        Those fabs in Taiwan, even though they look like plain boxes from the outside, are really a wonder of human ingenuity. Each machine that’s sensitive to quakes is on a vibration isolation pedestal and that pedestal is seismically braced, from what I’ve read.

        Not to mention every building in Taiwan is laced with explosives in case China ever attacks…

          Be me in a different life, changing a lightbulb in my Taiwanese home. Slip on the ladder and grab the light holder tearing it from the wall. The wiring breaks against the det. cord causing a neighbourhood wide chain reaction that can be seen from space.

          Standing in front of St. Peter with 50 other rather angry neighbours.

      This one will be designed to work during earthquake. Meaning that it won’t work without earthquakes

      There was a good LTT where he toured a new fab facility in Japan. Entire building(s) basically on giant shocks. It’s kind of mind blowing
