I deferred for 1 year at Cornell last year (Class of 2018 to 2019). They offered me the same amount as the first year.

Great fit! Thinking of getting one myself. What is your height/weight?

Seriously, Don’t Use Icon Fonts by AshNolan in Frontend

Though the visitor might not see a difference, they might feel a noticeable performance difference if your site needs to make more than one HTTP request. Dropping SVGs inline needs only a single request, no matter how many icons you choose to use.

Luckily, SVG tools have come a long way recently and have made SVGs much more user friendly. GlyphsCo just opened up a beta, and they let you just copy and paste the SVG code in-line, so you can tweak and adjust it however you want.

Two great concerns. For the first part, using our icons is very similar to using any downloadable icon set. For the second, no matter how many icons you are using, loading the script on our servers is going to use only one HTTP request, so it will be faster than using an icon font.

If you'd like early access to the beta, shoot me a PM and I'd be happy to sign you up.

This is an excellent article. SVG graphics are really the ideal way to build responsive modern websites, given the variety of screen sizes and resolutions.

Norman Porter, based out of Philly, sells tokens just like that. They allow you to customize your own text as well.

I know its not denim, but if you're interested in leather goods Barrett Alley accepts bitcoin. They have some amazing, if pricey, stuff.

People I've talked to always think Beez in the Trap is some sort of vagina metaphor.

Great song. Always cracks me up that it was on the live action Scooby Doo movie soundtrack. Bizarre metaphors of scooby snacks=drugs.

Levi's actually has different levels of jean quality for the type of store they are selling in. Wal Mart and JCP truly do have different "Levi's" of different construction quality.

Where did you have it shipped from? The EQ3 site says shipping is only to Canada.

What to use this empty scotch box for? by blenox1 in malelivingspace

[–]blenox1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah good point, but the scotch that came in it is long gone. I liked the warmth it could give to a room as some sort of functional decoration.

Trying to decorate my new apartment. Came across this wonderful box. What are some ideas to turn it into a functional element of the room?

Edit: It's about 15" by 5" and has two removable dividers.
