  1. Past hour
  2. I found CapCut. Can be used in the browser. So next session, I know what I have to do ... I think ...
  3. https://www.isglobal.org/-/62.700-muertes-asociadas-con-el-calor-del-verano-de-2024
  4. Today
  5. (If this is not the right sub-forum, please move it.) Many years ago, I made a music video. My own song, my own camera recordings. My song is now on Spotify, YouTube etc. My video needs A LITTLE editing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1I3zb3Ouz1U Anyone have any experience with a good program? LosslessCut seems too much. I am thinking about downloading Shortcut: https://www.shotcut.org/download/ ... but I absolutely HATE to install new programs. Recommended ram is 12. I have 16. I have enough free space also. Help me work up the courage, or would you like to edit the video for me?
  6. Interesting information regarding daily records in the US according to the CDC.https://ephtracking.cdc.gov/Applications/heatTracker/ But I read an article that the CDC may not fully report the exact number. https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heatrisk/cdc.html#:~:text=Each year%2C hot weather results,cause in the death certificate. I am ready for cooler temps. One day soon. 🙂
  7. Im sure Poland isn’t the only country where selfishness and shortsightedness show that we are closer and closer to the end of human rule. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1HeQn8Nf4G/?mibextid=wwXIfr 7,5 milion PLN (~2 mln USD) investment got awarded
  8. If someone is apostate, that's our judgement of them... They would not, I wouldn't think, describe themselves as 'apostate'. I don't think you understand what I mean by this. They might say they are 'agnostic' or an 'atheist' or something similar. But not 'apostate'.
  9. Brother Tom, How beautiful -Oh the angels - may Jehovah continue to bless you - I will re-read your rv experiences, so encouraging - while out in service today, and I thank you for sharing!
  10. Climate skeptics will no doubt appreciate. France: Approximately 7,300 excess deaths (preliminary figures). According to Santé publique France (data as of mid-August 2026): May (May 24–28): ≈ 300 June 17–July 2: 5,764 July 3–22: 1,243 The figures for August have not yet been released. Additionally, we are expecting temperatures of 40° in some regions again this week. By way of comparison, in 2003: According to estimates by Inserm (the Hémon-Jougla report) and InVS: Cumulative excess mortality of approximately 14,800 to 15,000 deaths between August 1 and 20, 2003. A mass death toll that shocked the entire country—and still, there is no widespread air conditioning. The intense heat wave lasted mainly from August 4 to August 13–15, with a peak in mortality around August 12 (more than 2,000 excess deaths on that day). But one day Jesus will say, “Be quiet, heat wave!” It shouldn’t be much longer now.
  11. Tambien noté ese cambio. Debe significar que ya estan haciendo el cambio para poner las nuevas. Si es un hecho que habrá el proximo año verdad? English: I noticed that change too. It must mean they're already making the switch to install the new ones. It is a sure thing for next year, right?
  12. yeah, efficiency vs transmission line loss is a different kettle of fish.
  13. Sometimes lately in the USA, the power doesn't work right so the AC doesn't work. I don't know how to explain why.
  14. I recognize that AI is impossible to be wrong, but I also have noticed it is how and what questions are asked. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=107&t=3 From Gemini (much less waste): Sorry. I must have said transmission, but I meant just heat transference/ loss.
  15. We were informed that, here in Brazil, we will have a visit from members of the world headquarters in October. However, unlike in previous years, that special three-hour meeting will not be broadcast to the congregations. I was surprised because I really enjoy this meeting, and I don’t understand the reason for the change. I found it quite curious and interesting.
  16. 🇪🇸 Spain — Extreme summer heat is now blamed for an estimated 2,149 deaths in August alone, making it the second-deadliest August since Spain began keeping these records in 2015. Even more sobering, an estimated 5,234 people died from heat-related causes between May 15 and August 31—the highest summer toll recorded by the monitoring system. Nearly all of those who died in August were over 65, including 1,285 people over 85. And summer may be ending, but the heat is not: temperatures across much of inland Spain are expected to climb above 95°F (35°C) again later this week. Google
  17. ⛴️ Northern Cyprus Ferry — Eight people are confirmed dead and 20 remain missing from the Filo Jet, which sank Sunday with 267 people aboard. A Turkish Navy deep-sea vessel equipped with a submersible has now joined the operation to search the wreck more than 500 meters below the Mediterranean.
  18. 🇵🇭 Philippines — The death toll from the cyclones and continuing southwest monsoon has risen to 34. Flooding remains widespread, and authorities are bringing in additional troops, vehicles and water-rescue equipment as some communities that were not previously considered flood-prone are now being inundated.
  19. 🇯🇵 Japan — The record-rain emergency has largely moved into recovery. Residents in Fukui are now clearing mud and water from flood-damaged homes after the extraordinary rainfall, with the immediate danger complicated by a sharp change in weather: heatstroke alerts were issued as temperatures climbed during the cleanup.
  20. 🇳🇵 Nepal–Tibet — The death toll from the August 26 flood has now passed 1,000, with Nepal reporting 1,003 deaths and 3,916 people missing, while the latest figures from Tibet add another 16 dead and 546 missing. More than 11,000 people have been rescued, but the search remains focused on hydropower projects where hundreds of workers may still be trapped in tunnels.
  21. Yesterday
  22. Wednesday, September 2 Jehovah is with us. Do not fear them.—Num. 14:9. When we have cultivated proper fear of Jehovah, we love him so much that we would never do anything to displease him. We are eager to learn the difference between right and wrong, between truth and falsehood, so that we can gain Jehovah’s approval. (Prov. 2:3-6; Heb. 5:14) If we were to fear humans more than we fear God, we could be led away from the truth. Consider the example of the 12 chieftains who spied out the land that Jehovah had promised to give to the Israelites. For ten of the spies, their fear of the Canaanites was stronger than their love for Jehovah. They told their fellow Israelites: “We are not able to go up against the people, because they are stronger than we are.” (Num. 13:27-31) From a human standpoint, the Canaanites were stronger. That part was true. But to say that the Israelites would not be able to conquer their enemies left Jehovah out of the picture. w24.07 9 ¶5-6
  23. I think you'll find your numbers are a bit off. No argument about rooftop solar, but losses are no where near 2/3. Quoting from AI when posed with that assumption the answer was Total transmission losses (not counting local distribution) for a whole grid typically run 2–3% of generated energy in developed countries; add local distribution losses and total T&D losses land around 6–8% overall (higher in countries with older/weaker grids, sometimes 15%+). The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) puts it around 10%
  24. Not sure how this became the solar topic, but I am happy for the distraction from the crazy. Did you know, it takes 3 times the power generation at a plant to feed a home than solar right at it. This is because on average of 2/3 of the power going out is lost due to heat transference between the plant and the house. Actually, generating power right at your home is quite the saver - way better than large fields of solar that will also loose 2/3.

    • Modern references to creative days:
       
      *** w15 6/1 p. 5 How Science Affects Your Life ***
      The Bible fixes no duration for the six creative “days.” Instead, it opens the door for modern scientists to study them and assign accurate time spans to them. We know that the creative “days” were much longer than 24-hour days.
       
      *** g21 No. 3 p. 12 What the Bible Tells Us ***
      So each of the six creative “days” during which God prepared the earth for life and created life on it could represent extremely long periods of time.
       
      *** g 1/14 p. 12 Creation ***
      WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS God created the universe, including the earth, in the indefinite past—“in the beginning,” as Genesis 1:1 says. Modern science agrees that the universe had a beginning. A recent scientific model suggests it to be almost 14 billion years old.
       
      *** lc pp. 26 Science and the Genesis Account ***
      A careful consideration of the Genesis account reveals that events starting during one “day” continued into one or more of the following “days.”
