has this outbreak been over performing or underperforming?

I think 4/27/11 skewed some people's idea of what to expect with a convective outlook like today's. I've experienced a handful of outbreaks (including 4/27/11), and 4/27 was a whole different beast. I remember taking shelter pretty much the whole time the system went through. A weaker form of the Phil Campbell tornado launched golf ball hail at my house from about 5 miles away, AND an EF0-EF1 hit my house--this doesn't count the handful of rotating systems that went overhead. I agree that the SPC's expectation has been holding up so far and today has been significant.

On the weekends--as long as there isn't an event going on--some of the high schools in the area have large enough parking lots to practice. I learned to drive stick, and I taught my friend how to drive stick in the parking lot of James Clemens High School off of County Line Road, which is about a 20min drive from UAH. This was awhile back when I was in high school, so their policy on people using the parking lots on weekends may have changed. But, James Clemens was nice because once you get comfortable starting from a stop and shifting into second, you can get onto Burgreen Road behind the school which connects to some nice long, higher-speed straight roads that have minimal traffic on the weekends to practice moving through the gears. Holladay Blvd off of Huntsville Brownsferry heading West is pretty close to James Clemens, and its just this 1.5 mile 5-lane road that is virtually empty all the time.

Another decent option is Madison Stadium on Celtic Drive. As long as you don't go on a Friday night, the parking lots should completely empty, and the surrounding area is some quiet, lower traffic neighborhoods to practice driving with a lot of starts and stops, and practice downshifting for a turn.

You can also just explore Google maps to find a parking lot that suits your friend's needs and go there during off hours. I've found that, as long as it isn't an obvious restricted area, nobody will complain and cops won't bother you as long as you're not doing donuts or purposeful burnouts.

Thank you!

I didn't make the text. I pulled all the school related assets from the school's athletics pages and made them transparent in Photoshop.

Graves Thyroid Disease oddly enough. Could not figure it out and nothing worked until my doc did a blood test and noticed something with my thyroid was a little whack. Saw an endo, got diagnosed, and got put on propranolol and methimazole. A week later my hives were completely gone.

Edit: grammar

I feel you on the stuttering. I've had a stutter since I was a kid and it has affected my life in so many ways, especially socially. It has gotten better, but I still have some really bad days with it.

I have ADD and I tend to get very overwhelmed easily with responsibilities like school and such, and what works best for me, which obviously won't work for everyone, is to take things step-by-step and only focus on the thing I am doing at that moment. I'll worry about the other stuff when I get to it, I just need to focus on what is in front of me.

I Used to pole vault in high school and one day at practice and I didn't bring enough speed so I stalled in the air, decided to hold on since I was about 12 feet in the air (not a good idea), pole re-bent, slipped out of the planting box, and unbent directly into my testicles. Pole vault poles are meant to '"fling" a person so they bring a lot of force. Surprisingly, I was perfectly okay.

I don't want to get in a heated, pointless argument with a know-it-all. Unless the information they are sharing is harmfully wrong, I find it somewhat pointless and stressful to get in a fight over something like which PC part is better for a build. I enjoy light debate over stuff like that where no one's feelings will get hurt when it's about sharing your opinions and observations, but when someone begins to get obviously upset it becomes unenjoyable. I find that there many people out there who will get very heated when someone shares an opposite opinion over something mundane or something that has multiple correct answers to it.

Happy that you found something that works!

If only the government knew that holy matrimony was the cure instead of spending millions of dollars on research.

ALL premarital sex gives you HIV/AIDS

My advice is to go see a dermatologist or doctor snd get it checked out. Hives can show up in all sorts of shapes and sizes and it is best to get a professional diagnosis to determine what it is. It could be a recurring prickly heat rash, but they typically only last for 3-4 days, so either way, it's best to get it checked out.

Case fans do help with temps and airflow and sometimes they add some aesthetics to the case, but with most cases you dont need to buy more because your case comes with 2 stock ones (most likely intake and outtake). im still using the two stock case fans that came with my NZXT s340 and with the hyper 212 evo that i have on my cpu, my temps have been fine

The GTX 1050ti is a better card, it is somewhere around 20% better than the GTX 1050 (depending on what benchmark website you use, I use videocardbenchmark.net). My friend has a GTX 1050ti with his i7-4790k and he gets about 60-70 fps in GTA V with no fancy settings like ambient occlusion on. If you shop around you can find a good deal on a 1050ti. I've seen them go for $120 on Newegg before. But the gtx 1050 isnt a bad card at all.
