    I live a good 40 minute drive to work; there is no way I could possibly bike to work. If I lived in Europe where everyone’s cramped like a can of sardines, sure. But things are just too far apart here.

      Crammed like sardines? Or living in sanely zoned communities free of urban sprawl and endless suburbs?

        Yeah, I probably should look at quitting and starting the business under my own LLC and running it local to me. I repair 3D printers for a living, and there’s only like 5 places in the US that do so. So finding work closer to home isn’t an option, but moving the work closer to home could suffice. I’ve certainly been mulling it over.

        But I also love driving, so there’s that too :D
