Pukka Canadian

Maximum enrichment:

Alberta RCMP are warning that a man suspected of killing a woman in Edmonton in 2021 may be in the Surrey, B.C., area.

Bith Gattang Chuol is wanted on outstanding warrants for first-degree murder, kidnapping, break and enter, and extortion in relation to the death of 29-year-old Vanessa Silva.

[...] Chuol is described as about six feet four inches tall and weighing 140 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes. The RCMP said he has ties to Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Manitoba.


It's not that hard

The average person in the US spends more on take-out, delivery, and restaurants combined than on home-made meals.

Also, the average person in the US spends over three hours in front of the TV every day. For the overwhelming majority, it's not about the cost or time, it's just pure laziness.


It never ends

It's the same victimhood game with many women in the West. They're pampered, "educated", and live a life of luxury but still complain about the patriarchy and the mythical gender wage gap.


Ben Stokes is mortal

Nobody in over 2,500 Test matches had done this before:

0 No player had scored more than 150 runs in the fourth innings of a Test match while batting at No. 6 and lower, before Ben Stokes' 155 at Lord's on Sunday. The previous highest was an unbeaten 149 by Adam Gilchrist against Pakistan in the 1999 Hobart Test.

Stokes smashed 8 sixes in his epic in 2019. Today, he surpassed that craziness:

9 The number of sixes hit by Stokes during his 155 - the most by a player in an innings in the Ashes. He surpassed his record of eight sixes during his match-winning effort at Leeds, in 2019. Stokes is now also the leading six-hitter of the Ashes with 33 hits, going past Kevin Pietersen's 24.

Stokes broke multiple records but he had too much left to do. With the exception of Ben Duckett and the tenacious Broad, the team didn't build partnerships.

Let's see if this crew is capable of winning from 0-2 in this grand Ashes. Stokes will then have his name next to Bradman.


Doctors and Lawyers

"Boy"
"Teens"
"Stranger"
"Adolescent"
"[Name of state or province] man"

Reminds me of this story from 2016:

Everything about Nazareth’s history places it at odds with the scene that overtook the restaurant on Thursday evening, when a machete-wielding man stormed inside and started attacking.

A "machete-wielding man". A lot more descriptive. Still, what about his name, age or race? Nope! Of course, this means that he wasn't White.


Winning bigly

Definitely an impressive legacy:

Another win: not starting a new war during his tenure.
