You need to hook something up to a network, and another device would have similar risks.
Setting up a sandboxed VPC or auditing traffic is beyond the means of the average TV owner.

Given that energy prices are negative during this period (because of surplus solar which needs to be drained into a load to keep the grid balanced) – this is effectively consumers providing "free" balancing-services to the grid.
With sufficient take-up and consumers funding the cost of battery storage, this could replace an amount of commercial balancing services and reduce the overall cost of grid-management.
My cat enjoys catnip, but I have to be careful after she eats some – she gets excited and wants to play, but she forgets her usual "care and attention" with her claws, and can be a bit "scratchy". Not deliberately – she just forgets she's got razor-sharp needles attached to every limb.
It's probably worth extending the study to explore cat behaviour, to cover all bases/risks/eventualities.
Also: repels mosquitoes and attracts cats? TAKE MY MONEY! I'd choose this over Deet any day!
Because the people who live there overwhelmingly (98%–99%) vote in favour of remaining British.

Whilst I don't disagree, Spain has similar questions to answer about Ceuta and Melilla.

And if the Standards Committee find sufficient wrong-doing to suspend an MP for 10 days or more, the suspension automatically triggers a recall-petition.
If the recall-petition is signed by 10% or more of voters in that MP's constituency, this triggers a by-election.
So there's a reasonable possibility that once the investigation concludes, there will be another by-election in Clacton.
It's incredibly unusual – I've not encountered that in any destination I've travelled to (including Egypt).
They'll usually make a photocopy of the passport during check-in, then immediately return it.
"I'm not sure how much of the story is actually true"
Some stories – like the one published here by FT – are overly simplistic. For a good, accurate, scientific history of the Vasa, the Vasa Museum's site is extremely detailed (and also separates supposition and apocryphal tales from established science).

Selective enforcement allows those in power to corruptly select who to prosecute. Even though many (perhaps most) "have-nots" will "get away with it", selective enforcement disproportionately impacts the "have-nots" as they have no leverage.

The FT article is an extremely superficial description of the events, which does a disservice to the depth and span of archaeological research and discovery which has taken place since the Vasa's discovery.
If anyone's visiting Stockholm, the Vasa museum is well worth a visit.
For those further afield, the museum's website offers a wealth of details about its conception, history, discovery, and our contemporary understanding of the wreck.

Passport confiscation is a common sign of modern slavery.
"he was lured in with the false promise of a well-paid job in the UK"
"The gang confiscated the passports of all their victims"
It depends on the rationale. If the intent is self-reliance in the event of a trade war (or worse) with China, then even a year's buffer isn't enough to bootstrap home manufacturing from scratch.
It needs to be in-service and available before any serious conflict.
It's from a fictional drama (The Newsroom) but this a great riposte to "freedom in the US".
You're going to say that we're the only ones in the world that has freedom?
Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom.
Wages for which role?
UK – Newly Qualified Paramedics (Band 5): £28,407 – £34,581. USA - $38,000 to $48,000: £28,323 – £35,777
Sure, there's a bunch of different tax treatments and work-benefits between the countries, but I don't think it's the cost-of-labour that is making the USA more expensive.

In general, the original title is preferred, and "How…" is acceptable.
In general, mercury amalgam fillings are being phased out, mostly because modern alternatives are superior.
The risk to the individual is actually really low, but cremation and general waste disposal introduces mercury as a pollutant to the environment.

It's a common and well-known consequence of hip replacements.
This paper from 2015 describes a similar case (quickly identified via X-ray by the deformation of the metal structure)
"It has been well established in the literature that revision of a fractured ceramic total hip replacement with metallic components can result in metallosis. Several authors have reported symptomatic cobalt toxicity after revision of a failed ceramic head component to a metal-on-polyethylene articulation"
"health officials in Michigan reported that as of July 4, 572 cases [of cyclosporiasis] have been reported in the state"Gendering an AI agent in this way is problematic and embeds inappropriate stereotypes.

Gemini-Mona gives discounts, free food and whole events to almost anyone who asks, doesn’t push to grow the business even when sales are slow, orders far more than the café can sell, and at the same time runs out of the ingredients actually needed.

Most school/education networks will have proxies and firewalls which limit access to "sensitive" destinations.
Avoiding triggering a profanity filter is a reasonable and sensible approach to publishing, for an educational site which wouldn't want to exclude part of their target audience.

The comparison isn't like-for-like: the article is describing sit-down restaurants where diners are likely to spend an hour or more in the restaurant.
A $5 ramen from a chain restaurant in Japan might be viewed as the equivalent of a UK McDonalds meal deal at £5.50 (UK prices generally translate 1 USD into 1 GBP, so it is more expensive in the UK, primarily accounted for by taxes).
