GPUs and memory go in things that aren’t PCs, too.

The goal isn’t to keep your data, it’s to make it look like you gave the police your real code and just didn’t have anything interesting on your phone.

Oil has an outsized impact on how inflation is measured, so prices not growing faster than inflation when oil prices are high still leaves lots of room for them to grow rapidly. As well as that, for most people, things going up in price is already a problem whether or not inflation is higher, especially when inflation’s so far above the target rate of 2%. If it was just a short blip of inflation being above 2%, then it wouldn’t be so bad, but because it was really high for a while, lots of people already burned through any buffer they had.

Off the top of my head, I’m pretty sure I read it in New Scientist years ago. With some googling, I’ve found lots of people making the same claim in various comment sections, but not anything coming down one way or the other from anywhere especially reputable. I’ve also found some people on a soap-making forum saying that you don’t need preservatives if you’ve made the soap yourself and ensured it’s still alkaline after all the fats have saponified (which won’t necessarily be the case for store-bought soap as they often have extra fats so they moisturise skin a bit).

Most liquid soaps are pretty nutritious for microbes and don’t contain enough preservatives to stop them growing if they’re diluted, so this is probably not a great idea if you’re not buying specific concentrated soap that’s intended to be diluted.

It’s much more common for British school children to want rid of school uniforms than it is for schoolchildren in the huge part of the world without them to want to be required to wear them. Clothing-based bullying is overblown as a hypothetical problem. Also, uniforms are the more expensive option for patents as they need to get their children regular clothes whether or not they need to also get them uniform. There’s also some evidence that places with school uniform produce adults much more likely to buy branded clothes, so if there’s a genuine causal link there, uniforms end up the more expensive option for adults, too.

You cannot stop people from being attracted to minors. Making something illegal doesn’t magically remove feelings, nor does it magically prevent people from doing it. The threat of prison has never stopped prisoners.

There’s a decent amount if evidence that it’s at least partially a fetish rather than a sexuality, so people are more likely to become paedophiles if they’re exposed to things that make them associate children with sex (including being assaulted as a child), and their attraction to children becomes stronger the more they’re exposed (so people who download some CSAM are more likely to want to download more and more likely to escalate to doing things in real life).
