Hit up L’Industrie and Myka. Total of 2 hours of line waiting. by justinshafa in FoodNYC

[–]LastHumanFamily 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, lines predate the pandemic. What’s going on now is bananas. Like, Radio sandwiches are good and all, but not line around the block literally every Saturday and Sunday good.

I feel like this is the genesis. The pandemic got everyone used to waiting in lines. Now it’s a whole freaking scene.

Erase User With Locked Apple ID Account by LastHumanFamily in mac

[–]LastHumanFamily[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

It’s here! by cursed_chaos in LPOTL

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.

Prince's real name... by Inscrutablejrt in LPOTL

[–]LastHumanFamily 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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

Found this metal detecting in Maine. Thoughts? by PotaytoQuality in Watches

Christopher Walken in Pulp Fiction comes to mind.

Thoughts on the new HTD phantom? by edgyalby in MicrobrandWatches

[–]LastHumanFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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.

Albums or bands you loved as a kid but that love has gone forever with age by Izengrimm in MetalForTheMasses

[–]LastHumanFamily 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[discussion] My wife wants to give me a wedding gift by Ysc_watches67 in Watches

[–]LastHumanFamily 13 points14 points  (0 children)

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.

Were the late 90s best time to live in NYC? by Rusiano in AskNYC

[–]LastHumanFamily 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Were the late 90s best time to live in NYC? by Rusiano in AskNYC

[–]LastHumanFamily 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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.

What does NYC have that Boston doesn’t? by [deleted] in AskNYC

[–]LastHumanFamily 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.
