This app in its local variant only downloads a couple of models and oc...

The other day I whizzed past several people while running in the park, my playlist blasting at full volume.

My networking notes used to be full of layer names, header diagrams, and TCP flags. I knew the terminology, but when someone asked what happens after calling send() , my explanation stopped at "the data goes down the stack."
