Alex reported that a colleague bought Velux windows, a heat pump, drywall, and screed in Poland for the renovation of his house because the prices in Germany were too high for him. The Velux windows cost about half there; even the product description was in German. Alex asked why identical products were significantly more expensive in this country and wrote that the savings from shopping in the neighboring country raised questions about what was going wrong in Germany. He believed that if this development continued, even a working person here would soon be unable to afford anything. #Bauprojekte #PreiseVergleichen #Hausbau (translated)

The CNMC asks the Government to relax the regulation of data centers in Spain because some of the requirements of the draft royal decree are considered excessively rigid and could negatively affect investments in the sector. #CentrosDeDatos #RegulaciónEnergética #InversionesEnergéticas (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that the fiscal cost corresponded to public spending and not to the taxes that financed it. He asserted that if the Government reduced spending, it would need to collect less and then it could be debated which taxes to lower. He defended the RIGI because, he said, it had a significant impact on production, and he referred to Mirrlees' optimal taxation theory to argue that it was beneficial to reduce taxes where elasticity was greater. Sturzenegger described part of public spending as useless and corrupt and claimed that reducing it would allow for a reallocation of resources towards production. He also anticipated that President Javier Milei would push for further spending cuts and new tax reductions. #Economía #Impuestos #GastoPúblico (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that, in the first free practice session of the Singapore Grand Prix, the balance on a dry lap was still difficult to assess, also because the track was at 50°C. He noted very small gaps: in the second sector, the top three were separated by 0.017 seconds. Ferrari, McLaren, and Mercedes, according to him, seemed to have a good baseline setup. Albano reported that Mercedes looked more comfortable with George Russell, both in terms of times and feelings, although the English driver had some rigidity issues. Andrea Kimi Antonelli, with the new package, had good overall balance but seemed to have little front grip; using soft tires in qualifying could have made the problem less evident, as he had run with hard and medium tires in practice. The Ferrari SF-26 seemed competitive in terms of pace as well, with Lewis Hamilton slightly heavier but with contained differences. Albano found Charles Leclerc's feedback very positive both in the last lap and in the pace simulations, adding that it would be important to understand how much the rivals would increase power in qualifying. According to Albano, McLaren was showing the expected performance, without the misleading impression of soft tires seen in Malaysia, and seemed effective under braking. Red Bull, on the other hand, was difficult to assess because it was engaged in testing and still far off; in his opinion, it could use the Sprint as a practice session and reveal its potential later. He finally predicted a competitive and entertaining qualifying session. #Formula1 #SingaporeGP #Motorsport (translated)

Federico Albano wrote that in the comparison between Russell and Antonelli, the Englishman always took the last corner at a significantly higher speed. Even in Kimi's best lap at that point, Russell had a 10 km/h advantage. Albano wondered whether it was due to Russell's stiffness or Kimi's lack of front-end grip. #SingaporeGP https://t.co/ovYLxAdsbc #Formula1 #Motorsport #SingaporeGP (translated)

Juan Jesus stated that Mbappé's surroundings would delay the renewal because the player believed that the Real Madrid project was heading towards failure. According to what he wrote, Mbappé had arrived thinking he was joining the most demanding club in history, but he had found a lack of discipline and rigor, something that, according to the author, he had not seen even in PSG. He also said that the Frenchman was outraged by the lack of form and disinterest of some teammates after defeats, and that he was demanding changes in the squad and stricter measures from Florentino Pérez. He added that Mbappé would not sign a long-term contract without a more rigorous framework. #Mbappé #RealMadrid #Fútbol (translated)

The decree on voluntary exit from the energy account for photovoltaic systems over 20 kilowatts, which entails costly renovations and strict rules for producers wishing to change conditions, will come into effect and the GSE will publish the operational rules by October 29; however, doubts remain about the actual economic convenience of the new options offered. #Fotovoltaico #Bollette #EnergiaRinnovabile (translated)

The President's Office reported that Javier Milei and the executive director of Glencore, Gary Nagle, announced in Paris the development of the Agua Rica Project in Catamarca, after the Evaluation Committee approved its incorporation into the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI). According to the agency, the estimated total investment would be USD 4 billion, including USD 771 million in the first two years. The Office indicated that the project would have an average production of 200,000 tons of copper annually, entirely destined for international markets, with estimated exports of USD 2.167 billion per year. It also noted that construction could generate up to 3,500 jobs and that the operation would require 1,250 direct positions and 3,750 indirect ones. The agency stated that the works would begin in November 2027 and that the operation is expected to start in October 2031. #Inversión #Minería #DesarrolloEconómico (translated)

Julian, my pastor, stated that Javier Milei traveled to France along with governors to seek investments in Argentina and that he returned with more than 29 billion dollars committed.

The usual critiques are already starting, so it's worthwhile to put on the table how meteorological science works in an episode like this. The numerical models showed a clear scenario of irregular but high-impact storms. In this configuration, the key is not that it rains everywhere equally, but the danger where storms form and barely move: torrential intensities (>90 mm/1h) and critical accumulations (>180 mm/12h). We don't work with a crystal ball; we work with supercomputers that solve millions of mathematical equations to project the future atmosphere. Why is it so complex to specify the exact municipality? Unlike a winter storm with continuous and organized fronts, the physics of these storms is much more complex. They depend on how winds collide on a microscale, humidity, and relief over just a few kilometers. They do not follow a rigid pattern: they move and regenerate where that flow collision occurs, and modeling that to the millimeter is a huge challenge. Science always has room for improvement, of course. But before blaming meteorologists and @AEMET_Esp, it's worth remembering the rigor and constant vigilance behind issuing warnings that save lives. #Meteorología #Ciencia #Clima (translated)

Toyota secured its RIGI and will invest US$1.341 billion in Zárate to manufacture electric cars. Caputo assured that it is the largest investment in the history of the Argentine automotive industry. The project aims to export about 70% of the production (approximately US$1.280 billion per year) and to generate more than 3,600 jobs in construction and more than 2,600 in operations. The final investment decision still needs to be approved by the company. Toyota's last major bet in the country was in 2013, when it announced US$800 million for the Hilux. #Toyota #Inversión #AutosEléctricos (translated)

Valeri, el Baluarte Atronador Capitán del Batallón de Misiones Especiales #GenshinImpact #Valeri La Real Armería es un enorme complejo de investigación, diseño y producción dentro de Glupov. Como la principal institución de investigación de Snezhnaya, ha desarrollado múltiples tecnologías de vanguardia y muchas de las armas que forman los cimientos del sector militar de la nación nevada. Los secretos y valiosos recursos que oculta en su interior son incontables. Con tal de proteger la Real Armería y a su personal, las tropas de élite del Primer Regimiento de Bombarderos pasaron a formar el Batallón de Misiones Especiales, que sirve como la guardia dedicada de la institución. El comandante Valeri es el líder de dicha unidad. Valeri posee un historial particularmente brillante. Lideró a sus tropas en la erradicación de seis concentraciones de monstruos relacionadas con perturbaciones en las líneas ley, aplastó a tres terribles bandas de volkodlak y eliminó a más del ochenta por ciento de los fieros monstruos quiméricos al oeste de Snezhnogrado... Además, organiza los deberes del batallón con precisión y sin falta, día tras día y año tras año... y todo esto sin contar siquiera con un ayudante personal. Con un experto tanto en combate como en gestión al mando de su guardia, los especialistas de la Real Armería pueden volcarse por completo en la investigación y la producción, sabiéndose en buenas manos. Ciertamente, desde que el Batallón de Misiones Especiales llegó al cargo, el comandante Valeri y sus tropas han neutralizado a más de noventa amenazas de todo tipo, incluyendo un grupo de bandidos que planeaban robar los secretos de la Real Armería y unos criminales que pretendían raptar a los investigadores. En los últimos años, sin embargo, los observadores militares han notado algo sorprendente: el comandante Valeri se ha convertido en un visitante frecuente del Teatro Korolevski y el Restaurante Podvorye, entre otros establecimientos de entretenimiento... El comandante Valeri se niega a hacer ningún comentario sobre cualquier especulación, pues continúa dejando que su impecable gestión del tiempo y sus perfectas dotes de organización en el trabajo hablen por sí mismas. Por supuesto, las personas no son máquinas. Uno no puede esperar que funcionen como un reloj, siguiendo un rígido horario en cada momento del día. Pero un plan sólido es una buena garantía. Cuando lo inesperado altera el programa, este otorga el espacio para adaptarse y la confianza necesaria para ello. Siempre hay tareas que requieren planes de contingencia y fechas límites que no pueden ser ignoradas. Y siempre debe haber alguien que soporte la presión, mantenga el ojo puesto en el plan y prevenga retrasos y accidentes. #GenshinImpact #Valeri #Snezhnaya
