An international team of researchers, led by Spanish scientist Jorge Hernández-Bernal, has unraveled the mystery of the 'impossible cloud' of 1,800 kilometers on Mars, revealing a rare physical process that challenges the traditional rules of meteorology. #Marte #Ciencia #Nubes (translated)

Un científico español explica la 'nube imposible' de 1.800 kilómetros de Marte

The author wrote that a standalone bungalow from the 1980s with a full basement and 800 square meters of land had initially been offered for 680,000 euros in his street and remained online for one to two years. The most recent asking price was 500,000 euros. A young family with children would have had to extensively renovate and expand the house, which would have incurred an additional cost of around 300,000 euros. With a total expenditure of 800,000 euros, he believed the purchase was neither market-oriented nor affordable. He therefore told his wife that it was unlikely such a family would move in. A few weeks ago, the house was sold to a childless couple in their early 50s who only wanted to renovate and not remodel. The author suggested that the market for single-family homes is still being supported by such examples, but the trend is clearly heading downward. He also mentioned older individuals or people who had inherited as possible buyers for the house. #Immobilienmarkt #Hausverkauf #Einfamilienhaus (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that a tweet from Flor Carignano about DNU 70/23 showed, in his opinion, that Kirchnerism was against the benefits that the norm had granted to Argentines. He described it as a force protecting the "elite" and claimed that its proposals would lead to stagnation and poverty. In defending the decree, Sturzenegger said that after the repeal of the Rental Law, four times more apartments were being published and that prices had dropped by more than 30% in real terms. He also stated that, since the DNU, the prices of medications had fallen by 20% in real terms; domestic tickets by 51%; and tourist packages by 40%. He added that in 2025 there were 33 million passengers and that international connections from cities in the interior increased by 70%. Regarding foreign trade, he attributed part of the 63% drop in appliance prices and the 43% drop in textiles to the changes in the decree. He also said that more than 750,000 satellite internet connections allowed access for almost 3 million people in the interior, and that tourism reforms had increased the number of agencies by almost 40% and employment in the sector by more than 10%. Sturzenegger pointed out that some labor and land provisions had been taken to Congress, while others had been challenged in court. He stated that the DNU had removed trade restrictions, reduced paperwork, and allowed contracts in the chosen currency, among other changes. He concluded that the debate about the decree should be kept in mind in the elections of the following year. #DNU70 #Kirchnerismo #Argentina (translated)

Andreas Stalidis argued that 808 significant violations of the Prespa Agreement had been recorded by the authorities of Northern Macedonia, while in practice, he said, there were many more. He cited examples such as the country's president having sworn in as president of "Macedonia" and that both she and the prime minister had issued dozens of statements under that title. Stalidis also referred to a photo of the president of the "Macedonian Academy" and the consul in Canada, whom he said appeared to be dancing with the Vergina flag in front of a map of "Greater Macedonia" that included Greek territories. He added that the violations had been highlighted for years through questions in Europe, a bill proposal in the Parliament, and public interventions, without, in his opinion, any substantial mobilization. Referring to an official protest by the Greek embassy to the authorities of Northern Macedonia after a banner with the Vergina flag and an irredentist map was displayed at a basketball game, Stalidis said that the intervention was correct, but questioned why it was done so late and if it was related to the elections. He called on the government to abolish the Prespa Agreement and to bring the bill proposal to the Plenary, which, he mentioned, had been submitted and remained in the Parliament for 21 months. #ΣυμφωνίαΠρεσπών #Μακεδονία #Ελλάδα (translated)

The union warns that the Croatian police face a serious staffing crisis due to the departure of police officers from service, low salaries, overload, and poor working conditions, while it is estimated that between 600 and 800 officers leave annually. #policija #odlazak #plaće (translated)

Richard Schmitt criticized that ORF referred to the AfD as "far-right" in its morning news at 6:30 AM without explaining or providing evidence. He accused the broadcaster of having a leftist orientation and claimed that everything to the right of Marx is classified as far-right there. Schmitt demanded either neutral reporting or the privatization of the broadcaster. Since he believed that neutral reporting was no longer attainable, he advocated for privatization and said that leftist activists would then have to raise 800 million euros themselves to maintain their propaganda offerings. He also urged the AfD to file a lawsuit. #Sonntag #Medienkritik #AfD (translated)

Marc Friedrich wrote that France is bankrupt, characterized by unrest, and has a state quota of 57 percent. At the same time, he believes the country needs more and more taxes and sources of revenue. In the finance committee of the National Assembly, an exit tax on cryptocurrencies has been decided: Those leaving the country with more than 800,000 euros in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies will have to pay; coins on exchanges will also be affected. Starting from January 1, 2027, exchanging into stablecoins will also be considered a taxable sale. The proposal will go into the budget debate on October 13. Friedrich warned that first money will be devalued, then assets will be taxed that people use to escape from this money, and finally the escape itself will be taxed. He wrote that the planned tax is part of creeping capital controls; France is just the beginning, and Germany is closely watching the development. He described Bitcoin as freedom rather than a speculative object and wrote that the state wants to control it for this reason. He advised diversifying assets and also thinking across different countries and legal systems. #Frankreich #Bitcoin #Steuern (translated)

Jones Manoel explained that he used to respond to the messages received on Instagram, which averaged between 800 to 1,000 per day. According to him, since October 3rd, the average had exceeded 8,000 daily messages and, since Sunday, his account had gained more than 300,000 followers. He stated that although he had been elected as a deputy, he would only take office in February and was no longer counting on a team to assist him. He mentioned that the team was funded by donations and resources from the PSOL's electoral fund. Manoel also reported that he had not had a day of rest since the first round and that he was dedicated to the campaign for Lula's victory. He claimed that since the beginning of September, he had not been able to sleep six hours a day. According to him, he could not reorganize his response to the messages at that moment, but he would continue responding and could only plan how to do so after the second round. He asked for patience and understanding and said he was doing his best, at his physical limit. #Deputado #Campanha #Lula (translated)

During a week of high school protests in France, more than 200 students were injured, 24 investigations were opened by the IGPN for police violence, and 6,800 people were arrested, eliciting strong criticism from the United Nations regarding the authorities' management of the situation. #RépressionPolicière #Lycéens #ViolencePolicière (translated)

The author stated that the student movement resulted in 8,000 police custody cases in 15 days, as many as in a year of Yellow Vests protests. He said he saw frightened and crying young girls at the Amiens police station, as well as Amjad, who was calling for calm during the general assemblies and was soon to appear in court. He attributed this situation to a choice made by the government. https://t.co/X6cnneCPs8 #Lycéens #Gouvernement #Justice #FR (translated)

Mickpl wrote that in less than three years, Wykop shrank from a portal with over 100,000 active users to a service that perhaps 800 people used, and its traffic resembled that of a local county portal. The author admitted that he regretted this change. He noted that the prevailing opinion of Wykop was as a place that was extremely unfriendly, but he did not fully agree with it. He described the site as a unique place where alongside an anecdote from an employee of a Norwegian laboratory about polymer synthesis, a post from Mariusz from Brighton could appear, who published a picture of his room after waking up from drinking. According to Mickpl, a similar community will not arise again in the Polish internet. He wrote that users grew up with the portal, took different paths, and later met there again, like a class reunion after years. He added that the rapid downfall of Wykop will be discussed in textbooks as an example of how not to manage a social media platform. #Wykop #społeczność #Internet (translated)
