I always tell them that they'll hear about any crash or issue I'm involved in long before I can call them, and that if anything eventful in the trip does happen I'll call them. But for insistent ones I always detour and make sure I get home much later than expected, and tell them all about dinner, the stores I went to, the park, whatever I choose to do besides going straight home.

You say you understand the concept of deep time but like everyone else in the world the sheer size of the numbers are incomprehensible to our brains. There's no reason for us to be able to distinguish between 10,000 and 10,000,000,000 on a practical level. - so we really have issues comprehending the sheer size difference between numbers we can visualize and those we can't. I think that's where you're running into issues. Add in the rapidity that chemical reactions can happen with and the sheer scale of those reactions on the surface of a planet (combined with different levels of energy input) and you get an unimaginably high number of "dice rolls" to find a system that actually works. Quintillions, since that's the highest number I can think of ATM, but even higher in reality. Fairly complex organic molecules have been found in space and appear to form relatively easily, so the basic blocks are there. It's not actually starting from scratch, so there's that. Hope this helps.

I think it happens when a posts comments are getting heated and/or inane in one section and instead of deleting the whole thing admin just makes it a read only file so the "productive" parts remain but the contentious part doesnt result in mass blocking between members. Just a guess from the occasional times I've seen it, good chance I'm wrong.
