There was a recent thread regarding potential situations where a team should intentionally call a timeout with none remaining. The penalty for doing so is two free throws. The ball then returns to the point of interruption. So a team who has possession and does this will give up two free throws, but then get the ball back. The main thread was asking about a player falling out of bounds, but one of the comments (u/bwburke94) suggested doing so when possessing the ball deep in the back court with little time left down 1.

UNC encountered this exact scenario last night, with Clemson intentionally missing a FT up 1 with 2.7 seconds left and no timeouts remaining for UNC. UNC grabbed the rebound,

I saw a comment in the last round asking about KTM. I thought I’d start a post to collect any valid words that people have found that have no vowels and no “y” acting as a vowel. These words can be very useful when creating joker tiles, as if you have a long word ready, you may need a word without vowels to create the requisite joker tiles. For example, if you have 15 letters, and want to create and 11 letter word with 9 of those letters and two joker tiles, you will need to create two 3 letter words with the remaining 6. If you only have 1 vowel in those 6 letters, you can quickly deduce that it’s not possible unless you can make a vowel-less word. I have come across four of them so far:

Has anyone played any 13+ letter naval words that are horizontal? I’d like to move my townhall east by one pixel to be able to move it south by a couple of pixels without the coastline becoming an issue, but if do, one of my 12 letter naval buildings gets to be too far from the shore.

I’ve not had too much trouble with vertical ones, but horizontal ones seem harder, because most of the good naval prefixes such as OCEAN, CONTAINER, SEA, SHIP all start with odd letters and lead to vertical buildings.

I’ve been following rounds and shared cities for a little bit to check for them (or words that could be turned into them with a suffix), but the only one I’ve found is HARBORMASTER, which I cou

I recently bought a BMC teammachine with an ICS2 stem. Looking for compatible garmin mounts, I can only find the one BMC makes (and was suggested in a previous thread several months ago) and one on Amazon where the only reviews say it doesn’t actually fit a bmc stem. The problem is, BMC is out of stock (at least in the US). I also have aero bars, so anything like the standard garmin out front mount is out.

Does anyone know of a mount besides the BMC one that’s actually compatible with that stem and can ship in a reasonable time to the US? There seemed to be plenty of eBay listings, but I know international shipping can often take several weeks, and I’m looking to ride this bike pretty soon

I recently bought a BMC teammachine that was built up from a frame. It was either a 2022 or 23 frame and built with an 11 speed r8050 di2. It has a short cage derailleur and 11x28 cassette. I’ve never really done any significant changes to previous bikes I’ve owned, just like for like swaps of worn parts, so want to make sure I do everything I need to do here. I want to convert it to fit an 11x34 cassette, and see that I’ll need to buy a gs cage derailleur to fit an 11x34. Obviously I’ll need a new chain to resize it. So that leaves me two questions:

• Are there any other parts that I would need to consider replacing aside from the cassette, rear derailleur, and chain?

• Shimano doesn’t ma

I’m visiting San Antonio for the first time this week. I came in for the eclipse and am sticking around to ride in L’Etape Texas on Sunday. Looking to see if anyone here has thoughts on any “must ride” roads for someone who’s visiting. I’m not trying to ride super hard this week with the big ride on Sunday, but also, it’s not like I’m going to win, so I don’t mind trying out some big local climb if it’s worth it. I’m generally comfortable on roads with cars within reason (I just don’t need to ride into a spot with a line of 10 cars behind me itching to pass and start imagining gaps that aren’t there), and I have a Jeep rented so I can tote the bike to a starting point if needed.

I’m going to travel with my bike a couple of times next year for the first time. I was lucky enough to win a pair of anytime domestic plane tickets (USA) and since I’m single, I was able to split it into two trips. The flights are on American, who looks to have a pretty good policy on taking bikes. Since it’s two trips, and I’ll want to keep doing it in the future, I want to invest in a travel case, rather than do the cardboard box thing. I’ve looked at old threads, but haven’t found anything definitive, especially since bag models are always changing.

From everything I’ve read, TSA inspections are pretty much guaranteed, so I’ll want something that won’t confuse a TSA agent and lead to my

I’m looking to get a floor fan for use with my trainer. I currently scrape by with a couple tiny portable fans at strategic locations and don’t need anything as fancy as a headwind. The fan linked below has the two biggest features I want. It sits on the floor and is remote controlled. I feel like 20” may be slightly too big to fit under my cycling desk however and wanted to find something in the 14-18” range in the same price point, but everything I find online or looking in old threads on here is either manually controlled, or it’s a pedestal or wall mount fan. It’s seems weird that for under $100, I have no problem finding remote controlled 14-18” fans, I have no problem finding 14-18” fl
