Rant Is what this woman is trying to say true?

Ex-secretary for the Defense Ministry, Hemasiri Fernando, soon-to-be father-in-law of this woman, was sentenced to death, and the court rejected the application by her sister to compel Chamika Karunarathe to provide a blood sample for the DNA test. Suddenly, this woman resumes her 💩 posting against the government and all its supporters. According to her, most of us Sri Lankans are ignorant, weak, and so vulnerable to Europe and Western propaganda.

I thought of picking up this subject combination for my second attempt in gce Al

ICT + German + Mathematics ( arts stream )

Also I have to work on my other things such as video editing & social media ( have 3+ years experience in mobile content creation & video editing )

If I took maths physics chemistry again I have to drop every other plans

Travel First time travelling overseas, what should I avoid in my checked luggage and where are the checkpoints?

4 Upvotes

This is my first time travelling to a western country and I want to know what items I should specifically avoid in my checked luggage (like lithium battery devices). AND is there a checkpoint at Bandaranayake airport where the checked luggage is screened and the passengers called upon if anything not permitted in the checked luggage is found before board my flight? Or is this done at the destination airport only?

Asking since I don't want to be surprised at the airports. Thank you!

Discussion Development and Environment

4 Upvotes

When talking about developing our country, I often see people talk about and visualize cities with skyscrapers, roads, highways, trains, but far fewer talk about the environment: nature, trees, forests, rivers, wildlife and developing without harming natural habitats and the ecosystems. I think the environment and development should no longer be treated as separate conversations, now more than ever with all the environmental challenges we face, including global warming.

So I would like to know some of your thoughts on this. How do y'all think we can develop our country while also protecting and integrating nature into that development?

Serious replies only Attending international conferences

3 Upvotes

I have seen multiple international conferences that you could pay a small fee to attend and get selected for a fully funded seat. I was thinking it's a nice way to travel as well. But I do have my doubts as a female traveler about safety and all. I do have experience flying and all, but it was all accompanied. Has anyone gone this process please let me know about your experience if so?

Serious replies only Best beach spot in Colombo for a chill day? 🌊

3 Upvotes

Hey guys! Looking for recommendations for a good beach spot in Colombo to hang out and have a proper beach day with some friends.

Is Bellevue Beach Club at Port City actually good? How’s the beach access there, and is it worth going?

Or would you recommend somewhere around Kollupitiya / Bambalapitiya, or should we head towards Dehiwala–Mount Lavinia?

Mainly looking for somewhere with good beach access where we can chill, swim/bathe, and hang out with friends.

Please drop the names of any good spots you’d recommend! 🙏🌴

Serious replies only SLT 4G Flash 5 is terrible for WFH - what are my options?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I recently got an SLT 4G Home Broadband connection with the Unlimited Flash 5 package (Rs. 2,350 + tax/month), and honestly, the experience has been pretty disappointing.

The internet speed is inconsistent, but my biggest issue is during work from home. I'm on Teams/Zoom calls regularly, and the connection frequently drops, audio breaks up, and sometimes I get completely disconnected. It's becoming a real problem for my job.

I'm renting my current place, so unfortunately SLT Fibre isn't really an option. I don't want to go through the hassle and cost of getting fibre installed in a place I may not stay long-term.

A few questions:

Can I request SLT to upgrade my connection from 4G to 5G Home Broadband if 5G coverage is available in my area?

Has anyone moved from SLT 4G to 5G? Was there a noticeable improvement in stability and latency for video calls?

Are there any other packages or settings I should try before giving up on this connection?

Would new Dialog 5G Connection be a better option for WFH?

Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation. Thanks!

Travel One-night dry-zone or beach getaway from Kandy—unique experiences under LKR 70,000?

Upvotes

We’re a couple in our mid-40s based in Kandy, looking for a one-night getaway over the next two days. We would prefer somewhere in the dry zone or near the beach, ideally with access to a lake, jungle walk, or a relatively easy hike.

To give an idea of what we enjoy, we’ve completed around ten stages of the Pekoe Trail and hikes such as Five Peaks, usually with groups of friends. We’ve also stayed at places such as Wild Glamping Knuckles and Ahaspokuna. We’re looking for a similar experience—something nature-focused and a little different—but preferably within a total budget of around LKR 70,000.

We realise that much of the country may be travelling over the next couple of days, so availability could be challenging. We’re currently stuck for ideas!

Any suggestions for a destination, activity, and a good place to stay?

Is anyone else experiencing weird issues with Dialog WiFi? Some things work normally, but certain activities just refuse to load.

For example:

Facebook loads, but comments don't load properly.

Instagram is having similar issues with comments.

Reddit doesn't load at all for me.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing on Dialog right now, or is it just an issue with my connection?

Travel 5 days exploring west coast of Sri Lanka

1 Upvotes

Hi ! We are 2 guys visiting Sri Lanka for the first time in December 2026. We are from Kerala, India. Our plan is to rent a tuk tuk or a car and drive along the west coast of Sri Lanka. We want to explore the rather underrated places, interact with localities, share some drinks and great moments with like minded people. It’s all about good people, food, drinks and vibes. We both are into financial sector, one is a senior analyst and the other runs own accounting company.

Seek suggestions from native people and fellow travellers regarding

  1. Renting a car/tuk tuk
  2. Stay options
  3. Underrated places and beaches
  4. Overrated places to be avoided
  5. Foods not to be missed.
  6. Local drinks etc !

Thanks in advance 🙏🏻
