Ren said that they shouldn't leave those responsibilities in the hands of the server people. Although she acknowledged that she had reacted with a lot of anger after dying, she then pointed out that, in her opinion, the team had beta testers, plenty of staff, and people who knew all the mechanics, including the empty spots and the behavior of the mobs. She added that it had been difficult for her to understand why there were empty spaces in some parts of the same building and not in others, and stated that levitation had gotten some players killed. She also said that certain mobs, like creepers, required the help of another player, which, according to her, ended up placing the workload on the same people from the server. #Videojuegos #Gaming #ServidorGaming (translated)

Gustavo Petro questioned the political leadership of Santa Marta and stated that there was already a financed and fully studied project, ready to begin construction, for a desalination plant intended for 500,000 people. He criticized Abelardo for proposing to bring water by ship from Cartagena. Petro maintained that Cartagena was still struggling to capture water from the Dique canal and bring it to its bay, possibly to the Sinú river, to first supply municipal aqueducts and irrigation areas. He also warned that, during a drought, the Magdalena river would dry up and Cartagena would not be able to send drinking water from that river to Santa Marta. #Política #Agua #SantaMarta (translated)

Gustavo Petro criticized a senator's attitude towards Guillermo Alfonso Jaramillo during a police promotion event to which, he said, the minister had been invited. He also stated that the senator had asked Jaramillo to leave the Senate chamber, despite Petro's belief that he should have been awarded the Cruz de Boyacá, a distinction he claimed to have granted him. Petro attributed improvements in citizens' perceptions of the Police to his government and said that 17,000 patrol officers had been promoted to subinspectors, that their salaries had been increased, and that officers linked to alias Pitufo had been removed from the institution. He added that Jaramillo had pushed for improvements in healthcare for police officers and their families and contributed to building the hospital in southern Bogotá. He claimed that Abelardo had returned the Police's medications to the Char clan. The president maintained that during his government, thefts and domestic violence had decreased and linked this reduction to lower poverty and hunger rates and an increase in the minimum vital wage. He also stated that improvement in economic conditions strengthened families. Petro asked when police and farmers had been seen uprooting coca crops on thousands of hectares planted during Iván Duque's government. He said that trust between the two groups was key to taking Colombia out of drug trafficking. Finally, he accused Abelardo of handing 16 key positions in different branches of the Government to people from his own office to facilitate the massive return of goods seized through asset forfeiture. Petro argued that this situation suggested the construction of a "mafia state" capable of unleashing another Colombian holocaust. #PolíticaColombiana #DerechosHumanos #Progreso (translated)

The author stated that the manufacturing industry and construction grew in August. According to him, the Industrial Production Index for Manufacturing (IPI) increased by 1.9% month-on-month in the seasonally adjusted series, and six of its nine categories recorded increases. He highlighted the increases in other equipment, devices, and instruments (+9.8%); furniture and other manufacturing industries (+4.3%); petroleum refining, chemicals, rubber, and plastics (+3.6%); and motor vehicles and other transportation equipment (+2.4%). He also pointed out that the industry accumulated a decline of 2.7% in the first eight months of 2026, a period that included July, when, as he wrote, a combination of transitory shocks broadly affected activity. Regarding construction, he indicated that the ISAC rose by 0.4% month-on-month in August and accumulated a growth of 0.8% in the first eight months of the year compared to the same period in 2025. #Industria #Construcción #CrecimientoEconómico (translated)
Jesús Fernández-Villaverde pointed out that the Community of Madrid went from 1.27 homes per household in 1995 to a peak of 1.31 in 2002 and to 1.11 in 2026. According to his figures, during that period the real price per square meter rose from 2,273 to 4,069 euros. He attributed the drop in the ratio to both the growth of the Madrid population—from 5.1 million to 7.2 million—and the reduction in the average size of households, from 3.1 to 2.6 people. The author argued that smaller households also increased the demand for housing: even with the 1995 population, Madrid would today need about 20% more homes. He cited Castilla y León, where the real price per square meter remained at the 1995 level and households averaged 2.2 people, as an example of similar family evolution. Fernández-Villaverde indicated that the price per square meter reached 4,453 euros in 2007, when there were 1.24 homes per household, and he argued that the boom was due to cheap credit and speculation, not excessive construction. Between 2002 and 2008, he claimed, Madrid added about 400,000 households and only about 310,000 homes. He also described both the 4,453 euro price from 2007 and the 2,569 euro price from 2012 as temporarily distorted. In his view, measures that only affected prices, including the two decrees from the previous week, did not address the limitation of supply. He suggested that Spain had to choose between competing for the existing homes or betting on building more. #Vivienda #Madrid #PreciosInmobiliarios (translated)
