"News at 11" also happened. When I was growing up there would be 'upcoming news' alerts during commerical breaks which would basically amount to "We got poo poo to report on, the news is at 11." (Well, 11/10/whatever the hell time your personal news was.)

It's not a case where one is right or wrong but both happened at different times and so people remember them differently depending on age/demographic/whatever.

You know how people say "I could care less" or "for all intensive purposes?"

Yeah.

Here we would say "More at 11" because between 8 and 9 there would be a 20 second read of the headlines in one of the ad breaks, and the phrase was to let you know those headlines would be expanded upon during the actual nightly news show. But I guess regional and temporal differences in the sting of late night news is exactly the same as an eggcorn.

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I started to write a post about whether or not Present-day Cyke being dead means that Young Cyke is sort of dead too but just hasn't caught up to it yet, but then I started to try and unravel what pulling the Young X-men into the future and leaving them there means to the timeline and now I have a nosebleed.

It didn't actually change anything about he past, did it? Like everyone still remembers all the stuff that happened after they were boosted forward, even if they never get the chance to do that now?

No, they are more or less split from the timeline completely at this point.

Unless you are literally being paid to do so, it is not worth the trouble to make sense of the X-men timelines. Just assume everything is more or less ok until and unless the writer at that moment is telling you otherwise.

You're assuming the young people pulled forward are from the same universe as the older X-men.

So I was looking for a drop cloth online and apparently I'm an idiot for using it to prevent paint spills, you should use it to make weird house umbrellas and curtains:

Wow! This is a lot of canvas fabric! I'm using them to make curtains. So I washed and dried them as suggested from a previous review. They come out a lot smaller. But still plenty of material for what I need. Now I ironed one drop cloth for 2 hours if that tells you anything! I'm going to paint them and line them. We'll see how it goes.

(blah blah use it as a tarp attached to a house)


5.0 out of 5 starsTe perfect drop cloth to use as a tablecloth
ByE. KIRKHAMon March 13, 2017

I love this drop cloth. I have purchased many drop cloths to use as outdoor tablecloths for winery events and this one is the best by far. It is medium weight (10 ounces) so not as heavy as some of the others that I've purchased. The seam runs length wise, evenly down the middle. It is stitched with a reddish brown thread which I like. It makes a nice decorative detail on the "tablecloth." The hems are likewise stitched with the same thread. This is the most stylish cloth we've found. I'm purchasing these for all of our outdoor tables.

I looked for it on GIS for awhile and could not locate it (but I found its source, which is not funny in particular).
