Shredded bbq chicken12/8/2023 ![]() You can even add the shredded chicken back to the slow cooker with the sauce and let it cook on low for a little longer to serve very warm. If you were to add it cold right from the fridge it will make for a cold sandwich. Don’t forget to heat the sauce (the second addition).Test chicken internal temperature to 165 degrees for doneness.Other models may take an hour or so longer. My go-to slow cooker is this one and Crockpot is known for cooking high so this is usually is done in 4 hours. Every slow cooker brand/model is a little different.They are super tender, don’t overcook as easily and don’t end up with a dry, almost starchy-like texture. For best bbq chicken, use chicken thighs.Low setting is highly recommend for best results.Just keep in mind it just won’t be quite as tender.Yes, the chicken can cook on high setting of slow cooker in about 2 1/2+ hours.Serve in buns: Serve the pulled bbq chicken in hamburger buns.If you feel it needs a little more moisture you can add another splash of the reserved liquid, also season to taste with a little more salt if needed. Toss chicken with reserved liquid and sauces: Pour 3/4 cup of the reserved liquid and the BBQ sauce mixture over the chicken then toss to evenly coat.Heat remaining 3/4 cup BBQ sauce with 2 Tbsp steak sauce in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave until warm (about 1 – 2 minutes). Heat sauces: Return chicken to slow cooker. ![]()

Wizard king julius novachrono12/8/2023 What are you thoughts?Īlso only way I see Asta defeating Julius is with Anti Magic Zone, whereby he nullifies all magic in a certain area therefore inhibiting Julius Magic Zone, preventing precognition. If Julius was the protagonist instead of Asta, he would be speedblitzing devils like a piece of cake. Maybe Julius becomes an antagonist in the last arc and Asta negates Julius' ability to see into the future in battle. Ngl, I think Julius Novachrono will be the biggest obstacle for Asta to overcome in order to become Wizard King. Time Magic is just too broken, the only magic that stands a chance against Julius is Light Magic (fastest magic) and even that stands no chance as he can see MOMENTARILY into the future and adapt to light magic speed. Ok, so if Julius was in his adult state, he would blitz everyone and reduce every antagonist in the Spade Arc to nothingness in a matter of nanoseconds. Read The Penalties In Detail > Buy the manga.

Who committed suicide on cheer12/8/2023 ![]() By letting someone know you care, you are concerned, and you are supportive, the message is clear Im here for you, I notice you, you matter, I want to help. “Not having to worry about things like that was such a big sense of relief,” she says. The conversation is less about the words and content and more about your sincerity. Scott Foster, committed suicide last week. Samantha appreciated all of the offers to help her take care of tasks from organizing the funeral to making meals in the weeks following her brother’s death. A victim attorney claims the owner of Rockstar Cheer in Greenville and other coaches used alcohol and drugs to molest underage team members for years. “Sometimes, when words are inadequate, actions can be a symbol of nurturing and love,” Wolfelt says. In addition to providing practical support, you’re showing how much you care about your friend at a time when it’s hard to come up with comforting things to say. A YOUNG cheerleader is thought to have taken her own life just hours after her mum urged the school to clamp down on social media bullies. A few ideas: Bring prepared food, clean the kitchen, help sort mail, babysit, give their kids a ride-whatever you can do to make their life even a tiny bit easier. It’s most helpful if you are proactive instead of just saying, “I'm here if you need anything,” which puts the onus of asking for help on the person who is grieving, McGann says. ![]() “Taking something off their to-do list can be invaluable,” McGann says. Our guest, Frank King, lives with major depression and suffers from suicidal ideation, and he describes himself as a.

Sifu developer12/7/2023 You never have to stop putting on that show of agility. It is enormously satisfying to stand in place dodging every foot and fist and baseball bat that enters your airspace like a pro boxer who outclasses their opponent and knows it. It's possible to avoid most attacks that way, and at this point basic enemies struggle to land a single blow on me, even when they've got me surrounded. While holding block, flicking the analog stick down dodges high attacks, causing the protagonist to slip and roll around and under haymakers, kicks, and grabs, which basic enemies telegraph clearly like the amateurs they are (thanks to Sifu being a singleplayer game, it can slow down time to make this easier). (There's keyboard and mouse support, too, but it feels like playing Rocket League that way: doable, but weird.) It's fun just to take part in such a stylish display of imagined (but grounded) athleticism, but Sifu's brilliance lies more in defense than offense. You can produce wildly diverse combinations of kneeings, elbowings, kicks, punches, and throws from just two buttons and an analog stick. It is enormously satisfying to stand in place dodging every foot and fist and baseball bat that enters your airspace. ![]() And at least when my cortisol levels are within a normal range, beating up bouncers in SIfu is exceptionally fun. I can't say that I was exactly happy to beat up the same nightclub bouncer 50 or so times on my way into the second level, but I didn't feel I could accept defeat, either. It's irritating how compelling Sifu is in spite of all that. There are also pointless moments where you've got to listen to an inane line of dialogue and respond before progressing-I do not need to ask what the goddamn three trials are the 30th time I am doing the three trials!-and there are beautiful but strangely long, unpopulated passageways everywhere you go. It's about repetition, which makes any and all forced lingering irritating. Once loaded, there's an annoyingly languid camera tilt down to show the protagonist entering the scene before you can take control, which contributed to my occasional desire to kick Sifu off a cliff. I don't know if Sifu would be possible before SSD times, because even as it stands I think it takes too long to restart a level, never mind get back to the boss fight. You might need to replay the level before that level, too, though, and at that point you may as well start from the beginning and grind out some permanent skill unlocks.Ībove: How boss fights tend to go on the first attempt. If you're struggling to beat a boss-the bloodthirsty, demonic museum owner, for instance, or the corporate CEO who hides out in a mine-one option is to give yourself more leeway by attempting to finish the previous level at a younger age. Once you've reached a level, you can restart it as many times as you want, always beginning from the lowest age at which you finished the previous level. What's more, you don't have to beat all five levels and their bosses in one run. ![]() Hey, no big deal-some of those years were probably gonna suck, right? ![]() ![]() That gives them more than 10 chances to finish their mission at the cost of blowing through their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s over a few days. Thanks to a magic talisman, the protagonist can be resurrected on the spot, which ages them by a number of years that increases every time they're slain (and decreases under certain conditions). You aren't even out of the fight when Sifu kills you (which it does frequently, if I haven't made that explicit enough).

![]() Have a very good look around the runs for any sharp edges or rough surfaces that might cause chafe. ![]() Absoultely the best thing since sliced bread is a mast track if the budget runs to it (but you will need a fully battened main for that). Good clutches and ST winches help enormously. If there are blocks in the boom for the reefing lines consider removing them on a boat of this size especially if going for downsized dyneema reefing. Look at the angle at which lines coming back present to the mast base and move deck tidys if necessary to get smooth angles (ie remove 90 bends). Personally I would have a think about whether you don't prefer single-line with thin dyneema.Īs you say the right place to start is by inspecting every sheave, making sure everything turns and runs nicely, replacing anything that looks worn or likely to cause friction. You might be able to get away with polyester and larger line if you are going for twin-line reefing. The size again is about friction reduction. We have 6mm dyneema reefing lines which are single line on reeds 1 and 2. I don't know anything about wire halyards but I think the sheave for one might have a deeper groove for the wire? If so be sure it is not roughed up by wire in any way that could snag or damage a dyneema halyard. As far as halyards go, I would stick with 10mm. I have all dyneema on my 30ft boat, mainly for size reduction and friction reduction. Probably buy from Jimmy Green or the like so it'll be decent bits of string and not cheap rubbish. Observations greatly appreciated - it's going to be a slowish project involving blowing all our cash on deck gear and blocks to start with and then doing the lines as we can over the season. The other control lines - so beefing up the kicker purchase, sorting the outhaul, cunningham and the pole lines - all pre streched polyester? Should i have dyneema for the reefing lines or can I get away with normal decent pre stretched polyester - and any thoughts about diameter again? If we have 10mm at the moment (I'm guessing) do we keep at 10mm or drop to 8mm dyneema? Or stick with polyester I'm thinking about dyneema for the genny (long run and used a lot so low stretch). Stick to wire and rope for the main or just change to cruising dyneema and if so what diameter? Do I have to change anything else like masthead sheaves if I change? It's an old fashioned sorta boat - so big old genny and a relatively small main. the main halyard is wire spliced to rope. The replacement will be coupled with taking all lines back to the cockpit and most likely reefing back as well using seperate lines and not single line. Normal halyard stuff or cruising dyneema question. Our various halyards are tired indeed - the spinny halyard is well beyond repair |
