The Punic Wars were another step in the endless grinding of the Romans against every region bordering their territories. Yes both Carthage and atomen were expanding into each other’s sphere of influence, but I don’t agree that either side considered it a struggle for ultimate power.

Across the street was the house of Rep. Carol Miller, R-W.Va. The imposing brick home was darkened, the curtains were drawn. No car was visible in the driveway. But for the assembled, it was a last ditch effort to get some kind of attention from the Congresswoman.

For example, the more gas a business uses in the Netherlands, the less they generally pay per unit. This is terrible for our carbon footprint, where we basically subsidize the worst emitters. 😟
That’s what I thought but there’s slightly more than that.
The writer tried to trick ChatGPT 5, saying Vermont has no R in it. ChatGPT did say “wait, it does”. But then when pushed it said, “oh right there is no R in Vermont”.

For example any story about generation gaps.
It’s also good to support less wealthy workers when you realize that you are all workers. Join a union even if you’re well-paid and relatively safe.

There’s a lot!

A TCP session is a unique combination of client IP, client port, server IP, and server port.
So you can use the same IP and port as long as the destination is a different IP or port.
This means that in principle you could use the same IP and port to connect to every IP address on the Internet using 65536 concurrent sessions. 😆
This wouldn’t help going to popular destinations, since they have a lot of people going to the same IP address and port, but for many (most?) of them you probably have some sort of CDN servers in your data centers anyway.
