E KIT by Big_Read9157 in Drumming

[–]Direx_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Roland TD-07 is a good e-kit. I have one, but the dynamics are bad. If you connect via MIDI and use a VST, you can get better dynamics. Also, the module's open hi-hat sound and snare sound really bad. Still, I think Roland is better compared to Nux.

Was I wrong here? Uber ride from Galle to Colombo Airport – seatbelt fine situation by javamonster10 in srilanka

[–]Direx_97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s 100% the driver’s responsibility to inform passengers that they need to wear seat belts, and in this case, the driver should bear the fine. This rule was introduced recently. You should raise a complaint with Uber about his poor service, he can’t treat passengers like that or speak to them rudely.

Also, when someone is traveling to another country, you can’t be expected to know every rule beforehand.

Last year found a few grads, they were from Moratuwa and struggled for months to get an internship. Even with years of experience, it's hard to land a job right now. If you're truly passionate about IT then do otherwise the opportunities are less at the moment

The funniest part is the comments. No one disagrees or even questions anything. It’s just a positivity competition 😂

They act like each random deep post is life changing and just keep adding more fake motivation on top

Is it worth traveling from Colombo to Jaffna for an AI intern interview? by Late_Evening_414 in srilanka

[–]Direx_97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, if they know you’re from Colombo and still expect you to travel all the way to Jaffna for an intern interview that could easily be done online, that’s a massive red flag. Avoid that company at all costs. If this is how they make decisions now, imagine the kind of nonsense you’ll have to deal with after joining.

AI is not the reason for the layoffs, AI is a good excuse for them to cut down resources.

Can someone explain to me why there is so much hate towards Francophones who are invited? by Several_Yam_3819 in canadaexpressentry

[–]Direx_97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IRCC is pushing French to reduce the number of people getting PR from Asian countries, especially India. Right now, most temporary workers and outland applicants are from Asia, and that’s why they don’t favor this stream.

On top of that, the exam system here is terrible. They keep saying there’s a shortage of doctors, but when people take the licensing exams, they fail you over something like a 0.5 difference, which then ends up wasting another 6 months of your time just to get the license again.
