On Windows 11, used to be if you enabled widgets in the task bar, you could set it to show the weather right there in the taskbar. It was real nice and handy for quickly checking the temperature! Then my computer upgraded and it's been replaced with a generic widget icon, and nothing i do seems to be able to get it to show weather back on the taskbar - I now have to click it to (slowly) load up all the widgets I don't give a poo poo about solely so I can see the weather. Oh well, frees up a bit more taskbar space, I guess!

Yeah okay, like that's in addition to treating yourself to nutritious food and making time to exercise your body and reading guilty pleasure stuff. It meaning only that was what threw me off since I've heard it in many contexts where that would be super weird, i.e. corporate wellness emails.

Trying to get an appointment at a new doctor or dentist is a 3 to 6 month wait for anyone who has good ratings. Also insurance charges much more if you need to go to urgent care or the ER.

I'm also annoyed by places that have online scheduling and then have someone call back to actually make the appointment. What's the point of having it online?

I think medical businesses are what happens when a business knows it's a business but also knows it doesn't have to really care about convenience. What you want to make an appointment online in 2024? Lol, no. What you want our interconnected software to actually mean something and not be asked the same drat question about smoking/vaping/drinking again? Hey it was a no early this month, and I'm getting a liver biopsy and while I realize you still have to ask, it's kind of annoying. We'll also take like 3 months or whatever to bill you, we'll give you 30 days.

Anyway the system sucks and I have to get up at like 7 to get to me 8am liver biopsy. gently caress. Maybe they do them later in the day I don't know I just couldn't be bothered to ask.

I hate when technology just makes things worse, not because it has to but because it isn't implemented in a way to improve your experience. Dentist now uses a tablet for the paperwork. Fine great whatever. I do not know my social, I skipped the box, it wouldn't let me continue. The receptionist filled it in with 0s. Glad I got to put in something sort of resembling a human signature though. The paperwork for my liver specialist is now online, great, ohhhhhhhh you made it a lot longer didn't you?

For real.

In a related complaint, the other day I heard the term "glaze" in the context of just any other term to describe a wholesome moment where someone hyped up someone else. It's pretty astounding to me that the Internet facilitates linguistic memery at such a rate that like a year after it's first use the origin of such a term is so wholly forgotten that I've heard people of all ages use it without a second thought. It's kinda like how everyone reacts with "nice" to 69 as force of habit but with no acknowledgement of what it means.

Disney+ streaming terms mean lawsuit after LI doc Kanokporn Tangsuan's food allergy death must be tossed, Disney says

quote:

Disney has asked a Florida court to dismiss a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the husband of a Carle Place physician who suffered a fatal allergic reaction after eating at a Disney Springs restaurant.

The company cited legal language agreed to years earlier when Jeffrey Piccolo, widower of Kanokporn Tangsuan, 42, of Plainview, signed up for a one-month trial of the Disney+ streaming service that requires users to arbitrate all disputes with the company, records show.
...
Piccolo, who is seeking damages in excess of $50,000 pursuant to Florida’s wrongful death act, as well as mental pain and suffering, loss of income and companionship, and medical and funeral expenses, declined to comment on the Disney filing.

In its motion, Disney said that Piccolo established his account with Disney by signing up for a Disney+ trial account on his PlayStation in 2019 and in September 2023 used his account under the "My Disney Experience" app to purchase tickets to Epcot. Tangsuan died before they could use the tickets.

In both instances, Disney said, Piccolo was notified that by clicking “Agree & Continue” he was accepting the company’s “subscriber agreement,” which includes the arbitration language.

I feel like they're putting their terms of service at risk with this. Seems like it wouldn't be worth it but what do I know I'm a sane person who thinks terms of services as are mostly used these days are bullshit.

I think so long as the person understands the terms front and center in big bold letters, it can be used. Most of these with weird poo poo that is buried gets tossed. Im a level 78 google expert.

Almost certainly not. There's like 230 countries on Earth. What are the odds Disney is located in the one where businesses have more rights than people?
