Is that from bouncing body parts?

I'm 2-3 weeks behind my DVR, so I won't see it for a while.
Crank it up then and do some binge watching!!

I went to a social club in New Orleans once (on the night of January 1; I was on Bourbon Street for New Year's Eve (and didn't see anything)). They had a clothing-optional-but-don't-get-up-to-anything policy. Nobody said anything, but they probably would have preferred I opt for clothing. I had a leg cramp in the pool. Several months later, a woman was roofied and, erm, to put it delicately, involuntarily gotten-up-to-something-with by 3 men, and the city told the club to end the clothing optional policy or be shut down; the victim herself wasn't happy with that (she was upset that the club didn't enforce the other part of the policy, but she still wanted to get her all-over tan), but you know how politicians are when they get righteously indignant.
New Orleans won't stop the tourist traps as they bring in TONS and TONS of cash to the City, they probably paid the lady off with some kind of 'settlement'.

Meanwhile, here in town today... Amtrak conductor shot by passenger It happened around 4:30-4:45. I went out about 7:30 and saw the train finally leave at 8:03. (My house is within the area of the map at the bottom of the article.)

I used to have one upstairs here where I have my 8 computers running 24/7 (laptop downstairs in the living room of course) and I took it down a couple years ago......not sure where I put it but probably testing it some where else on the property......so these days all I have is that thing on the top of one of the walls that you attach the smoke detector to.
I am home 99% of the time so if my pc's want to catch on fire they will have to wait until I make one of my monthly shopping trips (which reminds me I need to buy a couple cheap keyboards)
One I have is annoying since the space bar sticks as you type.......and another one wasn't typing the same thing that the letters were supposed to be and I was not in the mood so I threw that one out of the upstairs widow onto the concrete and so the next day I found several letter keys all over the place.........I picked up the one that says "ENTER" and taped it on the outside of the house by the back door to see if anyone noticed my new high-tech door opener
Oh and all day today I installed Windows 7 in one again after Windows 10 Update screwed up and then said it was going to remove the Updates and try again.......well it just sat there spinning away so I looked it up and saw several others saying they had the same thing..........so since I have the OEM Win7 disc I decided to get away from that Win 10 Update that makes you reboot whether you like it or not........only takes about 10 hours to do the Win7 225 Updates after the first install and then all the other d/l's so I could get it back to work.
AND to top it off it lost the drivers to the LAN card so I had to do ALL the many things you have to do to FINALLY just get the wireless connection to work so I could do all those Updates and as usual one of the Updates was for that LAN card.......so now it works like new........even though this is an older AMD quad-core and since I'm not running GPU tasks with it right now I will skip d/ling the GeForce drivers. (6 of these are still using Win 10 OS)
We have two smoke detectors, one on the entrance hallway ceiling, and one on the upstairs landing ceiling. I test them once a month. Theye were delivered and fitted free by the local London Fire Brigade as part of a London wide safety policy initiative. They have no replaceable batteries but have a 10 year life before replacement. We also have a CO2 detector by the multipoint gas water heater.
We don't have "furnaces" in England, they are industrial items that you smelt metal in. What we have are gas powered heaters that give you hot water at every tap plus feeding the radiators for the central heating system. Of course out in the rural places they still use open wood burning fires. But these days you can get Agas in wood burning, oil, or gas configurations for cooking.

Lots of America still uses what you have, New York City being a huge example, you can see the steam rising from all the leaky pipes the City provides the hot water thru for the people. And yes lots of Americans still use boilers to make their own too, more and more of America though is moving towards central air conditioning that includes both heating and air conditioning in the same units, a heatpump. It cools in the summer and then provides warm air in the winter thru the same hardware. It is more efficient but in very cold climates can struggle to provide enough heat for people to 'feel' warm. It is also forced air meaning people often need some kind of moisture adding system in the winter time so it's not too dry causing other problems.
As for hot water for me I have a gas fired on demand tankless system, it's GREAT and gives me endless hot water, until the 250 gallon in ground propane tank runs dry. My neighbor has 3 people each taking daily showers, and the stove and fireplace logs are propane too, and over the past year has used less than 50 gallons of propane! I think I'm good as mine only does hot water, and the fireplace logs that have been turned on twice in the 5 months I've lived here.
Sorry Magic no prizes will be given out for playing, or winning, the game. I DID get one of my retired 7970 gpu's up and running the other day though, it's on another project at the moment, but it's doing just fine in it's new a/c environment. I took it out because it did not like running when the ambient temps were in the mid 90's, now that the new a/c keeps the temps in the low 80's it's back up and crunching like crazy again.
The UK went through a phase in the 1980/90's for warm air cental heating. The main drawback was adusting the grills in each room to get the optimum airflow, and sore throats unless you had a humidifying unit. Most people ripped them out and put in a hot water radiator system. Early radiator systems had a header tank in the loft/attic Multi-point gas water heaters are indeed tankless these days. We only use propane here for caravans, most people are on mains gas, initially town gas, now natural gas. When the North Sea runs out probably Russian gas from Siberia. Shale gas is too controversial at the moment.
But I acept that most of North America is rural compared to the UK. 50% of your population is down the Western and Eastern Seaboards.

My neighbors had a smoke detector going off while they were away and no-one was going to turn it off. That was pretty annoying.

Don't think he means a pot belly or a fire ring, but with that dialect one best ask.
Bill, an open wood burning
Bill, an open wood burning fire is a fireplace with a hearth and a grate.
Pot bellied stoves or other enclosed fires are quite different.
