The withholding of the claw is a great honor.
I recall taking a date to the lab I was working in as a grad student and realizing after we got there that none of it is terribly impressive if you don't know what any of it does. She was unimpressed despite my excitement about all of it.
I later married a different woman who actually was excited about our lab things despite not being a scientist and having no idea what our many beige boxes do.
Great so far! There are a ton of fellow tourists and it's a bit pricey, but it's beautiful and the people are very nice. Plus where else can you eat a puffin?
I just bought a smart TV, updated the software, and disconnected it from the Internet, only allowing it access to our local Plex server. No ads and no stupid suggestions. It's great.
Production is pretty easy to understaff. It's not like an operator stands at the tool the entire time - much of the job is moving wafer cassettes from one tool to another and basically hitting "go", then the tool runs its process in its own. Other tasks involve restocking depleted chemicals and retrieving reticles, but the main thrust of the production job type is moving things from one place to another so the tools can do their job.
Given it's a 12.5 hour shift in a bunny suit that involves a lot of standing and walking, it's important that employees have a certain amount of downtime during their shift, just a few minutes here and there outside of breaks and lunches where they can relax. If you run too lean, staff has to constantly scurry from tool to tool and they'll quickly burn out. This is the TSMC way.
There's also a lot more to a fab than its production staff. Engineers, facilities, waste water treatment, chemical handling, IT, EHS, and various administrative roles are all very easy to understaff since many positions are salaried and TSMC loves that unpaid overtime. The results roll downhill to production staff not getting the support they need, further compounding the pressure they feel.

My wife and I have been together for a decade. Before she and I met, I dated pretty heavily on the online options at the time. All of my worst dates ever were found online. I decided online dating was depressing and stupid, just stopped trying to date anyone, and started just meeting people in person. It was wildly more successful. I had fewer dates but they were way higher quality. No one showing up on shrooms, ghosting me, or acting scandalized because I'm a little guy despite it being outlined multiple times in my online profile.
Aside: The latter is my personal favorite. I'm a hair over 5'6 and proportionally built. I'm not just short, I'm small. One woman I met immediately accused me of being deceptive about my height, even though I was actually taller than claimed at around 5'7 with dress shoes on. She was also 5'6 but was standing a bit taller than me. She had forgotten she was wearing heels. That date ended quickly. Bullet dodged.
I'm a biologist (well, microbiologist but we learn a lot of regular macrobiology stuff as undergrads) and used to get into arguments with my dipshit former high school classmates all the time about this. There was the ever present "hunters are the best stewards of the land" bullshit as an argument to get rid of permitting, tagging, etc. Hunters are mostly terrible, especially trophy hunters. They in particular select against some of the more advantageous traits.
Even if the steward bullshit was true for most hunters (spoiler: it's not), it only takes a small percentage of them misbehaving to drive animals to extinction.
I'll save North Americans a click: they're not available here.
