The police around here will turn a blind eye (deaf ear?) on fireworks until ten o’clock. That’s when they start handing out noise ordinance citations like it’s going out of style.
I wasn’t reading this site while the fireworks were on, so not sure how to answer. I could certainly hear, and when I looked to some extent see, fireworks from a number of directions last night; most of them undoubtedly amateur. This is normal; both on the Fourth, and scattered through the closest weekend.
We’re pretty wet here at the moment.
I don’t know whether I’ve ever heard gunfire at New Year’s, but it’s not a tradition around here. Hunting and target shooting are both very common, though, so it doesn’t stand out to me if I hear gunfire.
I thought I’d let you all know that there seems to be a problem with Discourse polls losing results. I started a thread in Site Feedback about it.
Here, it’s not dark until around 10:00. But last night was less than usual for some reason, and probably done by 11:30
It was surprisingly quiet until just before sunset. Normally my hood takes any excuse to set off fireworks, even in broad daylight. But once they got started, they did not disappoint. Pretty much nonstop in every direction until about 1100.

Wanna drive him 'round the bend? Go ahead and eat the apple sticker, they’re edible.
Why does my wife keep nagging me? I already told her at least twenty times I would do it, starting last year!
I sent that to him immediately and he pointed out it’s “still not recommended.” 
Cite?
The local idiots weren’t anywhere near as bad this year – not as loud, not as frequent, not as close, and not as late.
I originally said under ten flights, even counting segments, but I realised I’d forgotten several trips. The actual count is around 25-30. At least two flights had stops along the way, without changing planes, so I didn’t count the individual segments – though perhaps I should have on one flight; what was supposed to be a brief stop turned into about a four-hour wait while they fixed the plane.
My post is my cite.
I haven’t seen Dial of Destiny or anything newer than half a season of Picard so I couldn’t fully participate in the polls.
FTR I think DS9 is the best Star Trek.
My vote as well. The only one I haven’t seen at least some of is Enterprise.
Also, where was Lower Decks? That option would have changed my votes somewhat.
It’s animated. Poll was for live action series only. Short Treks didn’t make the cut for the same reason.
You aren’t alone. I was looking for ST:TAS as a choice until I reread the question.
I don’t know what STAT means in a pizza context (something to do with star
trek maybe ?), but i voted for that.
Occasionally, though not usually, #1 and #2 both want to come at once. (I don’t suppose that works with male anatomy; but it can with female.)
I didn’t think #2 was even possible without a simultaneous #1. Live and learn, I guess.
Ditto.
