No part of my post is arrogantly telling you how to run your own country.

Where presumably it will be perfectly OK, putting the boot on the other foot so to speak, to discuss making Scotland part of England.

Oh, I didn't realise the only kilts in existence were the ones you'd personally inspected.

The first kilt I wore (UK pipe band) was an Irish saffron kilt - just a single colour.

We've been invaded over and over again. If we can keep the foreigners fighting each other then that means they won't invade us. It's just self-preservation.

As long as it Just Writes(TM) I don't care. I want to pick it up, and I want to write. I don't want to try writing only to find it's dried up and I have to scribble on some other bit of paper before it comes back to life. Now OK if I've left the lid off then that's my bad, but if I haven't then it should just flipping work.

Your police need guns because everyone has guns. Remove guns from the population and the police won't need them either. Our police would need guns too if the population were armed.

Take the guns off the population then you can disarm the cops too, because they won't need them.

I'm not being shortsighted, I'm trying to show you a different way that is proven to work.

Depends where you're going. Anywhere first world with a robust democracy that invites opposition and criticism will be safe. Heck in the UK we've even got people who openly hate our way of life and want to destroy it.

But if you're going to one of the less tolerant places where opposing the incumbent can get you in serious trouble, like Russia, North Korea, Iran, or the USA, probably best take a burner phone with some basic stuff on it that can't possibly be interpreted as any kind of negativity towards the delicate leader and leave your main one switched off somewhere safe at home. In fact unless you enjoy risk it's probably best to avoid places like that until they get some proper freedoms in place.

One use is in URL identifiers. If my account number is 47, for example, I could reasonably guess that accounts 1-46 exist and potentially look at other customers' data.

But if it uses a UUID instead then it's a lot harder to do that.
