Is it rude to run a generator in the house?

I am at a total loss as to understand how people were trying to heat their homes by running their cars in their garage.

That reminds me of the many of cold winter nights I spent in a tent in the woods back in my Army days in Germany.

We had these Yukon type tent stoves that burnt liquid fuel. M-1950s to be precise. For most of you folks that heater unit was basically a metal box that held a burner plate and equipped with a stack. Gasoline (most of the time) was metered out of a 5 gallon Jerrycan and dripped onto the burner plate.

Nothing like trying to go to sleep, when it's 0 degrees F outside and you are in a mummy sleeping bag in a tent, laying next to a smelly 5 gallon can of gasoline feeding an open flame burner three feet away -

Well, they had tents, just not tent heaters. However, I did make sure the medics gave each soldier an extra bottle of "GI gin" -

He lives in a city of around 200,000 I live in one of 450,000 and have never been hit. Being in a city shouldn't increase you odds of being rear ended.

No No No I meant maybe it is YOU they are after. Did you piss off anybody that could have hired the most inept hitman they can find?
