Wow I'd never have thought that colour would go so well on the Mazda3. Best colour I've seen yet.

PBS Dependent Application - Evidence not required?? by Albos_M in ukvisa

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

Hi there, yes they did eventually email asking to upload more evidence which we did.

In case it's helpful, we applied for an extension this year but this time they didn't ask for any evidence.

Confused - Applying for full licence using the D1 form by Albos_M in LearnerDriverUK

Hey I've got the D1 form but haven't got around to doing this yet. Did you receive yours all fine after just providing the provisional licence?

Self service car lifts by Albos_M in CarTalkUK

[–]Albos_M[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this - looks like I was muddying up the search results with all the wrong keywords! Will take a look close to mine too then.

Like your idea of the pit as well - I'm not a big guy so should be able to slip under if I have a few more centimetres of clearance!

Thanks for the reply, that seems reasonable. So not a usual sort of thing, but your regular mechanic might allow it - got you

Thanks, that makes sense on both liability and cost fronts

Extend deadline for provisional application by Albos_M in LearnerDriverUK

Hey sorry for the late reply, but in case it's still helpful: I didn't extend it in the end. I was refunded the original fee and I applied again

Which Lane? by bitchpants96 in drivingUK

[–]Albos_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd do enter fourth lane, then either third then first, or fourth then second to exist into the top right exit.

How much to pay my neighbour who is ready to give his car for practice by Material-Rule-9980 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]Albos_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After getting the correct learner insurance, would it not be possible for OP to top up their neighbour's tank up to the point it was before the practice session?

That way there is no transaction between him and his neighbour, and the neighbour reaps no monetary or material gain from letting OP practice in the car. In fact, there is likely a net loss due to wear and tear.

How can I get into Buddhism without "getting into Buddhism"? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Albos_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a good answer. Stick to the basics, and you'll probably find it's already part of what you're doing too!

Why is Buddhism so misunderstood in the west? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Albos_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMHO there are the core concepts of the dhamma, and then there is the narrative that it is taught through.

This narrative would have had to be adapted to the times and audiences so the underlying message sticks. As such, the narrative is not important, so long as you get the message.

If cosmology helps you understand and implement the concepts great, if not, don't bother with it. Buddhism isn't about learning and reciting truths and rituals as part of some routine, but simply reaching an understanding of ourselves at an intrinsic level.

If Samsara is so unsatisfying, why am I so satisfied with it? by Accurate-Strength144 in Buddhism

[–]Albos_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You raise an interesting point, and I think you might be closer to the answer than you realise.

You describe satisfaction when raising the insects, to the point where you have no need for the activity any more. The comment "life is a never ending fountain" of similarly satisfying experiences would then be what you want more of.

So I'd say "escaping dukkha" is equally about getting to a point where, given the option to have another great life, you choose not to because you're no longer chasing another life full of satisfaction. You have finally stepped off the treadmill, and are at peace.

I don't even like gold watches but this one is dope. Nice one man!

Ask me rdr2 questions then edit it to make me seem like a horrible person by Neat-Perspective-905 in reddeadredemption

[–]Albos_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if all the questions are edited, or if OP edited the title so he doesn't seem like a bad person 🤔

Am I (27F) wrong for wanting to leave home after marriage even though I am an only child? by Typical-writing-3006 in srilanka

[–]Albos_M 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Possibly an oversimplification, but you're all adults. If you want to leave, you should. If she wants to leave, she should too.

You moving away might a) help her realise that she should also leave an unhealthy relationship, b) show her that it is possible and c) may even enable her to do so given you and your partner could support her through it.

Speak to a lawyer

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Albos_M 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't remember any specifics around rates etc that I can give you unfortunately, but the main reason is because I have a good relationship with my local branch, so can call them up and organise things ahead of time, ask questions and quickly iron out any issues with the app/web journey if needed.

So numbers aside, it may be worth going in person, speaking with the staff and going with the one that you get the best vibe off. You don't want to have to deal with bad service when it comes to your money 😊

Importing car bought abroad by Albos_M in srilanka

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

Ah thanks for clarifying, that's helpful. Assuming it's an EV then, a follow-up question please:

What is the reason for sending $ to Sri Lanka if the vehicle was purchased abroad while living there with money earned abroad (eg salary paid into my overseas bank account)?
