Would anyone recommend paying £130 for the 'SQL from A to Z' course on learnsql.com?

It claims to cover enough SQL to cover all the basics, as well as some other advanced stuff. It says it should take the average learner 119 hours to complete the entire thing. I was mainly looking for a course that provides rigorous practise because I dont learn from just watching and not coding, and this one seems like it has hundreds of practise problems which is the true metric for the value of a course for me personally.

Has anyone actually done this course yet? If so, id love to know if it was worth it. I am a complete beginner in SQL, I've only ever done Python and C++.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

AIO Gf compared me to her ex

Been together 1.5 years. Both 23 years old.

My gf brought up how her best friend was 'weirded out' by the fact that her bf (me) doesn't actively comment on her instagram posts. My gf knows that its because I come from a Muslim family (and so does she), so if I comment on her (public) profile, my family is bound to find it. She said that according to this friend, I show a lack of effort since I dont create a second account to do that and how much it would mean to my gf.

Anyway, I defend myself by reiterating the family point. Gf keeps arguing with me about it, eventually we both give up and she starts playing a game (we are on face time). And then she brings up out of nowhere:

'Before I say this, I just wanna say how much I appreciate you and how amazing you are. I dont mean to make comparisons between anyone. My friend actually brought up the instagram comments thing because she remembered how my ex used to make fake accounts just to comment, like and up my view counts on my instagram just so I don't feel disheartened. When she brought that up, it made me think back to that and I got emotional'.

I felt pretty upset. I left the call on a semi sour note because I was too upset to talk and pretend like everything is fine. She calls me again like 20 mins later, I tell her my concerns. She says 'I wasn't comparing', 'my friend is the one who brought it up', 'im tired I can't keep defending', she said sorry but it was more like a 'OKAY im sorry' rather than a genuine apology. The reason I felt more upset by this was because about a year ago she literally texted this man saying that she'll never get over him, and she was on the verge of ending it with me.

I told her i can't talk tonight because I'm upset and its weighing on my mind. Did I overreact? Am I being upset over nothing?
