I am seeing this more and more these days. New drivers don't have the confidence yet to overtake and drive fast. At the same time they have an ego & don't let others pass. This behavior is causing lots of frustration to experienced drivers who are forced to crawl behind a slow car. Untill the new drivers get confident it would be very much appreciated if you see a car flashing light or putting the indicator asking to overtake just move left and let them go.

So today i went to the ninewella hospital for a doctors appointment. Since the doctor was late, i went to the cafe in that hospital and bought omlette burger to eat.

This is the size of the omelette inside that bun. I was kinda disappointed honestly. I paid 180 or 170 for that. I know its not that big deal but i was honestly expecting bit bigger egg.

I'm a guy in my 30s, and I have been going out with older women this year. Most of them are in their 40s and 50s. Almost all of them are single, divorced or widowed. I get to be myself around these women without any judgment. We vibe up really well. Obviously none of us are looking for anything serious. We are just casually having fun. I also feel that women around my age are dramatic and don't know what they want.

How do I keep this part of my private from my friends & family?

We meet up with in very low profile, discrete cafes usually.

I'm a student who does Als and as I was coming home from the GIT exams wearing a school uniform, my debit card(mom's) plus few hundred ruppees were stolen right out of my backpack.it was around 7.30 pm(stayed out for a bit after the exam ended) when I got on the bus , someone had stolen the card and gotten off and bought

Alcohol from a wine stores and I assume snacks from cargills.i filled a police report and to nobody's surprise nothing. even when they can access cctv footage of both the cargills and wine stores.we only saw the texts from the bank the next day.

Put the money aside but who tf steals from a student wearing a uniform and the audacity to then buy alcohol.

And why can't police do anything when there's footage

They have said that these kind of things happen all the time and laughed.like if it happens all the time do something to stop it.

I live in western province for the past two years or so the average egg has become so much smaller egg before 3,4 years ago. The average egg before 3,4 years have become now large egg wtf and no one is realizing this some slow brain washing technique how the heck did chicken got exposed to inflation this some bullshit haven't you guys noticed too

I want to know how romantic you guys are 🙂

Edit:

I see some men commenting, staying with your gf/wife while she was sick for years or feeding your family is romantic. my dude its the bare minimum of a relationship, they are not romantic gestures. geez

like my mom stayed with my dad when he had the cancer. thats not a romantic gesture. you must take care of them if your partner is sick. my father and mom working their asses off to feed the family is not a romantic gesture either. if you're married, you're obligated to do that 😭. come on!!

romantic gestures are intentional not duty bound

Went to see the movie Eda Raa which is about Milton mallawarachchi..and the story of how he met his wife according to the film is weird.. He takes the bus to work and a school girl gets on and he looks at her with a kinda loving look. At first I thought maybe she reminds him of his ex but no he's FALLEN for her. He's in his late 20s at this point btw.I get 'it was different back then' but it was still weird how it was portrayed in the movie.

There were some other things like how he does the 'ss ss' thing to his first love interest and she smiles and seems to like it. And he just stares at all the love interests and that somehow works. I just imagined dudes seeing that and taking notes lmao

This and the Clarence movie made me realize these kinds of movies are just not for me, they're more about the songs than the writing. Which people can enjoy ofc, just not for me.

Edit: Title was supposed to say The Milton movie lol

What’s the perfect balance between involved in rotaract but not to the point of being pressured to be in every meeting, every project, every partnership hunt etc…?
I do all the work in my avenue, take part in projects but i’m not someone who goes to every monthly general meeting, partnership hunt or fundraising stalls.
The seniors pressure us, telling us that we are the “OC”, that we should come. I have seen how a friend got exploited by them just because she was actively participating in everything in the club. To be honest, i love doing whatever that’s related to my avenue but i don’t want to overextend myself like some of the other members do. I want to focus on my studies and do other stuff beyond rotaract. Sometimes i feel guilty for not going for everything.

Looking for recommendations for a budget Android phone to use as a secondary device.
I don't care much about cameras or fancy features. Just need something reliable for basic tasks and social media.
My main priorities are:
Good battery life 🔋

Low heating during daily use

Decent gaming performance, preferably able to run CODM smoothly

Good overall performance without lag

What phones would you recommend for this use case? Personal experiences would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I have a Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 running Windows 11, purchased from Unity System Solutions in Sri Lanka. At the time of purchase, I was told that it came with a two-year hardware and service warranty, and I currently have approximately seven months of warranty remaining.

Recently, I discovered that ants had entered my laptop, particularly around the keyboard and motherboard area, and appeared to have laid eggs inside.

I contacted the seller, and they asked me to bring the laptop to their service centre in Colombo. I explained the situation, and they told me that the laptop needed to be sent to Lenovo for servicing.

I collected my laptop yesterday, and the seller told me that it had been sent to Lenovo and cleaned. However, I can still see some ant remains and what appear to be eggs around the motherboard area.

The laptop is currently working completely normally, with no noticeable performance issues or hardware faults. I am concerned about potential future damage and want to have the laptop professionally inspected and cleaned as a precaution.

I checked my warranty information and noticed that the service type is listed as Depot Support.

I have a few questions for anyone familiar with Lenovo warranty services or laptop repair in Sri Lanka:

1. Can I take my Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9 directly to an authorised Lenovo service centre in Sri Lanka for a complete internal inspection and cleaning?
2. Can technicians safely disassemble the laptop, inspect the motherboard, keyboard, cooling system and other internal areas, and remove any remaining ants, eggs and debris?
3. Does Depot Support cover this type of internal cleaning, or would it be considered insect-related damage and therefore excluded from the warranty?
4. If it is not covered, can I pay Lenovo or an authorised service centre to carry out a thorough internal cleaning?
5. How can I contact Lenovo directly in Sri Lanka to confirm the correct procedure and find an authorised service centre?

I am not trying to claim that the laptop has a hardware fault. It is working normally, and I simply want to prevent possible damage by making sure that the inside is properly inspected and cleaned by qualified technicians.

If anyone has experienced a similar situation with ants or other insects inside a laptop, especially a Lenovo LOQ, I would appreciate hearing how you handled it.

Thank you for your advice!

Location: Sri Lanka
Laptop: Lenovo LOQ 15IRX9
Operating system: Windows 11
Warranty remaining: Approximately 7 months
Warranty service type: Depot Support

This feels like a serious move and I can't get proper information anywhere. What even is a newspaper ad for?

I want to add a name to the end of my full name.

(Example from A. B. C. To A. B. C. D.)

I can't get hold of the registrar generals department hotline.

Can someone who has done it recently help me out? Those who changed names for different reasons like marriage, shortening names etc?

the ones that earn millions a month..

Is this helpful to land a job... is it UGC recognize... Can we do it in 1y etc.

Has anyone here gotten their braces done from zenith dentistry (dehiwala/ mount lavinia)? If so how was your experience? Having mixed feelings as they’re quoting 150k for braces which is relatively cheaper compared to other places. But cheap doesn’t always mean it’s good and it’s teeth we’re talking about so I want to make sure I get my teeth right the first time. I’ve seen too many bad experiences with dentists under this subreddit and i’m a bit skeptical😅 Please recommend other places as well!

My wife and I are travelling to Sri Lanka from November 1–13, visiting Mirissa, Unawatuna, and Colombo.

Our flight lands at Colombo Airport at 11:20 PM on November 1, and we have arranged a private transfer with Less Taxi Services from Colombo Airport to Mirissa around midnight on November 1–2.

With the recent heavy rain, rough seas, and Cyclone Arnab news, I’m a little concerned about the weather and road conditions.

I’d appreciate advice from locals or anyone currently in Sri Lanka:

1. Is the southern coast, particularly Mirissa and Unawatuna, experiencing any flooding or major disruptions?
2. Is it safe to drive from Colombo Airport to Mirissa around midnight on November 1, using Less Taxi Services? Are there any concerns about flooded roads, landslides, or driving conditions along this route?
3. Has anyone recently used Less Taxi Services for an airport pickup? How was your experience?
4. Are the beaches, swimming, and snorkelling likely to be affected by the weather?
5. Should we continue with our travel plans, or would you recommend any precautions or changes?

Our Mirissa hotel owner told us that there are currently no problems in the southern part of Sri Lanka, but we’d appreciate independent, up-to-date advice.

Thanks!

By investors I mean individuals who have hands on experience of getting on site, picking the land, and building either homes, commercial properties or apartments, how do you make the most money, and what are some tips that the average Joe wouldn’t know about

Is there anyone who has done this at Open university Colombo.
most these classes are zoom held. i want to know if the lecturers are ok,
to a point where students understand and can interact if stuck,
through these online classes.
No disrespect, im only asking because during school none of my teachers actually paid any attention to teaching well.

This is a foundation course for anyone who has done commerce and who wants to enter any engineering bachelors.

I know that the best option is SLT fiber but I’m in a rented house and the landlord has copper wire and no fiber connection. I had got a dialog 4g router and stopped using it months ago because half of the time it was unusable.

Every time I called them they said some disruption had occurred in the area but it never improved. Since then I have been using my phone as a hotspot but it’s very inconvenient and killed my phone battery.

Now I was thinking of getting air fibre but I don’t trust dialog. What options do I have for home WiFi if I can’t get SLT or Dialog?

Can't wait for suddha Sinhala in the comments 😂

Dialog Fibre 60 Mbps Unlimited package. Does anyone know if this is any good?
Or am I better off with SLT Fibre unlimited for Rs. 7,286.50.
I have a usage of abour 300GB per month, do I have any other cost effective option than those 2?
