![]() Reduce heat if needed, so the chicken does not over-brown or stick to the pan. Cook until nicely browned on all sides and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Add the chicken, shaking any access cornstarch off the chicken. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In a large Ziploc bag, combine chicken and 1/3 cup corn starch.On low heat, simmer until thickened, whisking frequently. In a small saucepan, combine pineapple juice, garlic, water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch.Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.Hence this recipe makes an awesome first meal, but it is not great for leftovers unless you plan accordingly and separate the pineapple from the chicken. If using fresh pineapple, be aware it contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down protein.I love pineapple, but it can quickly overpower this dish, so don’t get carried away.Therefore do not mix it all together until you are ready to eat. This dish should be served immediately so the chicken and peppers remain crunchy and crisp.For a little kick, add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.Or try chopped carrots or thick mushroom slices.Use fresh bell peppers and, when seasonably possible fresh pineapple.Cook the sweet and sour sauce until it is slightly thickened, as it will thicken more upon cooling.Cut your chicken into small bite-size pieces so that they cook all way through when browned.Just adjust accordingly, knowing that you should cook just what you will consume for that meal or put a certain amount aside for leftovers with the pineapple separated. That does mean that you should not cook with fresh pineapple. This is perfect for a short-term marinade but not so great sitting right next to the chicken in the glad ware container. Pineapple contains the enzyme bromelain, which breaks down protein. It looked good, and it smelled good, but something weird happened to your meal. Instead, you pull it out of the refrigerator, nuke it in the microwave, and put it in your mouth, and the texture is awful. Have you ever made a recipe with fresh pineapple and chicken or pork, and packed the leftovers in the fridge with the intent of enjoying the meal a second time? After all, it was so delicious. How to store leftoversĮveryone loves fresh pineapple. Serve over cooked rice or Chinese noodles. Gently stir to combine and heat until warmed. Add the sauce, pineapple, crushed red pepper, and salt to taste. Reduce the heat to low and add the chicken back to the pan with peppers and onions. Cook the onions and peppers until slightly tender. Remove the chicken to a plate while you cook the vegetables.Īdd a little more oil to the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken shaking any excess cornstarch off the chicken.

On low heat, simmer until slightly thickened. In a small saucepan, combine the pineapple juice, garlic, water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, ketchup, and cornstarch. How to Make Sweet and Sour Chicken Recipe ![]() I add just a couple of pinches of crushed red pepper, which balances the sweetness of the pineapple perfectly and adds just a touch of pizzazz. The sauce is full of flavor and is not overly sweet, which is perfect for bringing out the natural sweetness of the onions and peppers. The chicken has a nice mellow crunch to it and is moist and tender on the inside. The chicken pieces are pan-fried, so this recipe does not require any deep frying. This scrumptious recipe is one of our favorite stir-fries. ![]()

This type of thing happens on OpenSea too with the addition of low fee and fee-less chains like Polygon. It won't stop all of them, but it will definitely help. This will prevent them from being able to send you another scam offer from this account. But do this too.įirst tell em to fuck off, politely of course. What a gift! So what should you do when you get an offer like this? Obviously don't accept it. YOU DO NOT RECEIVE ANYTHING FROM THIS OFFER!Īnd they do this all fucking day for different amounts of NFTs.Īgain the message attached is "You have been offered 1220 WAX." This one even says you'll receive a gift from the market! Sweet, so you steal 3000 WAX worth of my NFTs and I get nothing. The good thing is that AtomicHub recognizes this and warns you only to accept if you want to gift the NFTs to the person offering. The problem is that you can create empty trade offers. Basically I have NFT A and you have NFT B, we can create a trade offer and swap. AtomicHub has a feature that allows users to trade NFTs. How does someone scam people with Trade offers? First - you need to understand what trade offers are. This even happens with Trade offers, which is even crazier. But it literally says "DO NOT ACCEPT ANY OFFERS I AM A FUCKING SCAMMER =)" Maybe someone got control of the bot? I dunno. Right here - on chain you can see this account admitting they are a scammer. The blockchain doesn't lie, so let's check out these accounts. Just pay attention to the offers you receive. ![]() Even someone new to WAX or crypto in general could easily fall for this. It's a false sense of trust in hopes to get you to click that accept offer button. As if they are protecting you by including that in the message. The truly disgusting thing about it is the message also says to "Be careful". ![]() The scammer is trying to convince the offer receiver that they are going to get 440 WAX and that the tiny amount is just the fee. Be careful, click Accept only from original account - marketplaces." Clearly if I accept the offer, they get my valuable NFT and I get 0.000095 WAX, or a whopping $0.003. You will also receive and extra 0.000095 WAX fee paid by the buyer. The attached message says " You have been offered 440.0 WAX. The scam part comes in when you read the message attaches to the offers.Īs you can see above, I received an offer for 0.000095 WAX for one of my pretty rare Alien Worlds NFTs. But it could be some sad fuck in a basement doing this all day. Then they blast out offers of 0.000000001 WAX or something similar to different valuable NFTs. So how does someone scam you by offering you money for your NFT?įirst they load a very tiny amount of WAX into their wallet. I'm sure it's happening a lot low fee chains as well. This doesn't go to say it doesn't happen on other blockchains, though. ![]() With transaction fees being non-existent on WAX, they can send these scam transactions nonstop (as long as they have WAX staked for CPU & RAM). It's honestly disgusting but it is literally happening all day every day. So how does this turn into scamming? I'll show you. How can someone be scamming if they are offering to buy your NFT? Even if they lowball the offer, they are still making an offer, therefore not scamming. You might be confused, so let's check it out. I'm talking about trade and buy offer scammers. I'm not talking about people creating and selling fake versions of NFTs. If you collect NFTs like me, you've probably dealt with your fair share of scammers. ![]() ![]() Įnergy drinks have emerged as a key dietary supplement to enhance athletic performance, particularly in the acute consumption, with the effects of caffeine and taurine being the most studied in several different sports. However, they should never be considered as a substitute for a healthy diet. Dietary supplements can play an important role in helping athletes achieve an ideal intake of calories and nutrients. The use of dietary supplements is widespread throughout the general population, but it takes on particular importance for those who practice sports and their consumption by athletes corresponds to a significant proportion of their sales. This includes aids that may benefit individuals when exercising, increase the efficiency of the exercise and/or improve subsequent recovery. Regarding physical exercise, energy drinks form part of training prioritization in terms of the physical qualities to condition, nutritional practices, pharmacological approach or psychological techniques that can improve training adaptations and/or the output of the exercise. No countries restrict or place age limits on the consumption and sale of energy drinks, so they are readily accessible to all populations and ages. This type of drink has gained particular prominence, as evidenced by its consumption by various demographic groups, with and without risks of disease, such as youths, workers, students, professional athletes, amateur athletes, and nightlife revelers. Energy drinks have a high caffeine content which is normally combined with large amounts of vitamins, minerals, taurine, amino acids, and different mixtures of phytochemicals. It is necessary to differentiate between energy drinks and traditional beverages (coffee, tea, isotonic, hypotonic and hypertonic sports drinks, and soft drinks such as cola). Their consumption has increased exponentially as they have gained in popularity and it has now become a multibillion-dollar industry. Energy drinks first appeared in Austria in 1987 with a well-known brand and erupted across the globe over the following years. The aim of this literature review, therefore, is to present the results of recent studies, classifying them according to the differences in the associations between energy drinks and: (i) Athletic performance (ii) cardiovascular risk factors while practicing sports and (iii) genetic associations and future prospects between the consumption of energy drinks and performance.Įnergy drinks first made their appearance in Europe and Asia in 1960. A potential positive correlation between genetics and the moderate consumption of energy drinks and athletic performance has recently been reported notwithstanding, a better understanding of the genetic variants involved in metabolism is a key area for future research to optimize the dose of energy drink consumed and obtain the maximal ergogenic effect in elite sports. However, apart from their ergogenic effects, the regular consumption of energy drinks also increases blood pressure and consequently incites problems such as hypertension, tachycardia, and nervousness, all of which can lead to cardiovascular disorders. Numerous studies have shown that drinking moderate doses of such drinks produces beneficial effects, as they considerably boost the sporting performance of elite athletes in various sports, including both endurance and explosive events. ![]() ![]() The consumption of energy drinks (e.g., containing caffeine and taurine) has increased over the last decade among adolescents and athletes to enhance their cognitive level and improve intellectual and athletic performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pidgeot appeared in several trailers of The Rise of Darkrai.He even stated that it was more loyal than Charizard.

It reunites with Ash and Pikachu as the flock of Pidgey and Pidgeotto had appeared to see them and Ash states that its flock had grown so much. In Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!, Pidgeot appears in Ash's flashback as a Pidgeotto where it warmed up Ash along with Pikachu, Squirtle, Bulbasaur and Charmander while being stranded inside the cave during a blizzard.Īfter a really, really long absence, Pidgeot reappeared before Ash in the Viridian Forest to rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket using Wing Attack to break the net, allowing Pikachu to blast them away with Thunderbolt. However, it's possible Ash came back some time around and decided to leave Pidgeot in the wild for a while. Although Ash promises to come back, Pidgeot hadn't appeared throughout the entire series. It is last seen flying with a flock of wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto in the sunset. Ash released his Pidgeot to protect the Pidgeotto and Pidgey promising to come back for it after he delivered the GS Ball. Pidgeot teams up with all the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto to attack Fearow multiple times making the latter flying away in fear. When the Fearow was weak, Ash tried to catch it, but failed to do so. It demonstrates its powerful Gust and Quick Attack on Fearow followed by Pikachu's Thunderbolt to weaken it. Pidgeot allows Ash and Pikachu to be mounted by it to stop Fearow. As Pidgeotto was desperate to save all the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto from Fearow, it suddenly evolved into a Pidgeot. He let his Pidgeotto to convince all of the wild Pidgey and Pidgeotto to fly away and it succeeds and Fearow arrives to stop them from flying away as it attacks Pidgeotto and was hurt. Ash manages to use Team Rocket as bait to be chased by Fearow and its flock. With Pikachu's Thunder Shock, Ash lands on the same tree where Team Rocket had landed. Ash was later attacked by a Fearow who leads a flock of Spearow and is the same Spearow that Ash wanted to catch it at the start of his journey who is now evolved into a very ferocious form. After Team Rocket is blasted off by Charizard, Ash and the group were heading to the Orange Islands to bring the GS Ball back to Professor Oak as requested on the way. It was used to slash Team Rocket's Meowth Balloon with its Quick Attack to stop them from escaping with Pikachu, but Team Rocket had a backup balloon to escape.

But weakening your security posture on purpose because you're concerned that people might be watching too much Youtube on their work machines when working remotely sounds like an HR issue and not a technical issue. Again, this isn't to discount the cost constraint, or the load placed on the server. You're paying for twice the bandwidth for the same stream if you send it over VPN, but maybe your users don't need to be streaming in the first place, depending on your organizational policies. If you're concerned about loads from streaming by VPN users, you probably just generally need to be concerned about loads from streaming. Essentially that compromised laptop becomes a pivot point from the internet into the trusted segment, bypassing the perimeter defenses.

Lawsuits for RICO can quickly become frivolous - and be used to put Taxpayers in a state of fear. 2d 346 (1985).Ī more expansive view holds that in order to be found guilty of violating the RICO statute, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that an enterprise existed (2) that the enterprise affected interstate commerce (3) that the defendant was associated with or employed by the enterprise (4) that the defendant engaged in a pattern of racketeering activity and (5) that the defendant conducted or participated in the conduct of the enterprise through that pattern of racketeering activity through the commission of at least two acts of racketeering activity as set forth in the indictment.
