OT: Neutering pets

I'm disappointed, I was expecting them to attack each other with them, after stretching the sack to 2 feet long.

Might in Australia. Most of the world lives way too close together.

Or they like naked kids running around the house.

Humans can override their instincts and make rational decisions, unlike cats - at least most humans.

When she was going to graduate school my wife lived with a roommate in a Boston apartment. The roommate had a cat whose big adventure was going out into the hall. The thing was psychotic and tried to destroy anything it could reach. The roommate wasn't much better but you put up with a lot when the rents are staggering.

I'd have enclosed the roommate and the cat in a small space and watched them destroy each other.

You have no idea how the cat's mind works, since nobody has ever had a conversation with one. Your superiority complex is showing. Humans are not better than another species and have no right interfering with it.

An apartment in Boston is a small space by definition.

Anyone living in an overcrowded city is an idiot by definition.

Nothing psychopathic about enjoying the misfortune of others. There are countless TV shows and Youtube channels based on this.

I tend to agree but when you're looking for the best graduate school in your field... For full disclosure my ex-wife lives in Manhattan, NYC; I don't. Probably a moral to that story.

Schadenfreude.

Commute.

Which almost everyone has.

A cousin who worked in the heart of Manhattan chose to live in southern New Jersey where his kids could have a normal life. He commuted -- two or three hours a day on a bus.

There are a lot of commuters from Philadelphia too. Most take the train. Often the incentive is 2X to 3X the salary compared to local.

At one time, there was a sea plane that took off from the Delaware River in Philly to the Hudson in NYC.

NE PA is ripe with NY people, especially the Poconos.

This is the 21st century, I would never commute in anything but a car.

Obviously you've never driven in New York City. In truth the driving isn't that bad. Parking, if you happen to want to get out of the car, is something else again. Anywhere from $4 to $7.50 an hour if you can find a spot, or $500+ monthly in a private lot.

You can always buy a spot How much does it cost to buy a parking spot in NYC? Indoors in places like Williamsburg will be, on average, $80,000. Spots in brownstone Brooklyn will be, on average, about $100,000, and in Manhattan you can see prices as high as $200,000." The rates can be even higher for new developments downtown.

What is the most expensive parking spot in NYC? Now, it may also have what might be the world's priciest place to park your car. A single, 134.5 square foot parking spot at a 73-storey office tower in the glitzy financial district has sold for $969,000, according to local media reports. That works out to just over $7,200 per square foot.
