When your parents call and text you at woRk and they tell you to call. Sitting on your lunch hour waiting and calling them multiple times and they refuse to answer or text back....why say it's important when you dont answer?! That there ruffles my feathers like mad!

@Eric: yeah I know, ironic isn't it?

@king: I do kinda. Lol

Edit:
Got in touch with parents, and cone to find out I stay at my shitty apt complex they would up my rent by 50$ if I sign six days before it ended on 10/31/11 and if I didn't my rent would have been 150$ more. Keep in my I pay for a small 2 bedroom about 600-650sqft small kitchen etc with a pet deposit of total 549$/mo plus water ( which is not fairly distrib by a one person living). Yeah...

As for looks I love the way my HTC Evo looks. And my battery life was horrible until I installed the latest Gingerbread Fresh ROM. Now it's great and I don't have to leave the phone on a charger all day long. It's 4:30 and my phone has been off the charger since 6:30 this morning and I'm still at 80%. So I would suggest looking into rooting your phone and loading a custom rom and it might fix your battery issues. Mine turned out to be a software problem, not hardware.

I like choice but they are coming too often and too fast. I'm running a sense 3.0 ROM and have no issues whatsoever. Not like the sensation with the dual core. The evo is one acception to the looks of htc's phones. That's complete based off the HD2 so its a nice build. I wanted an unlocked evo but I'm gonna wait till another come out that has the looks and power.

Well, not really anything that is grinding my gears. More like oiling them and making everything run better. But it's somewhat related to phones.
A whatever it is was filed in court today to stop AT$T's acquisition of T-Mobile. Thank the lord. They were filing on the ground that it would largely reduce competition and likely cause rate increases for customers.

bandwidth caps on the internet you pay to use, it irritates me that if i really wanted to download everything i see 24hrs a day 7 days a week for a month that they will throttle my speed or cut my connection entirely it is complete bullshit, i pay for service i expect to use the full service not part of it. just so you know Qwest and Comcast have a download limit of 250gb's a month, and yes all my downloads are legal and are not torrents or porn.

That there are senators and politicians supporting this buy-out grinds my gears. They only support it because AT&T pays for their campaign. I'm glad the DoJ is stepping in attempting to stop this. It's already known that AT&T has said that they could build out their LTE network for around $6 billion and reach 97% of Americans. This was after they had claimed that the only way that it was possible was to buy T-Mo for $63 billion.

I hope its' open and shut and the courts stop the deal. Then AT&T has to pay T-Mo $6.3 billion part in cash and part in other concessions. Like a huge chunk of the AWS spectrum that AT&T doesn't use.

Having an oil burning issue and not being able to figure it out.

But what irks me SOOOO much more than that, is when I explain to people that I am burning oil, and I know this because...
1. I have to top off at least half quart or a whole quart every time I drive it
2. I have no oil leaks
3. It's smoking like crazy and smells like oil
4. I know it's not 2-cycle because I can't smell it at all even though I'm premixing AND injecting it via OMP

And they STILL ask me if maybe it's smoking because of excess oil in the exhaust. Um, OK, that does NOTHING to explain why I'M MISSING OIL. Or this..."it's probably smoking because of all the 2-cycle you're injecting". I can't smell it and that STILL doesn't explain why I'M MISSING ENGINE OIL.

Come on people, READ and/or LISTEN!!! I'm so sick of explaining this over and over and over and over...

My ideas:
a. Turbo related?? oil in intake tract? have you removed the turbo to look for the normal signs?
b. side or corner seals failing?? - i have a compression tester if you can get to Denver
c. worn oil control rings or control ring springs?
d. oil in the coolant?
e. MOP stuck in full load? (longshot since FD is electric i know)
[color="Red"]f. What kind of crankcase vent system is in place??[/color]--is it catch-can style or is the engine still re-burning it's by-products?? (my thought is on a hard corner you're pulling enough G's to force oil up through and into the intake
That's all I can think of on a rotary, unless it's in the turbo plumbing
well, back to the OMP, are you using the RA adapter or equivalent? or is it engine oil fed still, as I'm unclear from your post

I'm pretty into downloading stuff and even on heavy months I don't hit 250GB. What are you downloading legally that's that big?

And btw, porn is legal.

i have a pretty large steam list of games so figure they are roughly 4-8 gb a piece and there are over a hundred and don't keep them all on the computer for simple reason of space plus i stream netflix regularly instead of buying cable tv along with gaming online which of course doesn't use much but i figured out that if i play roughly 10hrs a week on css for 3 weeks i use up almost 1.5gb's of download just there. it all adds up when you have multiple computers doing things and use netflix instead of tv.
