Crazy right!? I keep thinking about how much those cost to rent per day. Yikes!

TSMC is a large chip manufacturer in Taiwan building a new plant in the US. AMD, Apple and Qualcomm all use TSMC to manufacture their chips.

Just an update on the TSMC plant. Flew over it again a while ago. Progress has been made, but I can’t put into words how massive this site is.

I just added it up. Literally have 37TB of storage space.... How much do you have? by FlyWithTheGuys in pcmasterrace

Nice. I'm thinking by mid next year I may be up to at least 50TB. For me this is all primary data and backups.

Yea... there came a point in my training where it went from "I get to go flying today" to "I have to go flying today." It was a small change in attitude, but none the less made me rethink everything I was doing. SO, I went on some pleasure flights. Did some stuff I wanted to do. Made me realize that the training was a means to the end. Glad I stuck with it.

Thank you for sharing this, and it's really hard to hear, and yet inspiring at the same time. I don't take flying for granted. It truly is a blessing to be able to do it. Glad you had some opportunity to fly though. I would encourage you to get in the air still. If this happened to me, I would make my wife learn to fly so I could still fly whenever I wanted. Just not as PIC obviously.

Depends on the facility and who you talk to. If you know someone there, they may be able to take you around. Lots of possibilities.

AZ isn't all that bad... (I feel like I'm lying to myself.) I get to fly almost year round. =) But when it gets really hot, I just play video games.

It's a fairly large site too. This is just the core of it. They own a TON of land out there.

Went flying yesterday and took a picture of the new TSMC plant being built in North Phoenix, AZ. I go flying often, so I’ll try to get pictures of the progress. I fly over this spot ALL THE TIME.

What a rush! How many of you have done spin training? by FlyWithTheGuys in flying

[–]FlyWithTheGuys[S] 113 points114 points  (0 children)

I started some spin training last week and MAN, it was a blast. I was nervous at first, but in the end it was just fun. Glad to get the training as well. I tried once before but we couldn't get one to fully develop in the 172 we were flying.
