  • Mother for whatever reason decides she doesn’t want to have the embryo implanted.

    Who knows, maybe they can’t afford kids. Or her and the father are about to break up. Or she has found out she’s at risk of complications.

    I think I am just suffering lack of information.
    I assumed the contract is to be an after birth thing and not something that makes sure that the mother has to bear the child.
    Besides, if the implantation is not done, hasn’t He not actually done the procedure and can choose another (although hard to do so in time)?
    Does the embryo have some kind of compatibility with the mother, for implantation to be successful?

    In case He has the option to find another chap for the process in the above cases, I won’t consider the contract extending to this time.



  • There is already a separate systemd-inhibit command that does exactly what you need. Trust your users, they are capable of googling it (most of the time).

    Thanks for this. I now have an idea that would work at least for my case.

    So, in case the user runs some long-running command and doesn’t remember to use systemd-inhibit, but then decides they should have done so (which seems like something that would happen to me a lot), there can be an option in the console to inhibit until the end of said process.

    Still, automates nothing though, so maybe that’s just upto aliases and stuff.


    to scan your system for active TCP connections

    I was thinking in similar lines. Just need to decide what cases are worth keeping on for.
    e.g.

    • You may not want to inhibit sleep just for an idle ssh in a terminal.
    • You may want to inhibit in case you are encoding a video using ffmpeg. (in case of GUI programs, they are pretty full of stuff and I would expect them to inhibit when encoding)




  • Babies are conceived without their consent.

    In case of a C-section, they are born without their consent (implying that they would rather grow up inside the womb :P (look, idk what babies think when they don’t come out, but we sure aren’t asking them whether they’d rather stay in there))


    I would rather be asking if Dr. He had the parent’s consent before modding the foetus.


  • He also had a bizarre contract he made the parents sign that if they changed their minds they had to reimburse him the financial costs of the experiment

    Here’s a scenario.

    • Parent gets modded baby
    • Parent is approached by a corporation to take over the baby for their exp instead
      • Corporation is willing to pay parent for it
    • Parent later goes and says no to Dr. He
    • Parent takes baby to the corporation instead, which now gets to step ahead of Dr. He
    • Dr. He gets no resultant data but is stuck with the costs of doing whatever he did.
