@Jamz5251 We don't have a traffic congestion problem. We have an indisciplined driving problem and an inconsiderate people problem.
If people don't park in no parking zones, stick to lanes, avoid u-turns across 4 lanes, if buses stop in bus stops etc. we will have no traffic congestion.

@r_evarts You should try both against your skin tone. I was never a fan of gold/rose gold watches until I wore one on a whim. It ended up matching my skin tone perfectly and out of all my watches, it gets the most compliments by far.

@aruni_t @nuzlyhameem @ZainulMahas I remember the drama. I was part of the UL legal team at the time. The main issue was that the LON-CMB flight is governed by EU regulations (EC 261/2004). Denied boarding for confirmed passengers carries large penalties for airlines, including consequential damages.

Only 27 GWh ? New class of ignorance .

Assuming 72 LKR a unit for diesel : 27 ×1000×1000×72 = 1,944,000,000, per month !!!

Sink that in : Close to 2 billion LKR even assuming a modest 72 lkr a unit for diesel(last years price ) ..

‘Sri Lankan governments constantly speak about attracting foreign investment. But if someone arrived with a billion dollars to invest, where exactly in Sri Lanka could they invest and obtain a reasonable return?’

-Sri Lanka must stop fearing investment - my front page article in today's Daily Mirror.

@Dilanka25 2 two rupee coins. You may be able to get an additional one rupee coin if you negotiate well.

@NewsWireLK We should make sure to recover all our plundered artifacts from the Dutch and British museums. Otherwise our own museums will soon run out of valuable items for the thieves at home.

@erangatennakoon Not great. There are much better pizza options available. But they are comparatively cheap, so you could argue value for money.

The Soviet whaling fleet killed 180,000 whales between 1948 and 1973, delivering rotten carcasses that nobody wanted to eat. Soviet citizens had zero demand for whale meat. The ships hunted anyway, fulfilling quotas handed down from central planners who counted tons of dead whale as economic output.

This was bureaucratic box-checking that nearly drove multiple whale species to extinction. Soviet whalers targeted endangered right whales and humpbacks specifically because they were larger, helping them hit tonnage targets faster. The meat rotted on deck during long voyages back to port, where officials dutifully recorded the numbers and sent reports to Moscow declaring another successful harvest.

Central planners measured success in tons harvested, not consumer satisfaction or long-term sustainability. Factory managers got promoted for exceeding whale quotas, regardless of whether anyone actually wanted whale meat (they didn't). The feedback mechanism that normally connects production to human needs had been severed entirely. When bureaucrats replace market prices with administrative targets, you get mass slaughter with zero purpose.

You still see this today every time politicians promise to "create jobs" in industries that lose money year after year. When government agencies measure their success by dollars spent rather than problems solved. When university administrators chase enrollment numbers instead of student outcomes.

Remove the profit motive and price signals, and you get 180,000 dead whales rotting in the sun while commissars celebrate meeting their targets. You don't get rational planning.

Socialism is fundamentally destructive to the environment and inevitably leads to ecological disasters.

@chef_john1 Hell nah!

@Only_OneNB @Nam_kafi_hai @grok More like the "Keeping Things Safe for Future Generations House". If any of the "stolen" artifacts were still in my country, they would have been stolen, looted, damaged or destroyed.

@ForzenStur Under the current global fuel crisis, I have no problem with a fuel price increase. What is lacking is transparency. Why is it so difficult to show a cost breakdown to justify the price hike? That will put an end to all the unnecessary excuses and price comparisons.

@V2Recoil @SethFromColombo Probably named after William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, who was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The city of Melbourne is also named after him.

@pearl_minna @nimilamalee @sulorammohan @Jamz5251 @SL_PoliceMedia AFAIK Sri Lanka does not have criminal defamation laws anymore. It was repealed by the Penal Code (Amendment) Act No. 12 of 2002).

@Appu42069 @Rishi_BM @WrongLK @anuradisanayake But we haven't had a local alternative available for weeks.

[Sean Henricus @HenricusSean]

@PasinduSenanay7 Genuine question - then who will be bearing the costs? Will the coal supplier cover the entirety, including the cost of supplementary diesel and any additional maintenance/repair costs for Lakvijaya?

[Sean Henricus @HenricusSean]

@PasinduSenanay7 This is peak Ranil.

[Sean Henricus @HenricusSean]

@Tikiri_ Simple solution. It's how other countries fixed the problem.

[Sean Henricus @HenricusSean]

@DrBukkabwoi Transport doesn't consider the cost of vehicle ownership - only fuel costs and the ride-share/public transport alternative.
