Hello, so I have been wondering about something. Ping is the time it takes for a packet to reach the device you are pinging AND the time it takes to reach back to you summed up. It is in two directions. TCP packets go back and forth for redundancy and retransmit when lost, so the time should be exactly the same as your ping results. UDP packets only transmit without ever caring if it was recieved or lost. The time it takes to reach should be about half of the ping results since it is only in one direction.

Real time applications like calling and gaming, as to my understanding, use UDP and not TCP.

I am in Lebanon and I think every international connection here must be routhed through France first. A packet from Lebanon to France should take about 27ms and a full roundtrip ping is 55ms. Gaming on French servers has the least possible latency of around 55 to 70ms. My question is why is the latency equal to that of the ping results, which is back and forth? Shouldn't my controls be sent in one direction only from Lebanon to France and take 27ms only, and the controls of other players be sent to me from France in one direction only with also a latency of 27ms? Why is the latency always equal to forward and backward directions summed up to 55ms? Thanks in advance.

Many sites restrict VPS IPs. Cloudflare WARP reduces the restriction but doesn't solve it completely. What do you do about it?

Hello, so this a memory I have from my childhood and I am wondering if anyone else also remembers. There used to be an energy drink called Zombie and the can was all black. It had "Zombie" written on it vertically using mosnterous looking green font where the O was just a poppoed out eyeball. The ad was definitely on LBCi. It was mostly the can with a white background and a snip from the song "What's in your head..... in your head... Zombie.... zombie". This has to be over 15 years ago because I was a kid back then who just learned about zombies and vampires and found the ad interesting. I expect at least one or two to remember this. I don't expect anyone to remember the following since it's very specific:

Ktir Salbe Show promoted the enegy drink in one their Atrameeze skits. You know how he says normal words but makes them sound inappropriate. He told Dolly to drink "Zmbee", making it sound like "Zibi." When she gets mad, he says "lak zimbee zimbee" and pulls out a can. I didn't even know what zibi was at the time lol.

Hello, I remember an asian tv series which is most likely korean. It was dubbed in arabic here. I remember the man hits the rear of her car and when he confronts her, she throws money at him disrespectfully and goes away. I think this is how they me, but I am not sure. They develop a complicated love relationship where they fight alot for comedy purposes. One episode, her father gets angry and cancels all of her credit cards and kicks her out. She goes to a hotel and tries alot of credit cards to pay for a room but none work. She gets hungry but has no money so she calls the poor guy and he takes her for breakfast while they argue and he pays for it. She even wanted a cold drink and because they were arguing and she is ungrateful, he told the waiter to make her pay for it to tease her, but he pays for it eventually.

Hello, I remember vaguely an episode from most likely Tom and Jerry. In which either Tom, Jerry, or both were relaxing and suddenly something causes the entire house to shake in a cyclic manner. Every second, something similar to a large stomp makes Tom and/or Jerry bounce away from their locations. Other random objects from the house might have also been bouncing away. It may have made them unwillingly bounce out the house. A heavy stomp that occurs once a second. I don't really remember well anything. I am not sure if any of the details are accurate.
