The original premise was "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea but in space."
I've seen a few episodes of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea and it's a decent description.

There are a lot of different flavors of being on call.
I'm on call all the time. That just means I might get a phone call at any time and have to help one of our techs on a site. I don't have to be near the office for that - it's the knowledge in my head they want.
I charge regular time for it.
You could try putting a metal trash can over your head and letting the neighborhood kids hit it with a stick.
Power efficiency and the amount of components you can fit into the same area are the big reasons.
3nm isn't what you use for regular run-of-the-mill chips like voltage regulators and ADCs. It's for things like processors, where you have a metric buttload of complexity all in a tiny package.
We can't really clock silicon much faster than we do now, so speed increases come from having more cores, more pipelines, and more complicated tricks that let you do more with the same clock speed. People don't want to buy new devices that aren't faster than their old devices.
Taiwanese fabs have pushed the state of the art for quite some time now, so if China is catching up then that will get some people's attention. But Chinese fabs generally don't participate in the global supply chain so I personally think it's not going to have much impact in the west.
The description makes me think of The Great Lebowski.
Yep. Especially compared to a piloted plane - people don't understand the amount of money the US puts into training their pilots. Losing a plane is usually cheaper than losing a pilot.

I swear, Antonius, I put them in that cave right over there. What do you mean you can't find them?
I met a girl back when I was 18 and really hit it off with her. She told me that her ex was scary because he punched his dashboard when he was pissed off. Her ex was a guy on the fringes of our social group, so I didn't know him well.
A few days later we're in bed and my roommate lets her ex in. He confronts us with a major "WTF?" Apparently she never bothered to tell him she was leaving him.
A few weeks later, she's gone on to someone else and I'm best friends with the ex. We're still on friendly terms decades later.
Uranus and Neptune both have a significant amount of methane, as does Titan.

Closest I've seen was my kid getting one for a charity run. I'm not sure it counts since it wasn't a race - everyone who ran got the same ribbon. My kid didn't even run - he was a scout and volunteered to raise the flag and lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
I think it's probably one of those things that happened in a few places and the right wingers talk about it like it happens everywhere.
I'm not sure I understand. I'm working, so I'm charging for it.
