McDonalds is kinda like cigarettes: expensive and bad for you. I can't afford a habit like that

I may have buried them back up and then taken a shit at the location. Then, under the cover of night, returned to retrieve.

Modeling the physical world is challenging enough when we ignore entire phenomena.

Like 10 years ago, I got started by doing this project:

OpenBSD PF: Building a Router

In general, I'd recommend ANY BSD documentation or guides, they're all written by knowledgeable ppl who are also likely educators in CS departments. Also, I'd recommend actually doing a project. Reading is useful and IMO the doing is much more effective.

Idk bruh, we may just have to agree to disagree. There's a finite physical limit to how many $100 bills can be crammed into a tire, toy, or dog. Even if there is a will to cram more than that, physical limits are limits.

I appreciate the sentiment and believe basic media literacy skills include, and don't exclude, questions like "does this make physical sense?" which I've tried to address for the community here.

Sure, that might account for the discrepancy between the 131 and 140 million dollars. There are three boxes in the photo, so if they were all filled with cash there'd be about $400 million total and each box would weigh in at ~1 ton which would tear a refrigerator box to shreds.

IMO - this smells of fake news/propaganda.

Yup, we saw that as well. When we accounted for the color of the lighting in the room, the analysis confidence rose from "confident" to "dead-on balls accurate."

It a messaging app for android that uses XMPP protocol.

Instead of a phone number, users get a xmpp address (like an email address) which is used to send/receive messages, make voice/video calls. Has all the features ppl like (group chats, file xfer, typing indicator, encryption, etc) and is decentralized and open.

FWIW, WhatApp is actually based on XMPP protocol.

The image was enhanced and run through an analysis to identify the type of currency. They've been confirmed as USD $100 notes.

This story contains details which don't make physical sense to me.

A bundle of $10,000, that's 100 $100 bills, occupies (6.14 x 2.61 x 0.0043 )in = 6.89in^3

Then a refrigerator box might be (72 x 38 x 33)in = 90,288 in^3

Dividing the two out, we get:

90,288 / 6.89 ~= 13,100 bundles/refrigerator box

Which adds up to

$131 million per box

So while any one box might hold $140 million, I see multiple boxes AND refrigerator boxes aren't going to stand up to that kind of weight. A pile of cash like that is gonna weigh a ton.
