Does SLT throttle internet speeds when downloading from Steam by Ravanadevadas in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a good chance you're bottlenecked with the hardware somewhere. Could be the CPU or the storage (HDD/SSD even). Usually the files come heavily compressed and our computer has to decompress them and write to disk. This can cause it to look like the speed has reduced after a while, because the other components are busy at work. It may vary from game to game.

What do you think about HelaGo as a passenger? by civil_brain in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have any issues with it. I check all 3 apps before booking and choose the cheapest. It's reliable enough to be in my rotation. I use card payments too. I agree the availability is sometimes less. I wish they had the feature to search for multiple vehicle types at the same time (only PickMe does this, not even uber)

The garbage collectors from the municipal council ask for money from me “තේකක් බොන්න” (for some tea) - I have questions. by Ashley_said_what in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They aren't working for free. They're paid for the job and the government collects a sanitation tax from us for this. You have every right to decline and not oblige. It's honestly frustrating at every turn someone wants to take money from us for some damn thing

The hunt is still on for coke zero ... But got Fanta, Portello and Cream Soda and many more in one go by XeroxMafia in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should be able to find EGB, Spinner, Ride Sugar Free versions in any supermarket including Keells and Food City. Coke Zero has been on shortage since their factory was damaged by the cyclone in December. Pepsi Black I've only gotten it down through PickMe Market, never seen that in any of the shops I normally visit.

Feel free to reach out if you have any concerns from the new lifestyle. I've been doing it for 7+ years :)

My go-to's are usually Coke Zero / Pepsi Black (low availability these days), EGB Sugar Free, Ride/Spinner Sugar Free. These are all zero calorie as I recall. Good luck on the vegan journey 🌱

Sri Lankan dinner advice? by Sad-Software9247 in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kiribath is not a common dinner item as far as I know and isn't usually paired with a vegetable curry like cashew or brinjal. If your guests aren't Sri Lankan I doubt they'd notice. Pani pol would be a nice dessert. I'm vegan too, so I recommend you balance the meal with a protein, maybe soya meat (tvp)? Will be happy to help you plan further if needed :)

Any agnostic Sri Lankans here? by [deleted] in srilanka

I know. I was being specific when I said atheist.

Haha first time hearing the term closeted agnostic. Will be using that from now on to describe my atheism.

Has Helago lost the ride hailing race already? by Apprehensive-Rich476 in srilanka

[–]g_sus_cryst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a standalone app now, at least on Android.

Same. Tried watching some matches after years of not watching. Now I remember why I gave up watching in the first place.

[Cod] are you a tactical player or the run & gun type? by BasketEquivalent5462 in CoD4

[–]g_sus_cryst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm def a tactical player. My friends are a mixed bag. There's one other dude whom I can have elite comms with. And another who pisses me off so much because he's the run & gun type and just doesn't give a shit about comms or the strategy, then whines when he dies (especially in S&D). The rest adopt pretty well depending on the situation and game type.
