Another reason not to live in Texas

[George Hatch]

What's up with Texas weather? Reminder how beautiful in California.

You apparently live in a bubble. You only have to drive ~40 miles inland anywhere in California to experience Texas-weather.

There's no death valley near Bay Area. Next most similar would be in Sacramento.

Baja has better weather than SF.

Instead of Greenland and Canada, Trump should get Baja California.
I love visiting Baja California as a tourist.

All this talk of expansion is crazy. Besides, better to lease or buy what you need than to buy the whole thing that you don't need.

We can't buy these territories without also getting their population's politics.

Puerto Rico doesn't want to be a state. Why you think Canadians want to pay US taxes and our high priced health care system?

Alberta may be voting this time for succesion from wonderful canada. Puerto Rico should be anexed, or trade it for cuba.

Heat waves may accelerate the aging process

Recent studies have found that prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can be harmful to health – and might even influence aging.

Heat waves may accelerate the aging process​

Heat is known to affect cognitive function, cardiovascular health, and kidney function, and a growing body of research suggests that exposure to rising temperatures also accelerates the body's aging process. A 2023 German study published in Environment International was the first to find that higher air temperatures are associated with faster aging at the cellular level. It found that prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can make the body age faster than its chronological age, a phenomenon known as epigenetic age acceleration. Scientists measure this process using epigenetic clocks, which analyze chemical markers called DNA methylation that turn genes on and off. The study found that in areas where the average annual temperature is 1°C higher, people tend to show signs of accelerated aging at the cellular level.

I HEAR TEXAS AND FLORIDA GET REALLY HOT.

In an analysis of Trump's social media posts on Twitter and Truth Social, Goldman's analysts concluded that the president appears to favor West Texas Intermediate oil in the $40 to $50 barrel range.

However, "President Trump's inferred preference for relatively low oil prices directionally supports our view that oil prices are likely to edge lower in 2025-2026," they wrote.

Goldman forecast the WTI oil price to average $56 a barrel for the rest of 2025 and $52 a barrel in 2026.

That's still low. Texas will be in a lot of hurt.
Same as OPEC. Maybe the Saudis are courting Trump so he can change his "Drill, Drill, Drill" like with a jet plane gift.
