Destiny Are Nothing Manacles Worthless In Year 2

For those who might not be familiar, the Nothing Manacles are made for the Warlock’s Voidwalker subclass and focus on its Scatter Grenades. With the Nothing Manacles equipped, Scatter Grenades gain increased tracking and players get an extra grenade charge. However, in the transition to Year 2, Bungie nerfed the Scatter Grenade as part of their December weapon rebalancing. The patch notes say, “Slightly turned down the tracking on the scatter grenade,” but after using them, many players report that the tracking has been all but removed....

Destiny Xur Location And Exotic Items For March 31St

A key component of that experience has been Xur, the exotic vendor that sets up shop in the Tower (or sometimes The Reef) for the weekend. However, with new reveals about the Destiny 2 story, specifically the destruction of the Tower, questions have arisen as to whether Xur will have a place in Bungie’s sequel. For now, though, the focus is on the present, and Xur is back and better than ever....

This week, players can find Xur in the Crucible area of the Tower, next to the Crucible Handler.

Destiny 2 30Th Anniversary Pack S Bosses Have Hilarious Names

Another example is that one of Xur’s iconic lines from his Exotic vendor moments is that he says “his will is not his own,” but in Dares of Eternity he uses the same line to describe the Taken’s actions. There is a twofold meaning to this, considering that during Destiny 2’s new activity, Xur appears to take orders from Starhorse to the point that he has to translate even “goodnight, Xur” out loud, much for the giggles of all players....

Delta Is Still The Dominant Covid Variant Heading Into Winter Fauci Says

Biden administration officials were asked during a White House COVID briefing on Wednesday if there are any other strains of the virus on the horizon and if they had concerns going into the colder months. “Right now, the Delta variant still overwhelmingly dominates the isolates in our country, with greater than 99 percent of them,” Fauci responded. Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, said officials are keeping a watchful eye for any variant that emerges in the world and conduct studies to determine whether they evade monoclonal antibodies or antibodies that are induced by vaccination....

Delta Sparks Backlash For Calling Covid Ordinary Seasonal Virus

In a statement on Monday, the airline said masks are now optional for customers and employees inside U.S. airports, on domestic flights and most international flights. Delta’s statement added that the airline was “relieved to see the U.S. mask mandate lift to facilitate global travel as COVID-19 has transitioned to an ordinary seasonal virus.” That characterization prompted an outcry on Twitter, with several experts on infectious diseases blasting it as misinformation and others vowing to never fly with Delta again....

In a joint letter on Tuesday, House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-SC) and Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) urged Abbott to rescind the order requiring Texas counties to close all but one ballot drop-off location, and said the move “appears to be a last-ditch effort to suppress Texans’ ability to vote.” Clyburn chairs the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis, while Lofgren chairs the Committee on House Administration....

Democrats Backdoor Attempt To Cancel Student Loan Debt Opinion

Every Democrat seeking their party’s presidential nomination—including Joe Biden—promoted some form of student loan debt relief, ranging from Biden’s $10,000 proposal to Bernie Sanders’ call for total debt cancellation. However, President Biden and congressional Democrats have thus far refused to make debt cancellation a priority, despite its popularity among left-leaning voters. Some might be tempted to chalk up Democrats’ decision to avoid continuing debate over the issue to the unpopularity of debt cancellation among many key voter demographics....

Democrats Are Making A Mistake Focusing On Jan. 6 Opinion

Let me be clear: those who broke into the Capitol, attacked police and threatened members of Congress last year should be tried and brought strictly to justice. Further, Congress should seriously investigate what happened and how we can prevent it from ever happening again. But that’s not what is happening on Capitol Hill this week. In the world of big-government socialist Democrats (that is, nearly every elected Democrat in Washington) the riot last Jan....

Democrats Propose Giving Thousands In Hero Pay Insurance Bonuses As Fight Over Cash Heats Up In Senate

In a new report on racial disparities in the effects of COVID-19, Democrats laid out a multi-pronged approach to combatting the disease and its disproportionate impacts on communities of color. Central to that approach is a concept known as hazard pay, additional compensation given to workers who perform risky duties, such as medical professionals and first responders. Democrats proposed a bill to create a Heroes Fund that provides front-line workers with a $25,000 bonus, equivalent to a $13-per-hour pay bump....
