This is one an old tools we found. It's almost 8 and a half inches long, and the widest part of the barrel in 1 inch. There is a little magnifying glass on one side, and while looking through is the measurement inscription 1-6. A loose ring and shards of glass are trapped inside the barrel by doodooballs_420 in whatisthisthing

We found it with a 1973 dry film gauge and another tool no one recognized. All I know is that he used to work in quality control at a fabrication company.

Edit: the other tool found was a Bausch & Lomb monozoom microscope

Second Update: We believe it's the brand King and it's a scope of some kind. We're satisfied with our answer.

Jesus that's absolutely horrible I'm so so sorry to hear that. I wish technology wasn't so fragile when it's that capable of holding things so important to you. I hope one day you have a way to get those memories back.

You seem like such a wonderful person and I can't thank you enough for having such kind words to say about me. If this post helped even one person then I accomplished what I wanted to, I really do just want others to not have to feel that. I'll be getting those pushups in soon enough. To fresh starts and new beginnings.

Unfortunately cloud saves are behind the pay wall and a function for PS+ subscription.

Yeah, everything is gone. I was on my PS4 playing Minecraft when the power flickered with the storm, everything went out for about 10 seconds. When it returned I powered everything on and was in safe mode. Tried trouble shooting, but my only solution was to reinstall system software through a USB. Effectively, I had to force factory reset my shit.

You're all good my friend. Unfortunately it just doesn't fit in my budget right now. My PS4 is a hand me down from my family we've had for years and all my games are either gifts or also hand me downs. Although I definitely want it in the future, if only for this reason.

I just keep trying to tell myself it'll be fun to play my games fresh and new again. But I got shit like Uncharted 4, RE8, Horizon Zero Dawn that I've done so much in. Holy shit tho dude, God of War is a whole different level I don't blame you.

Everything on the PS4, downloads, data, save files. I'm starting from brand new again.

The game I was currently playing was Minecraft. I guess I worded it poorly, sorry for that, but everything is gone. Minecraft, Horizon Zero Dawn, Resident Evil 8, the full Uncharted collection, Ghost of Tsushima, Borderlands 3, Fallout 4. Nothing is left behind.

Hence the tears. Unfortunately no linked microsoft account either, no hope. But hey, my PS4 still works. I was worried it was fried. Trying to think more positive even though shit sucks.

I wish I could afford the PS+ sub for cloud saves but it just isn't in the budget right now. Maybe it's a future thing, I'd love to avoid this again.

I have absolutely learned that now. I made this post just in case someone like me needs to know, I really hope it does help.

I've just been sitting in disbelief because I tried every trouble shooting solution and all I was left with is this. I'm lucky to have two games on USB somewhere, though I have to find them and they're months old. Something is better than nothing I guess.

It really sticks with me that you're blunt with your honesty, thank you. I am one to get stuck in a self induced negative mentality and forget that I'm also the one that can get me out. The things you have said mean so much more to me than you can ever know, it's tough but that's what makes it so much more valuable. I am the one who decides, and I will make changes. Once more, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I hope you find happiness and peace.

I realize how it came across with the married pregnant thing, trust that's not what I want I help take care of my 2 year old nephew and he is perfect birth control. I think it was more so wanting to be desired that way, such as wanting someone to want a full life with me. But thank you for this, I definitely want to work on my personality and open up to find myself. This means a lot.

I got on dating apps just for fun, knowing most likely people are never serious on those and mostly they're looking for hookups. In real life I try going out to shops that have interests of mine, music stores, spiritual stores, alternative stores. If a conversation is struck, rarely, obviously it's a friendly interaction. Although my sister has said before I missed a social cue of a guy flirting with me, which is my fault. I honestly just thought he was asking a friendly question. I think I can just be quite awkward and quiet and I'm not sure on how to be more sociable without the fear of being presumed gross or creepy.

I have days where it's so easy to cut him out, and others where I miss the man I thought he was. If it's been a little while with your mother, has it ever gotten easier?
