There's different strategies and tactics to protesting. It creates a different vibe that can come across with a more unified and singular message if people only show up carrying the American flag instead of a bunch of different signs. It also avoids certain tactics that can be used to discredit the protest.
I've had cops come around to check out what they could when I was living with roommates and we had all kinds of equipment that used lots of electricity. We actually got a letter from the power company telling us we were in the 99th percentile of residential power use and to consider how much money we could save if we lowered our electricity useage. I'm sure if the cops saw anything they could construe as evidence when they were snooping around they would then easily get a warrant and do a raid.
There is no law forcing Nvidia to require accounts to download drivers. I literally just downloaded Nvidia drivers a few days ago without needing an account.
I didn't keep track of them, but I've only ever tried to fix blatant mistakes like typos and misspellings. The most recent was several years ago, I think 2020 or 2021. If you want to see it happen find a typo and try to fix it.
I've tried multiple times over the years and had the same experience. As far as I can tell Wikipedia is dominated by a weird clique of power tripping dicks. If you're not in the clique they will revert anything you do, even fixing really blatant and obvious typos or misspellings will get reverted.
I remember losing track of time watching it on TV and my boss called all pissed off. Rush to work and he is giving us shit because everyone was late. A coworker guilt tripped him hard about how we all just watched thousands of people die and were traumatized. He shut up and eventually sent us home early.
That does not look at all like a safe way to transport a puppy. I would expect that the puppy is miserable and could be easily injured so this doesn't really seem like "aww" to me, it's more like someone is potentially torturing and injuring a puppy because they think it looks cute that way.
I used to live across the street from a relatively popular tourist attraction and would occasionally get tourists standing in front of my windows and commenting on things in my apartment. Once my girlfriend and I were eating breakfast in front of an open window and someone tried talking to us about how expensive something was in our apartment.
Besides that the only regular rudeness was groups acting like they own the sidewalk. Usually its large families but I do remember one time what looked like a Russian oligarch trophy wife surrounded by an entourage of stereotypical body guards that had people swearing at them because they were not letting anyone else use the sidewalk as they headed for the tourist attraction.
EDIT: Sorry, thought I was replying to someone else originally.
There have been recessions with less than two quarters of negative growth, it is not a requirement. The NBER uses a variety of indicators, there can be recessions lasting only a few months.
People are mostly dumb. Justice is largely a myth. Chaos reigns.
