It looks like a great first draft of a short story. Keep up the writing. I mean this in no way to be insulting of the quality of writing, I think the flow is just a bit rough.

Most of these problems are not related at all to the primary use case of Zipcars - extremely short day trips. There is a whole whack of competition in the one day plus trip markets - rental cars in general.

As with many issues, I think it is a social problem and not a government issue. I think it is the role of parents and not the government to control what a 10 year old ingests.

If the device succeeds Arrington can brag about how it was his vision and was ripped out from under him. Also how it succeeded despite not being something as good or as cheap as he imagined. If the device fails he will claim it was a resul

I find this use of the word Karma somewhat annoying. Karma is cause and effect - I downvote you, you lose points. The whole doing bad things results in future bad things for yourself is really a misconception. Although it seems to be rapi

I can't use any of those bench press or overhead press machines because my wrists are seriously ruined from gymnastics in my youth (damn pommel-horse). I have really inflexible wrists that also cannot rotate smoothly. But I have absolutely
