Sliding Compound Miter Saw |
After years of complaining about halfwits who write at pay sites, we've decided to finally strike a blow for knowledge. We've repurposed this blog to call attention to some of these stupid people and the things they've written while in too big a hurry to make money to deal with useless crap like "facts" and "knowledge." Meet the Dumbass of the Day, people!

Whatever the case, in the interests of a short blog post today, we've found a DotD candidate with just one stupid mistake for us to mock. That does not, however, mean that Alexander Callos is not deserving of the award for his SportsRec.com post, "How to Restore a Grip to a Leather Basketball."

Amperes for the Dummy Electrician
We here at the Antisocial Network often hear complaints that scientists and technologists talk too much in "jargon." Our staffers, most of whom are scientists and technologists point out that everyone talks too much in jargon: ever listened to a business type rattle off "biz-speak"? or a social worker speaking of "empowerment" or "incarcerated persons"? Scientists are (somewhat) less likely to speak in buzzwords, but that's mainly because so many of those "jargon" words have quite specific meanings.
All this is a way of introducing one humanities type, history student Michael O. Smathers, and his failure to understand the "jargon" of physics in "Capacity of a 15 Amp Circuit [sic]"¹ at Sciencing.com...
