Solved! What (or who) are these little stickers all over my apartment?

Moved into a new place almost 2 months ago now. Living in BC, Canada if location is important. As I clean the place I keep finding these stickers of this Asian man at the tops of doors, in cupboards, on faucets and shower spigots. There was also a strange class photo of a little school girl (also Asian) taped to the underside of a drawer (but not posting that one just in case it’s accidental). Is this some weird prank? Is it like a good luck-religious thing? Who is this guy? I think the last tenants may have been Korean but not 100% sure.

The parts spin at the seems/joints, but it doesn’t come apart. I can’t fathom what it might be.

The hole is quadrilateral and is attached to the main groove of the key, though it never goes into the lock.

On my wedding ring
It was passed down and is a family heirloom but I can’t make out anything other than it might end with an “a”

About 10 cm or 4 inches long. On the edge of a washbasin in the gym.

Update: No I did not touch it but it did taste a bit weird.

Update 2: According to someone at the company that makes these, they will harm a cylinder. So don't use it for that.

Animal Sighting In My Backyard!

65 Upvotes

A few days ago one of our ducks went missing without a trace. Tonight while I was cooking dinner I saw something flash by my eye and my dog went running after it! This time it tried to get another duck! I opened the door so my dog looked back at me and then chased it off. The video is kind of low quality but we are thinking either a bobcat or maybe possibly a cougar/mountain lion. It was very muscular and as big if not bigger than my 50lb dog. It’s definitely a cat variety and it had a tail but it was so fast I couldn’t tell exactly what it was. Also, I am located in Dallas,TX area.

Solved! What is my lightsaber saying?

I’m trying to charge my lightsaber and it plays this message over and over again, very loudly. I can understand the “charging” but not the rest. AI is no help although I’ve been warned that imperial authorities consider this a forbidden weapon.

Solved! Spring handled metal object with bolt and nut on one end

My title describes the thing. It seems to open but on the end with a weird nut bolt situation. Fairly strong spring so I don't think it's for a simple job or it would be clamped on to something very firmly. Metal and rubber handles. Weight is in line with the size of the object and I only had a centimeter ruler available but that is the size

Can’t see a way to wear it. Can’t stick it to fridge since it’s not magnetic on the back. When it’s curled you there’s a little magnet to keep it curled.

The black thing on the back is not a magnet.

New, what is it? Odd scratching sounds in fridge? I don’t know what it is or if it’s a bad sign of the fridge on its way out

31 Upvotes

As it sounds, just started to notice this morning, it wasn’t doing it last night. What is it/what’s happening? Is this a bad thing? Is our fridge in peril of it dying and us spending like 100’s of dollars on new food?

I’m renting rn and they charge us 100 dollars per hour it takes to fix so I’m hoping if I know what it is I can decide if that’s worth it 🙂‍↕️

Edit: We have no ice maker/way for it to make any so I know it’s got nothing to do with that!
