@SonictheMaskedWerehog was, some time. I have no idea what happened to it
@Rob Well, things are extremely cheap here, so a McDonald's employee's monthly salary is the monthly salary of a well-off job here.
Regardless, such comparisons and salary calculators terribly fail at grasping the whole picture. Our worlds are so different that a lot of work payments here don't make sense and a lot of benefits there don't make sense here either
@M.A.R. Apparently you have: "Mash Donalds, Boof Burger, Subways, Sheak Shack, Pizza Hat, etc.", so I'd compare how much is a hamburger or pizza there vs. here. How much does a comparable car (or bicycle, if that's more reasonable) cost. How much is a home with a tiny bit of land (if there's such a thing). Basically compare the cost of living vs. earnings. If everyone is guaranteed a job and a home (as in another country) that changes
things compared to where one must pay for everything - even medical can make you broke.
Some people apparently prefer to be treated here than the US :p
@Rob Well, if we're going with 20k dollar prices, a nice hammy burger with all the stuff in it costs 1 dollar.
There are no big franchises here like the MacDonald's, so even that comparison isn't simple
There's incredibly heavy tariff on foreign cars here. For the normal chap, if you don't have connections. They want to encourage us to buy the amazing products Iranian car companies montage, so natural selection is sped up.
And we have many millions of Iranian citizens below the poverty line, and I think it's getting worse. The economic gap is ever widening.
I think you're starting to see why I don't go out too often. Even a physiology textbook counts as escapist.
And finally, everything is more expensive in Tehran compared to even other 'big' cities.
Tabriz isn't that big I guess, especially by western standards. I really love this city though
@M.A.R. McDonald's has a special ATM, where all the big meals are U$5 (so, Big Mac burger is $5).
@M.A.R. We have cities where the prices for everything is unreasonable, mostly an area of the city; example everywhere sells tiny coffee cup for $1.50, where you should at least get a medium. Places that have long hours charge more than places that are only open 8 hours a day. Etc. Many ways to be ripped off if you can't be bothered to travel for better deal.
@M.A.R. but not at Mash Donald's ;)
Here donor can not be paid, but it will cost you a kidney (figuratively) to get one put in.
@MetaAndrewT. Ugh. Is it at levels of time yet where you can at least do something else, or is it at that in-between stage where you're stuck doing nothing for seconds/minutes at a time?
Samsung DeX is a feature included on some high-end Samsung handheld devices that enables users to extend their device into a desktop-like experience by connecting a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. The name "DeX" is a contraction of "Desktop eXperience".
Samsung first included the DeX feature on Samsung's Galaxy S8 and S8+ smartphones, and has continued to support the feature on all of its latest flagship smartphones, including the Galaxy S9, S10, S20, Note8, Note9 and Note10 series throughout Android Pie.
The Galaxy A90 5G is the first Galaxy A phone with DeX support. It has also been introduced...
There's rotten fish, but is that really worse than maggots? Whale poo doesn't sound good either, but it's served with eggs (which I don't eat anyways, so no harm there).
@Journeyman @Tink there are over 140 questions on MSE with status-review, maybe better consider removing the tag from older questions that aren't relevant anymore?
The idea is also that we can add the tag, no one ever mentioned curating the list to remove those. If you want that, probably write up a post we can tag status-review XD
@ShadowWizardWearingMask They were "two-way" but so many people got stuck inside or hung upsidedown that they padlocked them until they could redesign them.
@ShadowWizardWearingMask The question was promoting a different unit for mass, so I had marked it as spam when reviewing. However, I am awaiting a moderator response.
First of all, the possibility of submitting a question without a review was a bug not a feature and the bug is now gone for good.
There is no harm in having a review process check our questions. Spending just a few extra seconds for another click is nothing compared to the time the community will...

> In medieval times until the early 18th century, ducking was a way used to establish whether a suspect was a witch. The ducking stools were first used for this purpose but ducking was later inflicted without the chair.
> In this instance the subject's right thumb was bound to her left big toe. A rope was tied around the waist of the accused and she was thrown into a river or deep pond. If she floated, it was deemed that she was in league with the devil, rejecting the baptismal water. If she sank, she "was cleared. And dead"
If they didn't they were not witches but dead anyway ...
Cucking stools or ducking stools were chairs formerly used for punishment of disorderly women, scolds (people accused of being troublesome and angry and who habitually chastised, argued and quarrelled with their neighbours) and dishonest tradesmen in England, Scotland, and elsewhere. The cucking-stool was a form of wymen pine, or "women's punishment," as referred to in Langland's Piers Plowman (1378).
They were both instruments of public humiliation and censure primarily for the offense of scolding or back biting and less often for sexual offences like bearing an illegitimate child or prostitution...
@ShadowWizardWearingMask Not really, but not common usage any more.
@DavidPostill true, first time I hear about that word with such a meaning. I did know that witches were also tortured a lot, just didn't know all those gory details. ;)

@πάνταῥεῖ as long as it's a single user/vote it's not that bad.
If you'll notice more than one upvote on spam/off topic question it's a different story.
hmm... that answer is poor, but honest attempt to reply, not sure it deserves to be deleted. Its quality isn't much less than the other answer with negative score. /cc @Sonic

^^^ It's gained a dozen upvotes, I'm fairly happy too. SE should want to fix it, since the click-thrus generate another AD in some cases; it's helpful for spotting dupes, etc.
