... all bad.
Bad as in "not to your tastes" or bad as in "seriously technically flawed"?
Taste/objectionability is orthogonal to technical prowess/lack thereof, you see -- someone might like a crude drawing style for a certain work, perhaps due to its content, or might be severely repulsed by a work's content in spite of it being quite a technically competent, or even technically accomplished, work.

This is blakeyrat you're talking to. "not to your tastes" is the same thing as "seriously technically flawed".

"not to @blakeyrat's tastes" is the

Status: WebEx interview was supposed to start 20 minutes ago. I was the first, and so far, only, person to join the meeting.
-
That means you win! Congratulations on the new job.

It turns out the manager is sick today, but nobody bothered to let me know. At least I now have all the WebEx stuff installed and ready to go for next time. Now, if I can just get Windows and my webcam to play nice together...

@PJH said:
Your people pronounce Craig bottom as Creg fanny.
Nobody in the US uses either of those words.
I use "bottom". Primarily when referencing the opposite of "top", though sometimes in the case that @PJH seems to be indicating while speaking with my children. Otherwise I tend to use "butt" or "ass". I don't know anyone who uses "fanny" on a regular basis.

I use ass to cover all of those cases. Things don't have a "top" and "bottom", they have a "top" and "ass-end".
I mean duh.

Deep fried B, LT plus after that fries were probably not the best idea on a night I already feel extra sleepy due to poor sleep the night before.

Discourse took an afternoon nap?
Can I take one too?
I did. After the interview that wasn't, I was having trouble keeping my eyes open while reading TDWTF, despite tea, so I went and took a nap. I thought I might not actually fall asleep, because caffeine; instead, I crashed hard for like 3 hours.

HOLY SHIT I just realized the premise of Torchwood is "inverse X-Files" and now I feel dumb for not noticing it earlier.

That's OK, later, you can feel dumb all over again for watching all the stupid plots.
-
as in "nothing strange happens"?
No; the show follows the shady government agency with zero morals that handles, incompetently, strange happenings.
-
Holy shit season 4 of Torchwood is fucking awful. British people trying to act American are the WORST.
EDIT: and somehow the music in it got EVEN WORSE. Jesus.

Next, Dresden Codak.
oooh! htat is a good one! the early strips are highly episodic, but the two story arcs are incredible!
Up to date with Dresden Codak. Frankly, I was completely unimpressed with anything prior to the start of "Dark Science." The start of that story was like it suddenly transformed into a completely different, and much better, comic.
-

Snort. I was waiting for this.
They left a big-ass cliffhanger but there was never a season 5.

Yet. It's the BBC. They'll either do a new season in a few years, or start the whole thing up again in a few decades.
-
Could be, but the show was put on indefinite hiatus/suspension after that season ended.
Miracle Day was an awful story, and that kind of thing does tend to kill a show, even if not officially.

I have the same problem.

Guessing from what kind of thing might ask that, round up is probably what they want you to do. But without a spec round down is also valid.

That seems like a pretty tenuous reason to buy an ipad.

It seem both guys just obliviously coded away on their local copies, not committing anything. So now, there are a bunch of conflicts and they are expecting Cartman's magic merge wand to save them yet again.
Well fuck you, it's your mess, you fix it.

Once again, my rule of “if it isn't committed and pushed, it doesn't exist” fits the bill. Nobody cares what you do
in your headon your local machine, it's what you show to others that counts.

No. It's so bad it's unwatchable to me. I watch movies like Robot Monster and The Apple for fun and I couldn't get further in than about 3 episodes.
What really bugged me is that joke about everybody assuming the airplane steward was gay because... he liked wearing a tie? I guess? Haha? Then in the next episode Captain Jack goes out for anonymous gay sex and there's no judgement about it at all. They keep making these "haha America" jokes which are so fucking stupid. They get picked up at the airport in a Mini and there's this excruciating joke about how Americans all drive SUVs. (Of course in previous seasons, they drove a huge SUV with plastic shit glued to it.)
That's actually two extremely hypocritical jokes just off the top of my head. Hm.
Oh and it was written by Russell Davies the Doctor Who guy. Hm. Oh look at his IMDB page, he also wrote most of the worst episodes of NuWho. (And also most of season 1, which weren't awful.) Is this guy the Doctor Who universe's Rick Berman?

I literally gave up even trying to use it. Discourse vs. Windows Phone, Discourse won.

Status: There was a Minecraft mod I really wanted on my server, but it didn't work. So I got set up to do Minecraft mod development, cloned his repo, and fixed it. I want to know how the flip he even managed to export a JAR when his code was calling Collection methods that literally don't exist.
Then I found two other mods I wanted (saddle and nametag crafting recipes), they didn't work, and recreated them from scratch in about five minutes. I don't understand how they got that wrong because it was less than ten lines of code to accomplish.
Minecraft modding, as if I needed yet another time sink in my life.

The guy behind the show loved gay people. Half the people in Torchwood are
gaywill tap anything that moves and have anonymous bareback sex and nobody has a care in the world about it.When he was running Doctor Who he did that too but not as much. I think he thinks it's still the 1950s and shocking the bourgeoisie is still avant garde.
There's a 10th doctor episode where a woman's married to a catguy. (The makeup or CGI is pretty bad. I'm guessing the former because the BBC never has big budgets, historically, for its shows). It's very silly, but she got pregnant and had a litter of cats. (I may have the species backwards.) Everything Davies does is so tongue-in-cheek you expect him to have holes in his face.
ETA: Ah, you discovered Davies, the common link.
