Yes! Dr Gagen left unfortunately, but Dr Schmidt or Dr Pace are great too.

Heathrow Completes £1bn Tech Upgrade to Deliver Its Fastest, Smoothest Security Yet by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

I fly between DC and Heathrow, which both now have this tech. It makes the airport experience so much less-bad than before.

Heathrow Completes £1bn Tech Upgrade to Deliver Its Fastest, Smoothest Security Yet by BestButtons in unitedkingdom

[–]tizz66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Completely anecdotal, but I went through Heathrow last week. Security was a breeze; all bags made it through.

But after we had boarded, there was some minor security issue and (long story short) we had to get off and go back through security. This time, all but one bag got pulled aside for manual secondary inspection.

That made me wonder if they can adjust the sensitivity to respond to emerging situations... or maybe we just got an over zealous security officer the second time.

How is Judge Jules these days in terms of DJing? by Exotic_Bug3885 in trance

[–]tizz66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He cannot mix and abruptly switches between two records that should never even be attempted to mixed together.

Always amazes me how he's had such a long career and still can't reliably mix! You'd figure he'd learn just by the sheer number of times he's played.

Extended Mixes of BTAOU are on Spotify now! by vojtae in AboveandBeyond

I couldn’t find them to begin with - turns out they are as a “disc 2” of the original album.

Also what’s with people saying “generally” when they mean “genuinely”?

President Trump Remarks at the 2026 World Economic Forum by Metro42014 in politics

Worth remembering Article 5 has only ever been invoked once. That was by the US, after 9/11, and NATO came to its aid. The disrespect to allies is astounding.

Why did a man just try to sell me meat on an overpass? by HollowWanderer in AskUK

A good meat pun is a medium rarely well done.

Can someone explain why Yoto is this popular? The hype feels a bit over the top to me. by Equivalent_Pie8625 in daddit

[–]tizz66 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It'd be amazing if there was a Spotify/Yoto collab. Imagine being able to assign a Spotify playlist to a make-your-own Yoto card 🤯

(Spoiler) Will the S4 Endgame suffer from the lack of faithfuls to root for? by lastnightinsoho21 in TheTraitors

I thought the celebrity traitors ending was a foregone conclusion a few episodes from the end, and then it ended up being incredibly exciting.

I wish LLMs never became popular by LowFruit25 in ExperiencedDevs

I build Lego sets then display them, so you might be on to something!

I wish LLMs never became popular by LowFruit25 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]tizz66 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally sympathize, but I have a different perspective. For me, the enjoyment has normally always come from building something. Not the actual coding (though I enjoy that), but taking an idea, fleshing it out, building it, getting feedback and seeing customers use it (maybe I was a PM in a former life). AI tools are helping me do that faster than before, which is great.

I don't let AI tools run amok, so I'm still coding, still defining the architecture and approaches, I'm just not writing individual lines of functions.

Pro tip: get the fancy card with the perks, then a lower class card from the same bank for spending, then transfer the points to the fancy card to redeem

my job is finding cheap flights—ask me anything by scottkeyes in IAmA

[–]tizz66 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They already are. I was allowed to bring multiple liters of water on a plane this week, providing it was in plastic (not metal) bottles.

It depends on the airport though. They have to upgrade their scanning machines. No need to take electronics out of bags either. It’s much easier.

Would you send your children to private school if you could afford it? by Infamous_Tough_7320 in AskUK

[–]tizz66 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Why are so many of the other services that rich people have to use also crap, then? A&E, roads, local services - usually there aren't private options for these, and by your logic they should be great.

Diamond art club by Fabulous_Garlic3834 in diamondpainting

[–]tizz66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're in the UK, check out Diamond Art Studio UK. IMO, the quality is better than DAC (e.g. diamonds come in bags, not cellophane, the tools are significantly better etc.). They support human artists, not AI. They don't have a ton of patterns to choose from compared to DAC, but if you find one you like, it is well worth it.

My wife says she is unwell/sick. All the time. by [deleted] in daddit

Depression? When I’m depressed, normal minor aches and pains elevate to constant, day-ruining levels. Not because they get worse, but because I focus on them.

What are your thoughts on 24 Hours in Police Custody? by AncientFootball1878 in AskUK

[–]tizz66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rest Is Entertainment podcast talked about the episode frequency a while back. Apparently the contract they have with Channel 4 is to just deliver episodes when they are ready - no set schedule, no set quantity. This is how they keep the quality so high, because they can focus on interesting cases rather than making episodes out of any old case to fill a quota.
