Weapon

I am enjoying the game.

Weapon-wise, I was like, this starting sword's maybe not great.

And then once I got the lance, I was like, okay, this is kind of good.

And then I got the greatsword, I'm like, never mind, this whips.

I mean, there is really an epistemic question here.

You sit in the European Parliament and you have 70 deputies voting for a war against Russia at Armament, as if...

We have no intelligence.

I'm totally convinced that the BND also knows that this war is lost.

[instrumental music plays] I'm Shane Nylund, and my co-host is Blake Musser, and these stories you're about to hear are from Weapons Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Marines, 1st Marine Division, about the events surrounding, and directly from the mouths of the people who were in Ramadi 2004.

[instrumental music plays] All right, you wanna introduce yourself?

I'm Kirk Morris, um, father of PFC Jeffrey Morris, who served with, uh, 2/4, uh, Marine Corps.

I remember his, uh, um, some of the stuff on boot camp, some of the...

I don't know if any of you guys went to boot camp with him.

I know some of the, some of the guys at Weapons did.

Mm-hmm.

Um, I know Neumeyer did.

Oh, man.

Well, Weapons was a big one.

We got them all in.

They're, I think, pretty cool.

Yeah, and that's, I would say, probably the only con of playing on Guided is that you can feel that way when they do walk you through a lot of those Easter eggs.

The only thing, or the only thing, one of the things that was exciting, though, every time is when you would get through the steps of building the Wonder Weapons.

which I felt the wonder weapons from all the maps were really exciting.

I liked them.

Definitely play it.

But I understand why people just chose not to play it right off rip.

And on top of the, you know, the maps, the next thing is like, Weapons the movement like the movement was a big topic because we went from Omni movement to Omni movement and a double bounce wall bounce and You and I like this we like this moving what I? Still wouldn't consider this advanced movement because advanced movement to me is fast jet packs dashing back and forth and boosting and But to other people, this is advanced movement because you get the double jump.

You can fly around everywhere.

He is also the author of Mineral War, China's Quest for Weapons of Mineral Destruction, a book that argues we have moved out of an era of competition and cooperation and into an era of conflict and that most people have no idea how exposed they are.

Today, we're going to talk about what that shift means for a manufacturer, how a monopoly turns into a weapon, why this dependency is so hard to see, a market failure hiding inside the supply chain, and what operators should be doing before that deadline arrives.

Thomas, welcome to US Manufacturing Today.

In the Pinnacle Ops we have one of the rotating Onslaught maps, with this week being Midtown.

Nothing new in the Gambit node this week, but in the Vanguard Alerts tab found in the Seasonal Hub we should have the Warden of Nothing as the featured Grandmaster, with the Watcher McCall its Submachine Gun as the featured Weapon.

Over on the Lawless Frontier we have the Contested Territories which rotate daily, between Mars, Europa and Venus.

With the Fire and Ice exotic mission rotating between having an Arc, Solar or Voidburn modifier.

On Europa this week, Praxis the Technocrat will be the Empire Hunt, Cadmus Ridge will be the Eclipse Zone and the Exo Challenge will be Safeguard.

Daes of Eternity Expert difficulty rounds are Hive, Vex and Vallister Arc.

The Scatterhorn Armour Set and the Perfectus Armour Set will be available in Daes of Eternity with Weapon Set 2.

Scathelock Extraordinary Rendition Brass Attacks Threaded Needle Code Duelo Imperial Needle Far Future Honor's Edge Distant Terminus, Interference 6, Shepherd's Watch and Annual Skate.

They just are not there.

And what's really interesting is you see these, um, circles in the dirt that are perfectly geometric, geometrically round circles with a diameter of about 22 feet, and those are evidence of, uh, beam weapons.

Now, there was also a 60-foot hole in one of the streets that, uh, bordered the World Trade Center buildings, and, uh, Judy Wood said, "How did that hole get there?" I mean, it wasn't there [laughs] in the morning, uh, of 9/11, but after the, the, these things happened, there was a 60-f-foot hole.

Nobody was digging.

You could see through holes right through the side of the car.

There was no engine.

Now, what process would make hundreds of car engines disappear? I don't know, but I believe that iron is a major part of the HAARP system or these exotic beam weapons because I've studied, um, other parts of HAARP.

I've done research on it.
