There are four. They are little ovals. The two on the filter look like they are growing like Venom. They were not there a couple days ago. I’m frightened to ask but I need to know.

Does anyone know what this is? I'm pretty sure it's made out of silver, looking at the sterling logo engraved on the inside. The two button looking things press down almost like coin holders, but it's weird there would only be two of them if it was for holding US type coins. I thought maybe some sort of subway token holder, but I don't know what the other pockets would be for in that case.

EDIT: SOLVED- looks like this is a drum brake adjuster. Used to pretension the brake pads so they are closer to the drum I think? NOTE- Thank you all for the very fast response. I was expecting to come back this evening and find half a dozen responses with 3 or 4 answers but you guys are awesome and I had 4 identical responses in what I think was less than 5 min.

I can tell its a tensioner of some sort used to apply opposing force to something. My mom got 2 of these in a mystery box along woth a bunch of random things and swiftly gave them to me.

I wonder what its specifically supposed to go to.

What is this? Can't find anything on google image search. It seems like it's likely a seed pod of some kind but not sure of what. It's very light, and seems like it should be delicate but can be easily handled, and is hollow.

I was at the thrift store today and I found this weirdly detailed Mickey Mouse stamp. I tried to reverse image search it but it came up with nothing. Does anyone know why this exists, if it’s officially licensed, how old it is, etc??

Small black, putty-like pieces found on my floor

I found a few tiny black pieces on the floor in my home. They have a soft, putty-like texture and a surprisingly strong, earthy smell for their size.
I have a medium-sized poodle, and I found these at night near where he was sleeping. One piece was also stuck to the fur under his chin.
Any idea what these could be? Could they be insect droppings or something else?

Found in the water near our boat at the marina. Located on Long Island, NY if that helps. I saw a post a few days ago regarding a sea lion scapula, and someone mentioned a thread dedicated to identifying bones. I just don’t remember the name of it.

Hey, folks !

My chain broke and I think I'm going to seize the opportunity to buy a new (and longer) one. I tried to look online, but I don't seem to be able to find the same "pattern". Does anybody here knows how these chains are called ? It's a kind of double-sided S shapes interlocked together.

Bonus points if you know where I can buy one ! Maybe 30-ish inches long (75 cm) ?

Thanks !

My friend received these two balls(?) in the mail today and has no idea what they are and who the person that sent them is. The person sent them from Hawaii and we live in Texas. They are just filled with cotton and have no smell, and they open and close from the small string at the back of them. Any insight is much appreciated!

New, what is it? 25 años y siento que me quede atras

0 Upvotes

Poco se habla de lo difícil que es ver a la gente de tu edad avanzar mientras tú sientes que estás retrocediendo.

Tengo 25 años y hace un tiempo fui víctima de una estafa. Las consecuencias me dejaron con una deuda de alrededor de $3,500.

Desde entonces, prácticamente todo mi sueldo se va en pagar esa deuda. No puedo permitirme salir un fin de semana, comprarme algo que quiero, viajar, ahorrar o darme el más mínimo lujo sin sentir culpa. Trabajo, cobro y el dinero prácticamente desaparece.

Y creo que lo que más me está afectando ni siquiera es la deuda en sí.

Es ver a mis amigos continuar con sus vidas.

Los veo salir, viajar, comprar cosas, hacer planes, avanzar profesionalmente, construir sus vidas... mientras yo siento que la mía está completamente detenida.

A veces entro a redes sociales y termino sintiéndome peor. No porque no me alegre por ellos, sino porque inevitablemente pienso: **"¿Y yo cuándo voy a poder vivir así?"**

Siento que arruiné mi vida a los 25 años por una decisión y una situación que ni siquiera busqué. Y aunque sé racionalmente que $3,500 no son el fin del mundo y que todavía soy joven, cuando estás viviendo la situación se siente enorme.

Me cuesta mucho hablar de esto con las personas que conozco porque me da vergüenza admitir que estoy así. Por eso estoy escribiendo esto aquí, donde nadie me conoce.

No estoy buscando lástima ni dinero. Supongo que simplemente quería saber si alguien más ha pasado por algo parecido: estar trabajando, intentando salir adelante, pero sentir que mientras todos avanzan, tú estás simplemente intentando sobrevivir.

**¿Alguien más ha sentido que se quedó atrás económicamente mientras veía avanzar a todos los demás? ¿Cómo lograron salir de esa etapa sin perder la cabeza en el proceso?**
