What are some good resources to learning Windows Server 2016?

Planet Fitness question

[philstar22]

So, I'm going to join Planet Fitness. The price seems reasonable and not too much to fork out every month. The thing is, I'm not sure whether to go with the regular plan or the black plan or whatever that upper level one is called.

Both have the 39$ annual fee. The regular plan has a $29 startup fee and then is $10 every month. The Black plan has a $1 startup fee and then a $21 monthly fee. The Black plan would be 18.35 up front right now and then 21ish every month. The regular plan would be 35 up front and then only 10 a month. If the black plan really is better, that seems like a better deal. And, TBH, I've spent a bit more than I should have this month, so having less up front now would be helpful.

Has anyone done the black plan? Are the extra things worth it?

Weird anxiety/OCD trigger relating to friends - need advice?

[(Anonymous)]

This gets a little bit tl;dr.

I have undiagnosed anxiety and/or OCD. Anyway, I went a very long time without having many friends. I used to blame high schhool bullies for "breaking" me a bit, but honestly, I think my anxiety had more to do with it than I realized. Long story short, I got tired of only having 1-2 friends at a time, and made a few more friends through effort.

The problem is that my OCD/anxiety/whatever the hell it is has decided to play mind games with me. The inner armchair psychologist in me says it's probably also a fear of losing everything I've finally gotten, trala trala. Sometimes I say things, and I can't get over how DUMB it was. Or I'll ask someone a question, they don't respond, and I'll be worried I said something I shouldn't have. I overthink everything. Is there any way to counteract this? There HAVE been times when I can logically see why someone might be offended, or when I said something I shouldn't have, but I don't know when it's legit and when it's anxiety/OCD playing mind games.

Anyone?

Got the contract on my house

[kaijinscendre]

The contract says to close 'before or on October 1st'. What is a polite and not crazy way to ask when the soonest they can move out is? I hate the house we are renting and just want to be out ASAP.

Should I be worried?- allergic reactions

[philstar22]

This is really late, so no one may see this. But I had an allergy shot today, and it is really red and irritated around the injection site and for a large area. It is a giant circle that goes almost halfway around my arm. I was a week late on the shot, and I was an hour late in taking the antihistimine.

My question is, should I be worried? Is there anything I need to do besides antihistimines? Should I return to the doctor?

Weekend Plans?

[kaijinscendre]

What is everyone doing this weekend?

I am hopefully doing NOTHING. Except for grocery shopping and cleaning the house. Just want to relax.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[philstar22]

Sleep. Dear god, sleep. Been an amazingly long week. First full full-time week, gave a speech, started back with physical therapy and Spanish, and a whole lot of other things. I need to get my nails done because I have a networking next week, and in Texas nice nails seem to be important. But other than that, a lot of sleep.

I will probably watch something, but I have no idea what. I've been talking about Babylon 5 and G'Kar with some people on Facebook, and that has given me the urge to rewatch that. But I'm in the middle of a Doctor Who rewatch and have also recently started watching 12 Monkeys. So it will be one or more of those, but not entirely sure yet which.

I'm going to a party tomorrow night. I've been baking a cake to take to it. :)

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm off work this weekend and spending the time with my husband. We're going to spend tomorrow at our new favorite sports bar and probably doing brunch Sunday. The rest of the time will probably be movie watching and just being lazy. I'm really looking forward to it!

It's my university's open day and I'm volunteering. I have to stand at a booth and tell kids about law school, and in return I get a free hoodie.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

Reading, writing, probably some TV, and sleep.

Re: Weekend Plans?

[(Anonymous)]

If I wake up early enough, I'm gonna go for a long bike ride. I haven't ridden my bike in a few months and I'm starting to gain weight again, so I really need to do something about it.

Fandom Mishaps

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone got any stories? Got a canon fact hilariously wrong? Accepted a headcanon so fully that you forgot how things actually went down in canon?

Or ig RL accidents count too – accidentally emailed that fanfic link to the wrong person, stuff like that.

What internet "hacks" do you actually use?

[(Anonymous)]

Can be anything. Real life stuff or internet.

Rant threads

[philstar22]

For all your rant needs, fandom or otherwise.

What lies have you told that have benefited you?

Is this weird?

[(Anonymous)]

I have two coworkers who are married. The woman had a kid from a previous marriage. They never planned on having any other kids. Well, the woman's daughter died and left her with their 2yo grandson. I am not 100% clear on all the details but the grandson is a bit delayed because of his mother's drug abuse.

The husband is super stressed and not happy about this (he never wanted kids). They occasionally get another co-worker to babysit him on weekends.

I've only been working here for a year. I talk to the husband probably 2-3 times a week. Just work stuff that take a couple minutes. I rarely see or talk to the wife (she is in another department).

How weird would it be to offer to watch their kid for them every now and again?

What is the biggest culture shock experience you have ever felt?

[(Anonymous)]

What is the most bullshit thing you've had to deal with?

[(Anonymous)]

I had to get some medicine for my face. Find out my insurance doesn't cover it and it will be $70. Call the doctor to switch it to something my insurance will cover. Go back in. They bring a bottle that is 1/4 the size of the first one and tell me it will be $40 WITH insurance.

I got the bigger bottle.
