    If true, that makes 3 cabinet members dead in a little under 2 months. 

    With so few remaining, that is actually remarkable.   

     

    Kissinger will outlive them all, while Carter may have one or two more in him as well

    Ralph Pearson's death confirmed by UC Santa Barbara.

     

    A huge name in chemistry. HSAB is based only on empirical observations, yet it works a ridicolous amount of times. Kornblum rule directly derives from it: if you have a nucleophilic substitution with a bidentate nucleophile (i.e. SCN-) the nucleophile reacting depends on the reaction mechanism; for SN2 reaction the soft nucleophile reacts, for SN1 the hard nucleophile reacts.

     

    This is explained just on the basis a carbocation is a hard acid, so it tends to react with the hard base. Naive, but it works most times.

    You have a job involving Chemistry? Curious of your background, I understood what you said exactly. As a fellow Chemistry, along with Biology, nerd I'm a bit taken aback. You've done it sporadically the last few years.

    It is perfectly normal to forget where your own son died or that a colleague of yours died,  or getting lost on stage or going to shake hands with someone who isn't there.Stop being a conspiracy theorist. :P

    It's not like he has done similar things the last 40+ years! Oh wait...

    Clint Eastwood finding it hard to get funding is less about a physical decline and more that the Mid Budget Tier Adult Drama's are box office poison Post Pandemic,and  the only use for them to streaming services is if they can become Potential Oscar Fodder.He is not really at that Spielberg/Scorcese level where his films are rubberstamped for nominations.

    It's 100% this. He is not as much of a draw as he used to be. 

     

    I'd imagine the majority of studios would prefer if he retired and only did cameos.
