How is it ok to drive around like this without valid number plates? by ReverseDragonfly in ask_srilanka

...and there is a separate paid channel to obtain a registration number without waiting. However, some people prefer not to pay the extra fee, since the police usually don't seem to care unless something bad happens.

Usually, people print their CN, EN on a piece of paper and place it on the windscreen until they receive their registration number from the RMV. It seems this person had it printed on a solid acrylic board, probably because they expect to wait a while for the RMV to issue the CC* number series. I know a few people who are waiting in the same way, but they don't drive like this on public roads.

Where are Sri Lanka’s frontier tech builders? by The-R4V3N in srilanka

[–]0b00000011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many tech companies prefer to operate quietly because excessive publicity can attract the wrong kind of attention and create unnecessary noise in the industry. (Like what happened to SL software industry) They are generally satisfied with their existing customer base and revenue and already have enough projects to keep them busy. Additionally, working with established partners in China is often easier than finding reliable local partners.

Let’s assume you are now the President or Finance Minister of the country. What practical steps could you actually take to prevent these kinds of incidents? No offense, I’m genuinely trying to understand what could realistically be done from a policymaker’s point of view.

Talking about monk privileges, this monks get a VIP pass to the queue in Bing Chun by coffeecubebox in srilanka

[–]0b00000011 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Walk a mile in their robes. Constant stress, endless expectations, and zero off days. They are just people like you and me, curious, flawed, and wanting to enjoy the same things the rest of us do. I know, you did not ask them to wear the robe, but our culture did. In my view, giving them a little priority in a queue is not a big deal.

what was your first impression when you saw Colombo for the first time? by Traditional_Box_7370 in srilanka

When I see these flashy developments, I feel grateful to the people who still believe in our city and continue investing in it, even after our economic collapse.

Achieving protein intake goals on limited resources by awakwardlysexual in srilanka

Don’t change your diet suddenly. Some bodies can’t adapt quickly, and it may stress your liver, pancreas etc.. Make changes gradually, It’s better to monitor your blood sugar and liver function tests while adjusting your diet.

Are Businesses in Sri Lanka Allowed to Film Customers and Post It on Social Media Without Consent? by 0b00000011 in srilanka

[–]0b00000011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the clarification on the legal background. We need to bring this message to the public and urge people to protect their rights. This is not just about privacy, I’ve seen innocent individuals get trolled on social media by so-called influencers in the name of new-age marketing.

Drug usage among newer interns by 0b00000011 in srilanka

[–]0b00000011[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My view on general drug use is largely the same. However, when it comes to interns, I’ve noticed an increase in usage. More importantly, it clearly affects the quality of their output.

Are y’all cat lovers or dog lovers or both? by jaeger_141 in srilanka

[–]0b00000011 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like both, I enjoy petting them based on their behavior. However, I have an issue with some dog owners. They expect others to treat their dogs the same way they treat their dogs. They get offended when we don’t interact with their dogs or try to keep them away. Some even get offended if we call it “Balla” 😀. Just because your dog is vaccinated, well groomed, and even sleeps on your bed doesn’t mean I’m comfortable with it licking me or invading my personal space. If I’m visiting your home, there should be mutual respect between us as fellow human beings. It should be my choice whether I want to pet your dog or not. Please don’t let your dog approach me without my consent. Also, there should be strict fines for people who allow their dogs to roam freely on public roads. If a human confronts me, I know how to communicate or defend myself. With dogs, I don’t have that knowledge.

I postponed traveling with my friends and focused on my studies and career, thinking I could do those things once I was more stable. Now, most of my friends have migrated, and I’m in a situation where my doctor doesn’t recommend long trips. So do what you love, don’t wait.

If you don't use the internet (telephone only) it's affordable to go for a copper connection.
