What's a food you wish you ate more often, but it's just too much work to make?

Mine is Albaloo Polo, cherry rice specifically with chicken. it's like Zereshk Polo (barberry rice) but takes even more time to make.

and I like to make it without added sugar (unlike almost every restaurant in Iran) so I can't order it from anywhere.

What's this supernatural creature called in your language?

The night hag is called Bakhtak in Persian.

The night hag is the name given to a supernatural creature, commonly associated with the phenomenon of sleep paralysis. It is a phenomenon in which the sleeper feels the presence of a supernatural, malevolent being which immobilizes the person as if sitting on their chest or the foot of their bed.

What are some crazy stories involving people from your country and foreign celebrities?

There was a young guy from Yasooj who attempted suicide after his father didn't agree to sell his sheep to send him to South Korea so he could ask Han Hye-jin (Soseono from the tv serries Jumong) to marry him.

Jumong was really big in Iran around 17-18 years ago.

I just watched a video of her on Instagram watching her husband (a football player for South Korea's national team) and the video reminded me of this story.

What’s your go-to meal when it’s too hot to actually cook or eat anything heavy?

The most popular one in my country is a cold soup Ab Doogh Khiar (Doogh is an Iranian yogurt drink)

Ab Doogh Khiar contains yogurt, dried roses, mint, cucumbers, onions, walnuts, radishes, raisins, ice and it's usually served with bread.

the other photos are just basic ones with no specific names but they're popular too

Videos with AV1/AVC encoding won't play on Chrome (on my main chrome profile only)

FIXED

videos that use av1/avc encoding like youtube and instagram won't play on my main profile on chrome. it just plays a couple frames maybe like 5 and stops. I can see the buffer feeling up and i can skip forward and see the still image of the video but it won't play.

what I've tried so far that didn't work:

  • disabled the extensions one by one and refreshed the page
  • disabled hardware acceleration and relaunched chrome
  • updated gpu's driver

3900x, 3060ti, 32gb, windows 11

same videos work on chrome on different browser profiles.

tried to disable/re-enable the extensions and it worked. it was the "video speed controller" extension

Looking for any web development / windows programming / data entry work that pays in crypto

before anyone says why crypto? are you trying to avoid taxes? are you a scammer or something?

No, I'm just live in Iran and Iran is under sanctions, our banks aren't connected to rest of the world. I don't have any other way to receive payments from outside the country.

I'm a freelancer, It's been more than 3 months since I made any real money. the economy was terrible before the war, they shut down the internet for about 3 months.

now it's half back the economy is even worse. there are not much projects to do. there are web design projects on Iranian freelance websites for like $15 even for those you won't get the job most of the time, because the competition is high.

I even tried survey sites and those "install an app or a game get x amount of money", the problem with them is they don't work with Iran's IP, and if you turn on the VPN their trackers don't work or you get blocked. so I can't earn money on those.

If you know any ways I can make $10-20 consistantly or any projects that can pay in crypto, please let me know. I'm ready to work full time.
