Yes they do, Jim. But they are just like any other professional that has

off and (s)he will tell you how to program a microcontroller for a precise
delay time of 30 seconds. You and I would take an RC time constant into a
fet and call it good. Depends on your skill set.
Nah, use a CD4060. That obsoletes the expensive and failure prone
electrolytic or <gasp> tantalum.
Tantalums are great if you never push a lot of pulse current into
them. Aluminums eventually dry out.
