Why are LASERs and railguns better than biological weapons? At least the more efficient a biological weapon is the less it hurts. Not an option while literally burning someone with a LASER or pushing a piece of metal through their body.
(Of course biological weapons are bad, but I don't get this preference of yours)
> At least the more efficient a biological weapon is the less it hurts.
Maybe in some ideal scifi world.
In this one “biological weapons” are just disesases modified and packaged for warfighting. Their efficiency is measured in how little of the substance you need to kill or disable someone, and also in how reliably it kills/disables.
A headshot kills you instantly. From biolgocial weapons the ones which kill you (because do note, that is not always the aim) will torture you for hours but more likely for days before you succumb. Even longer if you get medical help. That is of course if you are lucky enough and the attack hasn’t overwhelmed the medical system where you are. Which of course they are designed to do.
Biological weapons can unleash hell on earth. They are difficult to aim with and they do not discriminate between combatants and non-combatants.
Where did you get the notion that they “hurt less”?
Biological weapons are less ethical because the chance for collateral damage is far higher. Weapons like railguns and lasers may be destructive, but they are far more precise than biological agents- the main feature of the biological weapon is its infectious nature. Even if a laser missed an intended target and harms a bystander, or strikes an innocent due to bad intel, that is still a contained tragedy.
Biological weapons can mutate or spread in unforeseen ways to infect victims other than initial targets, and a virus or bacterium does not destinguish between combatants and non-combatants. A biological weapon can cause suffering on a much larger scale than the initial deployment of the weapon, which is why they are widely banned.
Not true at all! My (EU) tax form has a special field just for this case - income from out-of-EU employment... (and because of tax residency rules that applies only if I live there)
And there definitely is a legal framework - this has very exact rules specified by the bilateral tax/trade agreements, every combination of western countries has them, and many non-western countries too.
Then come to Czechia and your problems are solved. There the test is simple - are you using your own equipment or do you have multiple clients or are you your own boss in terms of working hours and arrangements or could your contract end at any time or are you an exporter? Then you're clearly a contractor. Only one of these rules needs to apply.
Indeed - and yet I'd think it's not close at all. I bet there is going to be the same level of variation as compared to relative differences between unrelated humans.
The differences between unrelated newborns would be both genetic & environmental, compared to the identical genetics and nearly identical environments of the twins.
From which point all would begin to diverge further.
How do you "just Google" how often someone doesn't pay their debts? Credit rating is a data broker, sure - but they're brokering access to private data that shouldn't be accessible by itself, and they're adding validation/verification on top. You can't just Google that.
That only covers the case where the debt was large and delinquent enough to justify a lawsuit. Failing to make a few car lease payments or blowing off financed smartphone obligations probably won't show up on public records but are of interest to creditors.
So I tried to Google myself - I had some problems with my debts in the past - and found nothing... And it's not like I'd just let it be if I found anything, I'd go for the GDPR takedown immediately.
What you need is a tool like LexusNexus for doing oppo research on yourself. Google isnt what any pro will use when looking up osint about you (some osint is hidden or behind legal/le gates, which tools like LN or Westlaw etc help do the background deals for access to)
The exact same thing was happening to a Volvo I've driven around 5 years ago (I have never chosen Volvo again since then because of it). I don't think they're going to help now.
