Ok will give that a try, thanks! We cruise a lot and I always get the "bottomless bubbles" which is unlimited soda and juice. I get my money's worth with cranberry/grapefruit/pineapple-- equal parts. Tastes great AND the cranberry is pretty good for me. :)

I always just ask what their best virgin drinks are. And then I usually grab a cranberry ginger ale.

I'm right there with you. My go to fav...Cranberry, pineapple juice and club soda. Try it sometime. I was at Whiskey Cowgirl last week and 3 people asked what I was drinking, I said the bartender made me something special.

The accessibility brightness shortcut is an amazing feature, but you should still just watch the concert.

See, here's the thing: missing a concert isn't the end of the world. Sticking your phone up in front of my face and ruining the concert for me, that is not on.

I agree. At the same time, there are some concerts I couldn't attend that had pretty good fancams made of them.

I have a better LPT:
Watch the damn concert without your phone in between you and the experience. The memory beats the hell out of the saved video.
I sold my film camera in 1996 because I realised that it was getting between me and the experience.
I whip out my phone daily to capture images, but I capture experiences like concerts with my brain, not my camera.

Yes and no. It's a special case. A third cup of corn kernels would be less than a full cob, which if eaten as corn, would be just a fairly empty calorie side dish and leave you still hungry.
As popcorn, it takes up much more volume in your stomach, and can give you a feeling of being full with far less calories and carbs than similar snacks such as potato or corn chips.
In short, it's one of the healthier snacks, but still need to watch for excessive fats from popping, if you didn't pop it yourself.

I've always been a 2nd shift kind of person. Sleep and having the house to myself was amazing. It's a really nice schedule for focusing on yourself. It does mess with your social life during the week. Dating is kinda difficult.
When I did 3rd shift, I couldn't fall asleep right after work, so I'd only fall asleep around 9 or 10 am. It was tough adjusting to it, and occasionally there was something going on outside or in the house during the day that would wake me up.
Take in consideration what's going on at your place during the morning and day. 3rd shift was much easier to manage when I was in my early 20s

11-7. If you're a night owl, it's just great.

3pm-11pm is the absolute worst shift, imo. Any time you might want to do something with friends, Nope, working.
At least night shift you can be up in the afternoon/evening, go do stuff, go to work afterwards.

3rd shift is extremely hard on your body and mind. Some people love it but I always found myself wanting to sleep all the time. 2nd shift is the party shift...

Depends on the kind of social life, the meet your friends at the bar after you get out of work, or the hang out with them before you go to work kind.
3-11 is really tough on the social life but leaves time to get 8 hours of sleep and do things during the day before work, line Dr appointments or whatever. This also keeps a relatively normal sleep schedule, 12 or 1 to 8 or 9 am.
11-7 makes it easier to hang out with people before work but is hell on your sleep schedule and forces you to risk sacrificing sleep for daytime appointments or activities. Not everyone can adjust to getting good sleep during the day.
On a side note I did 7pm - 7am for a little over a year and it took just as long if not longer to fully readjust to a day shift schedule. My sleep was screwed for ages.

3-11pm so it’s less likely to screw up your sleep cycle for your days off.

I take it you have never drank Non Alcoholic beer. It tastes like shit does not give alcoholics the satisifying craving of booze.
The best one and soaring thr market right now is athletic brewing.
