Middle Ground Fallacy: But…but I am being reasonable… sententiaesite.wordpress.com/2017/06/07/mid…

Like how his own comrade illegally encroached on someone else’s property?

Didn't someone complain about having a "tourist only" toilet, saying that it's discrimination? This is why we have those.🫠

@Tikiri_ Regardless I’m with this person, one of the stupidest this this government did was increasing EV duties.

Energy expert Dr. Vidura Ralapanawe has dismissed claims that electric vehicles (EVs) are contributing to Sri Lanka’s power shortages, describing such assertions as “scientifically baseless myths.” Speaking during a recent in-depth interview, Dr. Ralapanawe said the growing narrative blaming EVs for grid strain is not supported by data or energy science. He explained that internal combustion engine vehicles are significantly less efficient compared to EVs, noting that petrol and diesel vehicles lose a large portion of energy through heat and mechanical friction due to their complex engine systems. In contrast, EVs rely on simpler battery and motor systems that retain a higher percentage of energy, making them more efficient even when electricity is generated using fossil fuels. “Even when emissions from coal-powered electricity are considered, EVs remain more energy-efficient. The fuel required for a traditional vehicle to travel 100 kilometres contains enough energy to generate more electricity than an EV needs to travel the same distance,” he said. Dr. Ralapanawe also rejected claims that EV charging adds a 250–300 megawatt burden to Sri Lanka’s power grid. He pointed to historical demand data from 2024 to 2026, which shows a recurring seasonal increase in electricity demand between January and March, driven primarily by increased air conditioning usage during heatwaves. According to him, the approximately 300 MW surge in demand during this period is linked to cooling requirements rather than EV charging. He further stated that even if all EVs in the country were charged simultaneously, the total demand would still remain below the 300 MW figure often cited in public discussions. Dr. Ralapanawe also warned against what he described as fear-based narratives aimed at slowing the adoption of electric vehicles, claiming that certain stakeholders are exaggerating risks to maintain reliance on fossil fuels. He added that advances in EV battery technology now allow users to charge vehicles less frequently and during off-peak hours, further reducing potential strain on the grid. Dr. Ralapanawe said promoting electric vehicles based on scientific evidence would support Sri Lanka’s economic recovery while reducing dependence on imported fuel. (Newswire)

Just saw how the newly built toilets in Colombo bus station has been loitered and not flushed after using. Even though our education is in a high level, we are far behind in a civic level. System change should start from there. 🥹

there’s a great joke that goes something like A judge tells a condemned prisoner, “You will be executed at noon on one day next week, and the execution will be a surprise.” The prisoner reasons: “If I’m still alive by Friday morning, then it has to be Friday, so it wouldn’t be a surprise. Therefore it can’t be Friday. But if it can’t be Friday, then if I’m still alive by Thursday morning, it has to be Thursday, so that wouldn’t be a surprise either. Therefore it can’t be Thursday. And by the same reasoning, it can’t be Wednesday, Tuesday, or Monday.” So the prisoner concludes the execution cannot happen at all. Then the guards come Wednesday, and execute him. He is, in fact, surprised.

Vaishali Rameshbabu has emerged as the sole leader at the FIDE Women's Candidates 2026! After drawing against Anna Muzychuk in the 10th round and Bibisara defeating the other leader Zhu Jiner, Vaishali is now leading with 6/10 points. From an equal endgame, Divya Deshmukh made a huge mistake and went on to lose against Aleksandra Goryachkina. Kateryna Lagno drew against Tan Zhongyi!

Let us all be reminded that the number of Jews that attempted to 'avenge' the deaths of their friends or family by driving a truck full of explosive into an Arab/Muslim Kindergarten (Learing Center) is still ZERO (and is likely to remain ZERO)

Mia Khalifa gloated over the suffering of US soldiers in 2024: “I hope you go over there and get your little brain all scrambled with PTSD” Now she cries because Hezbollah got bombed in Lebanon: “How can my tax dollars do this to my home” You literally pretend to be a Muslim in pornos, Hezbollah would kill you.
