Can't even tell which is older.

Probably one of those situations where your parents decided to have you when your older sibling left the nest to have their own kids.

I told them I didnt want to because then I'd be a target for the suspects for handing out evidence to law enforcement.

This is a stupid reason to withhold evidence, those criminals have no way of knowing what you did or did not hand over

This. If anyone saw the cops at your door, they may assume that you already cooperated, regardless of whether you did or not.

We are attracted more to people that look similar to us, but that aren't actually related to us. We specifically are not attracted to our siblings because of the Westermarck effect (we grew up with them).
The level of Westermarck effect with cousins is much lower, because you don't live with them all the time.

Also, this is why soap operas have separated / unknown siblings fall in love, only to discover it later: They didn't grow up together, but look similar.

As a domain admin, you can go into Active Directory and "reset your password" to what it currently is when it's about to expire and reset the timer. This method also bypasses the "can't set your password to anything you've used in the last X amount of passwords" policy.

Anyway, the new standard these days is to use multi-factor authentication and stop forcing users to change their password every X amount of days. It's much more secure and less annoyance for the end user.

Thanks. I'll try that, assuming the district didn't set up something against that on their end.

I don't let not-the-wife people touch my groinal area. I would block her and quickly step up and back away.

Or if the other woman faints and I have to hold her to keep her from falling, and my wife walks in, I would just tell her that something is wrong with this woman and to call 911. "It's not what it looks like" just makes everything more suspicious.

Huh. I'm the netadmin at my school, and me, principals, and office staff (anyone with special access to some stuff) have to change every 60 days. Teachers used to have to do it too, but they changed it like 2 years ago. They can change their password if they want, but they don't actually expire.

It's admittedly a pretty interesting example, because in the Old Testament nudity is treated as shameful and embarrassing elsewhere. A lot of older civilizations existing in the same time period viewed nudity as more of a natural state.

It seems like that whole family of religions is too focused on shame, or guilt.

When you say something causes bad luck, what does it mean? Does it mean there is some entity that is watching you, and if you do X (bad-luck-inducing action), it punishes you with bad things? Or do you think it is a mechanical outcome, a natural phenomenon?
The answer is that there is no bad luck.

The Egg
By: Andy Weir

You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And thats when you met me.

What what happened? You asked. Where am I?

You died, I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.

There was a a truck and it was skidding

Yup, I said.

I I died?

Yup. But dont feel bad about it. Everyone dies, I said.

You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. What is this place? You asked. Is this the afterlife?

More or less, I said.

Are you god? You asked.

Yup, I replied. Im God.

My kids my wife, you said.

What about them?

Will they be all right?

Thats what I like to see, I said. You just died and your main concern is for your family. Thats good stuff right there.

You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didnt look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty.

Dont worry, I said. Theyll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didnt have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If its any consolation, shell feel very guilty for feeling relieved.

Oh, you said. So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?

Neither, I said. Youll be reincarnated.

Ah, you said. So the Hindus were right,

All religions are right in their own way, I said. Walk with me.

You followed along as we strode through the void. Where are we going?

Nowhere in particular, I said. Its just nice to walk while we talk.

So whats the point, then? You asked. When I get reborn, Ill just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life wont matter.

Not so! I said. You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just dont remember them right now.

I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. Its like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if its hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, youve gained all the experiences it had.

Youve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you havent stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, youd start remembering everything. But theres no point to doing that between each life.

How many times have I been reincarnated, then?

Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives. I said. This time around, youll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.

Wait, what? You stammered. Youre sending me back in time?

Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.

Where you come from? You said.

Oh sure, I explained I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know youll want to know what its like there, but honestly you wouldnt understand.

Oh, you said, a little let down. But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.

Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you dont even know its happening.

So whats the point of it all?

Seriously? I asked. Seriously? Youre asking me for the meaning of life? Isnt that a little stereotypical?

Well its a reasonable question, you persisted.

I looked you in the eye. The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.

You mean mankind? You want us to mature?

No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.

Just me? What about everyone else?

There is no one else, I said. In this universe, theres just you and me.

You stared blankly at me. But all the people on earth

All you. Different incarnations of you.

Wait. Im everyone!?

Now youre getting it, I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back.

Im every human being who ever lived?

Or who will ever live, yes.

Im Abraham Lincoln?

And youre John Wilkes Booth, too, I added.

Im Hitler? You said, appalled.

And youre the millions he killed.

Im Jesus?

And youre everyone who followed him.

You fell silent.

Every time you victimized someone, I said, you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness youve done, youve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.

You thought for a long time.

Why? You asked me. Why do all this?

Because someday, you will become like me. Because thats what you are. Youre one of my kind. Youre my child.

Whoa, you said, incredulous. You mean Im a god?

No. Not yet. Youre a fetus. Youre still growing. Once youve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.

So the whole universe, you said, its just

An egg. I answered. Now its time for you to move on to your next life.

And I sent you on your way.
