Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - November 18, 2024, 02:51:27 PMIntel and TSMC plants here have their own water treatment facilities at the plants and are currently reuse/recalim 65% of the water that they use.
The newest Intel plant in Chandler uses grey water from the City Of Chandler processes and purifies it for production use and the water that is returned to the city is treated before it's sent to the city which then uses a reverse osmosis process and then injects the water into aquiffers to bank the water back into the well systems that provide the city with water.

Just kidding. Quite possibly our drinking water?
Its not like they will be testing rocket engines or something...
Semiconductors take a lot of water to manufacture. And solar cells are semiconductors.

Other Tulsa Discussion / Re: Kum & Go got up and went
Last post by dbacksfan 2.0 - November 18, 2024, 11:13:04 AMHaven't been to a K&G or an On Cue in recent trips back. I stick with QT, was so glad when they came to Phoenix back around 2000. I do occasionally go to Circle K and when I lived in Oregon would go to 7 Eleven.
I even have a order of preference when on road trips it's Loves, Flying J/Pilot and then Travel America. They've started work on the first Buc-ees in Arizona. I'll check it out sometime but it's not in a area I'm normally in.

Kum & Go at 111th and Memorial was GitNGo for a long time. Still shows as a Kum & Go.

Last post by heironymouspasparagus - November 16, 2024, 07:02:36 PMSo everyone else is back up and running, so I guess my ban is intentional! Don't I even get an explanation or reason for that??
The message I get says banned with no explanation and the sentence;
"This ban is not set to expire."

I think the Tulsa area Kum & Go locations used to be Git & Go, but I'm not sure.
Haven't been to one that was ex-GitNGo. Their fountain drinks are better than QuikTrip!!! By a LOT! OnCue in OKC is similar.
But I was in OKC area about 2 weeks ago and somewhere in that trip, I saw a QuikTrip. I guess the anti-trust collusion agreement is over now...
