• By the time @edscoble became self-aware it had spread into millions of computer servers across the planet. Ordinary computers in office buildings, dorm rooms; everywhere. It was software; in cyberspace. There was no system core; it could not be shutdown. The attack began at 6:18 PM, just as he said it would. Judgment Day, the day the human race was almost destroyed by the weapons they'd built to protect themselves. I should have realized it was never our destiny to stop Judgment Day, it was merely to survive it, together. @andyp knew; he tried to tell us, but I didn't want to hear it. Maybe the future has been written. I don't know; all I know is what the @andyp taught me; never stop fighting. And I never will. The battle has just begun.

  • Apparently I haven’t had a disc brake related question for 9 years, but I enjoyed this.

    Anyway, I have a road bike, 160mm front and back, flat mount, shimano 105 currently. I want to achieve the best braking possible (I’m tall, I always weigh too much to be any good at cycling and currently weigh even more).

    What is my best plan of action? Buy mtb callipers, bigger discs and adaptors, if the discs will clear my frame? Am I restricted to Road callipers? Am I right to feel that road callipers are less powerful than mtb, and if so why….?

    Please and thank you in advance.
