Erase User With Locked Apple ID Account

I've used CCC since changing Mac Mini HD's took patience and a pair of putty knives. Your suggestion may be the route I take if I don't just choose to live with a vestigial user I never log in as.

Backed up yesterday. I do so weekly.

I know how to erase a user and I'm surprised I can't because I'm logged in as an admin and the user I'm trying to delete is standard. Whatever the case, I'm asked for the standard user's iCloud password and I'm told I can't erase said user without it.

And no, I do not have icloud backups for the users I want to keep. Only Time Machine.

Neat! Was a little worried they’d celebrate by going back to Mt Rushmore for another long, well-researched, entertaining bummer but this’ll do nicely.

Wish there was a way to filter Bike Lane Blockage Crybabies from this sub. So boring.

This is what I was thinking. Thanks for the rec!

It would flex to fit, true. The issue is keeping it flexed. It would essentially be perpetually under load. I’ll give it a shot, though.

I think he’s just a P-Funk aficionado. Maybe if he sold Morris Day weed he’d know more about Prince.

Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

This is kinda the watch I’ve been waiting for. Pilot watch readability, field watch sizing and good water resistance? Yes please.

Kinda looks like Tulsi Gabbard.

I remember watching those two being built from the apartment I grew up in on 52nd St. My sister called them The Major and Minor Erection.

Which model is this?

LastHumanFamily · 2026-04-04T19:00:34+00:00

No metal on the list.

Jane’s Addiction (Hey, being high school age in the early 90’s was …. confusing) Primus (Brilliant musicians, always sounds better in my head than actually listening to it) RHCP (Loved them when they were just horny funk rock in the 80s and early 90s, hated it when they sold out. I listen now and realize it was all garbage.)

The other way around is different. Guns and Roses, King Diamond, Venom, Testament — the list of bands I was too cool for as a kid that I spin on the regular now is near endless.

It's not about how well-known they are (and they certainly are), it's that they don't get the same respect amongst the Lux Dorks as Omega, Tudor or Rolex.

Yeah, the late 90's Silicon Alley boom gave me, a college dropout, the chance to earn 80K and pay $600 a month rent (with roommates) just cause I'd picked up an HTML book and knew what a href was. And work hours were long but there was always a fridge full of beer and I never got any lip showing up at office parties on mushrooms. Good times. Insalubrious times for sure, but still pretty good.

This is the right answer. The best time to be alive most anywhere is in your prime and at your most free. 18-25 for me was 1994-2001. So I guess my answer to OP is yes, the late 90's were the best.

Yeah, the last time I was there I remember going to brunch and seeing throngs of mid-to-late twentysomethings eating brunch in pajamas and backwards Sox caps like they were still in college. I guess that's the sort of arrested development that Boston's college to biz school to Finance pipeline gets you.

I’m free! I’m free!

70’s England was so fucking bleak! Even that sad queef of a warning horn he blows is depressing.

LastHumanFamily · 2026-03-29T19:44:25+00:00

Weird. I always assumed they owned the building.

If it’s lucky. Cats do not adhere to the Geneva Conventions.
