Look around for a local makerspace / hackerspace. We have two different size wood CNCs at ours, plus light-weight coworking. No citrus or cucumber water though and members do the cleaning (for now).

We've been building Tampa Hackerspace for the past four years and much of this is similar to advice I give. The "ten people" to start is close. I tell people you need at least 100 in your broader community and at least 10 com

I spend most of my coding time on just a laptop (15" MBP with 1680x1050 matte screen) and the only thing that bothers me very much is the position it puts my neck in. I try to sit lower than usual to help that. I do use multiple deskto

The road to my son's high school has a 5 MPH speed limit. Have you ever tried to drive 5 MPH? My speedometer doesn't register that low. My car goes faster than that at idle.
