Lokomotiv celebrates home wins with a locomotive's steam whistle!

Love this so much. I know the NHL teams all have unique goal sirens and stuff, this is way cooler

Watched it earlier today, and loved every second of it. Especially after learning he beat his former teammate, who was a defector.

Reminds me of how apparently Flavor Flav sponsored the US Women's Water Polo team because he heard they we had minimal funding and were working multiple jobs plus trying to keep up with their training or something like that.

Its kinda sad to think about, but also I guess very American. Hoping some benevolent rich person blesses you and your sport with money so you can hopefully keep doing that sport to win a medal.

Edit: Yeah it was the water polo team, also realized I'm being serious on a meme post... ABC News Link

Well that's upsetting to hear. It's completely abhorrent and I already can't believe that guy is allowed to compete. I can't comprehend how 4 years was it for his jail time. Deserves much worse than just the boo's he got in the first match.

Idk if it was live but just watched Cuba beat USA in Men's Beach Volleyball. The Cuban's were pumped and really trying to get the crowd into it all match despite the rain.

Looks like it happened in pool play: Olympics Site Match Results

I don't think most Americans are going to even register it's subs for Australia though. Maybe that's also the point, get Americans excited about building an extra sub or two as a treat for Australia. (Well really to your point Australia still wouldn't actually get new subs)

I don't watch a lot of NASCAR but seeing AKUS is blowing money being the lead sponsor on a car is wild. I guess since Australia isn't actually getting the submarines for a long time (or is it not at all?) they're free to do this.

Buildsubmarines is some site talking up AKUS

So I've been watching the Copa America as well as the Euros this year. The Bolivia coup attempt got me thinking, how do we think the Bolivian National team will react in their game today against Uruguay? I know they have quite a few domestic players.

Reads like one of those Japanese LN titles. Would just need the character to die and you've got an isekai right there.

Jeez I knew about the rent one. I'm not exactly surprised by the rest of these. I am a little surprised how blatant it is now that even the US Gov cannot pretend anymore.

Yeah, I have the same. I would like carplay/ android auto or whatever. But really don't need much of a screen. Just something big enough for GPS and see the current thing playing.

Otherwise yeah I could care less about most of what others consider essential. I don't even like leather seats lol.

I believe it was Mazda? I saw recently that was already doing this since they saw distracted driving massively increases with less buttons and knobs and whatnot.

I feel like whenever my current car dies I'm going to be looked at like a weirdo because I want buttons and knobs and analog gauges.

Edit: Thought the Mazda thing was more recent. I guess it's from 2019 Why Mazda is Purging Touchscreens From its Vehicles
