This doesn’t change anything. Westlaw and Lexis already do exactly this. Further, you will commit malpractice if you abdicate your discretion to a computer program, one that already exists, mind you.

No, this isn’t a “lawyer” it’s virtually identical to Lexis Advanced or Westlaw Next. That is it. It has the exact capabilities that each of these services has, it is literally nothing new.

How come no one mentions that these are only the systems that are oriented in such a way that planets transit between their host stars and us? Doesn’t this mean that are a lot more systems out there we can’t see direct transit events from? What is that number?

I seem to recall a bit of outrage over Junior and that was 100% fantasy. I imagine the outrage over this happening for real would be pretty huge.

It seems very, very odd to have a list without “solar flare” and/or the proximate effects of a sufficiently widespread EMP. (“Nuclear War” seems more about fallout.) An EMP would cause global disruption. An EMP affecting a sufficient amount of infrastructure would lead to widespread societal collapse, and the…

Sorry, still not buying it. If I attached paint brushes to my cat’s feet and had him walk over a canvas, the result would be both “deliberate”, as in the cat meant to walk on that specific spot, and an expression of the cat’s unconsciousness, because the cat would be unconsciously walking from point A to point B, and…

Coffee filters are much more biodegradable than the plastic k cups.

Hell no. You drink Maxwell House? You just went down a notch from keurig user. I only drink organic artisanal fair trade negative carbon footprint coffee hand roasted by transsexual homeless ex-convicts. Get with the fucking program or just stop drinking coffee.

“I’m sorry the planet you tried to reach is no longer in existence. If you feel you have received this message in error, please check the listing and try again.”

Thank you for illustrating how a reasonable criticism of Hillary Clinton (and more specifically, her genre of politician) can be made that relies on actual criticism and not her gender.

Or, we could enact policies that’ll promote a rapid shift to renewable energy sources—our best shot at preventing our coastlines from drowning.

We absolutely must stop global warming before Florida Men and Florida Women begin leaving for other states.

Lighten up.

The point is YOU don’t retain anything, a brand spanking new you walks off the other side, unaware of its newness and undetectable as different from the old you, so to new you and everyone else, no difference; to old you instant, painless, and it would have to be or new you would remember, Death. Final and…

If you are recreated as an an exact copy down to the atomic level and retain all of your memories and personality traits, etc... would you really care that the you that was teleported from that desolate planet full of dead Red Shirts was destroyed in the process?

Sorry, but the concept of a president’s spouse being elected president (male, female or otherwise) is itself absurdist. It has very little to do with gender and a whole lot more to do with weird familial ruling.

If the tables were turned, I would still complain about Bill running as an ex-first guy(?)

You must be real fun at parties.

Noo! Cat owning physicists are how we came up with String Theory!

And why can't it be both?
