So, I have a very good understanding of basic physics. I have a very good ability to critically think. I am, what I would consider, educated and intelligent.
And there was a time in my life when I googled "double male cord" because my snow-blower has a female plug for the electric start that is supposed to go to a converter box specifically sold by the company, and I lost it and didn't want to pay $100 for a new one.
Had I not paused and thought twice, I absolutely could've purchased one without thinking, or made one myself.
I guess what I'm trying to get at is, people can be stupid, even if they're smart.
- armada651 4y agoI think that just underlines his point though, you started going down that path and then had the ability pause and think critically for a moment.
- jrwoodruff 4y agoHad the knowledge too though. Many people lack the knowledge of how things work, as well as the inclination to stop and think before acting.
- micromacrofoot 4y agoSometimes even smart people might forget to pause.
- ThrowawayIP 4y agoWhoever green lit the decision to use a female NEMA plug plus a specific converter box should be banned from product design. It would have probably been fractional cents more expensive to use a male plug on the snow blower.
- whatshisface 4y agoIf you plugged your double cord into the snowblower and never unplugged it, it wouldn't be that unsafe.
