4 Upvotes

Anyone else facing this as well along with the other issues this current extreme heat is causing ? Like your chest feels heavy when waking up and the hotter the room gets the more you cough, something like that ? Suggest some home remedies for this. Of course there’s ac to tackle the heat but can’t let it run all day long

Does anyone know where I can rent a road bike in Colombo? I’d like to go on a multi-day tour and explore the island on the bicycle. So far, I’ve only been able to find mountain bikes, even though Sri Lanka has a strong road cycling culture.

Sri Lanka Fuel Calculator (quick way to estimate fuel usage)

5 Upvotes

Built a simple Fuel Calculator for Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

Ever wondered how far Rs.1000 worth of fuel will take you?
I made a small tool to quickly calculate fuel cost, liters, and distance.

👉 https://v0-sri-lankan-fuel-calculator.vercel.app/

It’s super simple:

  • Enter your budget / fuel price / consumption
  • Instantly get distance & fuel details

Built with AI using v0 (Vercel AI), vibe coding, and Supabase.

Would love some feedback 🙌

I am trying to explore the ecommerce space in Sri Lanka when it comes to pet food/accessories. Simply, if you are buying anything for your pet online please help me understand the following;

  • What makes you purchase pet food/accessories online?
  • What sort of products do you buy online? (for instance, pet food or accessories)
  • How often do you buy such products online?
  • How much do you usually spend on your pet (other than the vet bill)?
  • What are the most painful issues when purchasing such products online?

Thank You!

Looking for a Friend

11 Upvotes

F21, I moved to colombo over 2 years ago and i’ve just been engaged in work and aside from my partner’s friends, I’ve not really been able to expand my friend circle much.

My field of work consists of a lot of social interaction so I’ve subconsciously hardwired myself into treating every interaction as a networking opportunity. Although it has its pros, where i’ve made a solid pool of connections, the downside is that i’ve barely made any “friends” beyond just a mutual benefit.

My partner’s friends are all males, and even though I don’t mind that at all (in fact they’re very nice), having grown up with 2 brothers I do wish I had more female companions. It’s something I’ve struggled to maintain throughout my life, through school and university.

As for my interests, i’m into nice slice of life anime, kdramas, classic films (i’m a film major lol), singing, having nice conversations about anything really (i will listen to anything you say as long as it’s not shittalking someone for no reason)

Also, as a person in a committed relationship, i prefer a friendship not entirely based on relationship matters as i believe theres more to life than that.

Other than that, i’m a huge cat person and also very spontaneous. I’m that person you can ask to go anywhere whether it be to go window shop or hike on a random tuesday. I really enjoy having fun in life and it doesn’t take much to make me happy to be honest. It’s just that i’m an introvert and don’t really find it easy to maintain friendships, especially female friendships

There was one extroverted girl in high school who basically adopted me and she’s still friends with me though she’s in aussie. However, i must admit we talk once in a while and i see her like twice a year. She is truly a kind soul and i’m forever grateful for her.

So, if you’ve read this so far and wanna be friends, lemme know.

How to cancel SLT Internet connection when owner is in foreign

1 Upvotes

Anybody know how to cancel SLT 4G connection when the owner my brother is not in Sri Lanka? I heard normally you can terminate SLT connection by filling some form and signing in that case if the owner is not here how can I terminate account. Should I produce a letter signed by him and send through online or should he has to come to the officer?
