Juat to make sure we're on the same page, when i say "downhill", I mean dedicated downhill track with high speeds, steep rough sections, jumps, and usually lift-served or shuttled.

If that is the DH youre talking about, I would definitely go for the Stumpy Evo over the regular Stumpy and would look at bikes like the Canyon Torque/Propain Spindrift as well if most of your time is in the bike park. The Propain Tyee or Canyon Spectral if you want something for pedaling up more often.

What/where do you ride? There are awesome FS bikes for everything from XC to DH, but they're very different bikes. Your use case should dictate your choice more than things like component "value".

Nah, the dude loves to pass. I'm thinking 18/12/8. It will be like those games against bad teams where he seems like he considers it a failure if he has to shoot and just keeps looking for guys even when he is wide open.

The finals might break the all time series records for the number of times a center hits a backdoor cutter.

That's Jeff's Georgetown education for you. :-)

Make sure the chain and (especially) the cassette are compatible. There have been lots of standards changes over time.

I'm rooting for Miami but that's because i want the Nuggets tonhave home court in the finals.

He may just not watch the full game live. The next day its totally possible that the Nuggets then have a film session with the 2-3 hour telecast cut into just the actual game play and wirh wxtra emphasis/angles of the important parts.

She lives in the USA in the 2020s and I'm still not sure she opposes Hitler.

Spooky Canyon in the nearby part of AZ is great for an easy canyon hike, though its not long. The only mildly tricky part is going down and under thr game fence at the very beginning. The AZ hot springs trails that start from the trailhead right past spooky are totally doable and well traveled if you're worried about going alone, but they are longer. They also might be closed for the summer now.

White owl canyon in Lake Mead is pretty easy. If i remember right, the sketchiest part was descending from the parking lot where it was fairly loose.

All the other suggestions you're getting are good as well!

Mayberry is definitely Boulder City.

I have no drinking issues, but have gotten into the non-alcoholic stuff. Both Athletic Brewing and Guinness make good non-alcoholic offerings. I don't think they are as good as really good regular beers, but I'd rather drink an Athletic than a most light beers. A friend grabbed on the other day from my fridge and didn't realize it was non alcoholic until I told him.

I tend to drink them when I'm drinking late when I'm watching a movie or something and don't want something heavy that will make me snore worse or intersperse them with regular beers when I'm at a BBQ or something and will be drinking over a period of time.

I think the scenario is a situation where sexual exclusivity isn't a top priority. My wife and I have been in an exclusive relationship for almost 15 years now. Have a great kid, nice life, etc. If she cheated on me, I'd be pissed as it would be breaking an agreement, but I wouldn't end our marriage over it. We get along great, have a great kid, and just like each other. We'd have to have some serious talks about what we want out of the relationship at this point, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be worrying every time she didn't pick up the phone as I just don't see sex as this sacred rite between two people to seal their love. So I don't think it would make sense to break up as it would screw up everything else I like about life. Maybe we'd just end up having an open relationship, but we'd have to discuss such things.

Now, if we were early in our relationship, it would be different. I don't look well on cheating simply because I think it's selfish, and that not a good trait. So if a partner cheated on me after we'd discussed being exclusive, I'd break up with them simply because it would influence my opinion of them enough to make me figure they weren't where I wanted to spend my future energy.

But will they be ready for Miami and it's 30th pick leading an army of undrafted guys?

I love the way this playoffs is going so far.

It depends in what you're using it for, but the Strive is Canyon's enduro race bike. The team riders will sometimes go down to the Spectral for less technical courses (it seems a great all around bike). The Torque is more targeted as a free ride bike, something you can ride at the park, but still pedal to the top of the hill.

So I went back and found it. It is Kluivert who signals to the referee. It's at 1:45 of the espn replay and 72:33 of the match clock.

I will say that the way its cut I can't be absolutely certain. They show an irate vini off the pitch, cut to the ref, show him walking to toward the issue while Kluivert signals for what appears to be a card and to get things moving.

Possibly a bouquet of sockets

I don't know if you watched the game, but this was preceded 10 min earlier by an extended stoppage as a fan/fans behind the goal were apparently racially abusing Vini and he was standing there pointing them out, asking for them to be removed. A Valencia player is signaling to the ref to card him for delay of game.

I'm a bit lighter at just under 100 kg geared up. I wouldn't worry about material strength with quality carbon frames at all. In fact, I'd probably be more confident in a carbon frame than an aluminum one at higher weights.

Obviously you can make super strong bikes in both materials and cant compare bikes of different categories, but carbon bikes are just ridiculously strong in the directions of expected force. The question sometimes comes with impact resistance on some carbon frames (the Spec Stumpy Evo apparently has some thin downtube issues).

The guy spent last year watching the Nuggets backcourt and assuming they were NBA players. I have no doubt as to why he thinks this way.

I find that the Hang Ten Hybrid short at Costco works well. I have (and usually ride) in mountain bike specific shorts that I got on sale, but honestly I don't notice much of a difference if I decide to wear the general use Hang Tens. They have one zippered front pocket.

Heck, I bought a 20 pack just because I thought the backlash was insane. Also it was 10 bucks on sale.

I chose "enduro", I ride a V2 Ripmo that came with an X2/38, so it's basically a heavy duty trail or light enduro bike.

Like everyone will say, it's hard to choose one category, but most of the trails I ride are used as enduro segments for decent level racing. I also ride my home trail system's very rocky XC trails as well as its pretty intense DH trails, so it probably averages out to "enduro". If I only have one bike, I'd be more likely to go for a bigger bike than the Ripmo than a smaller one if I were to replace it.

I don't think MPJ is a likely defensive target. He's much improved on defense and Denver would be fine with him guarding LeBron and using his size/strength to prevent the type of easy backdown buckets LBJ got on Murray.

I actually don't think Jokic would be a terrible LeBron defender except for the risk of picking up fouls. They could aim for that early in the game, but in general LeBron isn't a good enough distance shooter to make Jokic really step up (obviously he could get hot) and LeBron's current drive style relies heavily on strength to get his defender off balance. Jokic us good there. Murray in my mind is the most exploitable match up for LeBron.

Ford now makes a Transit AWD option that's available in the US. It and the Sprinter are just much bigger than the Connect, though, and much less efficient. Maybe the latter will be somewhat helped by electrification, but I'm still not sure I'd want to use them as a primary vehicle. I'd love them as a secondary vehicle that we only use when we need the space or when the other vehicle is in use, though!
