  • Well regular soldiers also get hired to do that, the big difference is the employer, as a regular soldier you’re employed by the state, as a mercenary by a private entity.

    In war they are more or less treated the same under the law, they’re counted as regular combatants.

    Mercenary business is always at least a little shady, since they often get used for shady stuff.








  • That’s not entirely true, cancelling sound waves can also be done on a large scale. I’ve seen it on festivals or other open air venues, where they stack two rows of subwoofers behind each other in a precisely calculated distance to cancel out the bass notes towards the back of the stage, meaning walking in front of the subs you could hear it normally, walking behind them and the bass notes where very faint and clearly coming as a bounce back from walls or the like. So they effectively cancelled out the frequencies towards the back.

    But that doesn’t help OP since that works way better on lower frequencies, with higher notes you’ll need the precise localization you’re talking about. So the high pitched noises from a hard drive probably won’t work.









  • …yes, educating your children on how to have safer sex is a good way to prevent the possible pregnancy you clutched your pearls about in your first comment.

    Or you could go the puritanical way, not educating, just condemning, pushing the teens to have unsafe sex in an unsafe environment, too scared to trust you and ending up in the scenario you yourself created the perfect conditions for - an unwanted teen pregnancy.
