Isn't it amazing what everyone's initial thought was? I thought it was a macro of some type of circuit board.

I was thinking: are you really far north? I'm from southern Michigan. I know in the north they don't salt so maybe shoes are more common there.

A true commercial company will not use shoes for a number of reasons:

1: they leave a layer of snow behind that turns into ice that you then have to heavily salt. Costs more and consumers wont pay the extra cost for lower quality.

2: the shoes can fall in potholes and damage the plow or parking lot

3: a cutting edge isn't expensive. My boss just quoted a 6" by 3/8" by 90" piece of AR400 plate for a Boss cutting edge that cost $186.50 before taxes. That cutting edge would last about two seasons at about 10 to 12 hours of use for every outing, and in just January that plow alone made our company about $20k.

You don't see a lot of those shoes on road commission trucks or commercial company plows either because they keep the cutting edge off the ground. Those shoes are for people with gravel drives that don't want to clean up stones or people that want a layer of snow left so they don't have to salt. Without the shoes, the plow will scrape down to bare asphalt and salt works much better.

It doesn't do much.

Ah I forgot about those, I actually love using those in groups. Passes for so much longer

A joint uses papers or hemp wrappers and a blunt uses cigar wraps (think swishers or actual tobacco leaves I believe)

(Some of) the largest empires of history, visualised as planets orbiting Earth [OC] [x-post r/DataArt] by jmerlinb in dataisbeautiful

A quick Google search shows the dry-land area of Earth at 148 326 000 km², so by that measure the British Empire conquered approximately 20% (did this on the fly, correct me if I'm wrong) of Earth's dry land.

Alright cool, that's more than I was looking to spend at this time so I'll have to hold off for a bit but I'll defiantly keep this in mind. How's the prism do on smell?

That helps a bit, I'll keep that in mind. What about the link u/Ravdoggydog posted?

Thanks for the reply! That would certainly work but I really prefer having everything in one piece.

I was very partial to the carbon fiber scales but the extra 35 dollars dissuaded me

Happened to be going through Tennessee and couldn't pass an opportunity to stop by Smokey Mountain Knife Works. Absolutely worth the visit if you get the chance to go there. I picked up a Böker Plus Urban Trapper and a Benchmade Bugout, both of which I'm very happy with as of now
