Sure, but I'm not sure writing "R360 fails again" warrants putting a journalist on a vaguely threatening list.

Nucifora comes from Greek slang for "carrying walnuts". The motivation is clear - no nuts, no interest

Not sure why it's a bad thing to report on big name players telling them to bog off. How many will see this and think "yeah... Not for me"?

As a sapper, do you know what these bridges were called?

Any time you think it might work, remember the photos of all those people wearing sanitary pads on their earlobes.

Rugby match archiving is a serious unsolved problem. The footage exists, but it's completely inaccessible to the average person.

Bollocks. Going out to a shop is a chore that interferes with the other things I want to do - like spending time with friends and family. Last thing I bought on Amazon was a roll of 3d printer filament to make a decoration for a friend's 3 yo daughter. I spent the time saved showing her designs.

Ah, so you didn't bother to actually find out anything about it.

It's an identify document like any of the ones you mentioned. In practical terms, it's an ID card.

Not true. See, for example, the one I just mentioned.

That's a case for *voluntary* ID, issued at taxpayer expense on request. It makes no case whatsoever for compulsory ID.

See, for example, the proof of age card in Australia (although it's not free)

You haven't even put Wales, Australia, and Fiji in the same group. What kind of draw is this?
