Rs 250 million every two weeks. Money that could have been spend on any number of things, from helping the poor survive to upgrading our grid infrastructure.

No, don’t give me bullshit about Red Sea trade. Most of y’all didn’t know a damn thing about it until two days ago.

Currently reading 7 moons and my favourite line so far is, 'Most of Colombo's socialists don't love the poor. They just hate the rich'. Reminds me of so many 'activists' on here :)

Cost of the Kandy house, with brick walls, was going to be almost 37 million. By using earthbag walls, I’ve managed to get the cost down to 17 million. And this is with deep concrete foundations and the works.

Sustainable architecture doesn’t have to be ruinously expensive.

These speeches coming out of Israel are insane. Straight up Third Reich / 1970s Sri Lanka / present day Russia levels of demagoguery.

If it talks like a genocidal maniac, acts like a genocidal maniac, it probably is a genocidal maniac.

For once I woke up early, energized and excited! And I was rewarded with an entire tank’s worth of water coming through the roof and ceiling and onto my head. Workroom’s ruined.

I’m just going to go back to waking up in the afternoon.

I hope all these people making new accounts to talk about the NPP / JVP or RW are at least getting paid for it.
So much ass being kissed. Incredible. Cringeworthy, hilarious, even, but incredible.

Psychologist Martin Seligman & psychotherapist Esther Perel have both been “digitally replicated” by AI chatbots trained on their work.

As POLITICO Magazine reports, such simulations of real people present myriad issues to address, from copyright infringement to consent, and more.

I still don’t understand why citizens need a TIN number. The NIC is already a unique identifier. Presumably the database already exists. Just use that.

My new year's resolution this time is to arrive at a healthier work schedule, with plenty of sleep and leisure to boot. Burning the midnight oil is now counterproductive.
