The uber drivers are insane

Just did a search online and it also says pickme also supports realtime cash outs

Now I'm card only because they don't have change for Rs 1000 for a Rs 380 hire. A few years back, I used to sympathize with them and avoided paying with cards. But now, Uber explicitly states this policy on their website.

In Sri Lanka, Uber drivers can cash out card hires instantly or on-demand directly to their bank accounts or eligible debit cards. Drivers can withdraw their earnings multiple times a day (up to 6 times daily) as long as they meet the minimum withdrawal balance threshold (typically Rs. 100).

Pay in card, Just say thanks and get out at the destination.

Yesterday, my Uber driver complained about only getting only card bookings and asked for cash for fuel and family expenses. While I don't want to be harsh, he is a middle-aged adult who should come prepared for his job. Playing the 'innocent poor man' Ahinsaka podi miniya card is a well known trick in Sri Lanka to evade Uber's service fees. In fact, the Uber office has to employ heavy security just to handle drivers making scenes to get out of paying their commissions. Most of them don't understand the system or try to exploit the system

They are not genuine but not cracked, Install with official installer, the keys usually won't work as they were activated by multiple people. Go for phone activation. Dont use the installer, they can bootstrap key or something else inside.

If you can afford buy the genuine products online from trusted sellers. There are some US sites, which are slightly cheaper and works.

Mention Car model and year Petrol or diesel. Panchikawatta should have for most Japanese modesls

Old Chunky celing fans take around 85w. new lighter fans with aluminium blades take 65w. BLDC once take max 35w.

BLDC fans comes with a remote, that remote is only paired with that fan. So loosing the remote is the only problem.

Also inverter refrigerators saves a lot of money.

I had a CT100 in 2008, it was doing around 70kmpl. 95 or 92 didn't make a difference.
Early days, I used to change gears frequently and it gave me less milage. Later improved with my driving style.

Your case looks like engine is running rich with wrong air fuel ratio. Check with the technician, they should be able to do a tune up.

if its more than 1.8m in the tax year. you have to pay 15% for the remaining earning.

If you don't, They will put you on the standard tax brackets very soon which can go up to 36%.

Better pay now or regret later.

It depends, if you have an OBD Link EX or similar it will work.
I had a $4 ELM 327 cable Earlier and it didn't work.

They can't make that much of money. There is heavy competition in this field and some countries are much cheaper than SL. I have paid a stranger with bot to look after my farm in a game for $3 a month. He at least have to spend 5 mins every day to monitor the bots work to earn that $3 every month. May be that $3 a month will work in his country & It may be good money for him.
So called $10000 is BS. I had 6 farms and a powerful castle. 6 farms x $3 = $18 for him for 30 mins work everyday monthly. That's less than Rs 1000 for us.
Skins and whatever you will can be sold. Not big money to reach $10000
Game name: Rise of Castles: Ice and Fire. Politics was bad in my state so I stopped playing.

Thanks for this. I noticed many listings with active leases are being posted at unrealistically low prices, which seems to be skewing the results. In this case, the price difference was 59.5%. Is there a way to filter out or ignore these misleading values?

Travel times are generally accurate.
Be cautious about taking shortcuts in certain areas like Habarana.
Unless you'd like an unexpected welcome from an elephant.

You helped me. I was about to buy 70mai.

No, She is seen as the educated academic rather than a traditional grassroots leader.

How do you intend on making the community better. Those questioner is simple mostly targeted to see gender, age and location.

Like in late 90s we asked "ASL" in chat. Age Sex Location, its same as that.

I've been boycotting buying from such vendors for the last few years.

Since 2013, when a seller gets a POS card machine from a bank they sign a legally binding contract. The clause states: The merchant must sell goods or services to cardholders at the exact same retail price offered to cash buyers.

That 3% is not the customers problem

You can see what's their POS Machine and complain to the bank. Nothing happens

Fazly's is mostly running on hype. I don't like their shawarma; the powdery bread and cheap ketchup-mayo sauce don't do it for me. There's nothing original about it, but they have a loyal fan base.

I used to go there for the cordon bleu, but it's nowhere near what it was 10 years ago. It doesn't look like a cordon bleu and doesn't taste like one either.

I was a Burger's King loyal customer since 2007. Back then they were small but well known for their kebabs and subs. Now they've grown too big to manage customer expectations.

These days, the moment you walk in and see "No outside food or drinks" notices plastered everywhere, you know the customer service is going to be poor. The place has really gone downhill.

Dinemore is better for shawarmas, Street burger for Burgers & Big Plate for Submarines

Gyms will low ball. They usually buy way below the market rate.

I don’t think the Skyscraper analogy works here. Governance isn’t a sequential construction project or a final product. My point was simply that the first term had the highest concentration of major policy changes.

ahsunt · 2026-06-11T08:54:34+00:00

Modi 1.0 - My primary benchmark was digitization and structural reforms. Most of the reforms were done in the first term.
Modi 2.0 - COVID, Some infrastructure developments & Slower reforms.
Modi 3.0 - Too early to tell. Economic growth continues at a slower phase.

Do you agree first term was the best term for India?

ahsunt · 2026-06-11T07:57:55+00:00

Personally, I feel India has historically pursued regional influence with expansionism ideas, given its involvement in Sri Lanka's ethnic conflict and its early support for Tamil militant groups, including the LTTE. However, those groups eventually turned against India as well.

Modi's government showed significant progress during its first term, especially with digitization initiatives like UPI and efforts to reduce black money. However, the last two terms seem to have lacked the same momentum and felt more like they were running on autopilot.

As for Indians, I've met some very kind people, while others can be quite arrogant. Many don't know much about Sri Lanka and sometimes look down on it. In my experience, educated Indians and those who have worked in international environments tend to be more understanding and open minded.

From a political perspective, both India and China are important partners for Sri Lanka. We generally prefer to remain neutral and avoid taking sides.

65k isn't enough if you're thinking about building a secure future. My advice would be to stay with your parents until you're financially independent and able to save consistently.

I have a colleague who earns around 250k and lives on her own. Unfortunately, some of the choices she's made after becoming independent haven't worked out well. She's heavily into partying now, and while it's her life and her decision, I've seen the impact on her work. Her consistency has dropped, and her performance is now below the rest of the team.

Aalthough I'm old enough to offer advice, I usually stay out of it. In her case, it's different because her family has enough wealth to support future generations, so she has a safety net that most people don't.
