While hybrid cars are nice and all, good diesel cars still, for the most part, kick the tar out of them when it comes to milage. If somebody came up with a diesel hybrd, they’d probably be rich. But in the meanwhile, Honda is showing off a diesel Accord that gets over 60 MPG (and I hear there are VWs that will get close to that as well). Naturally, this as news that the United States ranks at the bottom when it comes to fuel-economy standards.

Sex Links
Yes, that headline was an obvious ploy to get attention. Don’t know why I’ve been holding on to these, but here are a bunch of random sex links. Some of these are obviously a tad NSFW-ish:
- Sex can help you stay healthy.
- What it feels like to need sex all the time (Quote: “My whole vagina felt like a pressure cooker about to go off any minute — but it wouldn’t.”).
- Foreign men have more sex than Americans — or they lie a lot.
- 10 Craziest Places To Have Sex.
- Couples Who Don’t Have Sex End Up Hating Each Other.
- Two women are making a documentary film about the history of vibrators.
- 8 Positions Women Love.
- How big is too big?
- This television station’s call-letters are dirty.
- And just to throw a little more sexism out there: How To Deal With Woman During Her Period.
Uses For An Old NES
Oh come on, I’m sure I’m not the only one that has an old NES in the closet. Here’s a few things you can do with it.
Unicel Customers Are Now Verizon Customers
I know a lot of people locally (and I used to be one of them) that are Unicel customers. They are now all Verizon customers (another story here and press release here).
I used them until my employer started paying for my cell phone, which meant moving to US Cellular. But they were one of the first companies to provide cellular service in this area, and I’m not surprised to see this happen as this area is growing quite fast and US Cellular has quite a few towers in the area. And according to Matt, T-Mobile is currently using Unicel towers, so I wonder how this will affect that relationship. Any local cell gurus who can answer that?
But this certainly now makes Verizon a good choice for rural customers while it wasn’t so before, as Unicel has good coverage in hard-to-reach areas of central Oregon.
