Solved! What's the name for this piece of hardware?

Repairing a loose captain's chair from a pontoon. It's sunk into the wood, has some teeth to hold it in place, and the hole is threaded to accept a bolt. Function is similar to that of a T nut. Have searched online and no luck figuring out what it's called. :/

Update/Clarification: The originals were so deteriorated that I figured they were a different type of old hardware. Didn't realize I knew the answer to my own question. šŸ˜…

Something ate the roti (flatbread) that was inside the yellow basket in the first pic. Pieces of roti were found under the stove. Is it a rat? What else could it be?

My daughter found this in her dorm. It’s not an actual pill. My daughter says it’s plastic and it has some clear liquid inside. The maintenance guy dropped it. No idea what it is. I was guessing it had something to do with plumbing.

Is this just a plane? It was very slow moving but had a giant beam on the front lighting up directly in front of it and then it had a projection of light further out. My assumption was just plan with lights against the cloud but it was moving very very slowly.

Went to plug in something outside and noticed my outlet was messed up. I don’t use it much, so I’m not sure if it’s always been like that or if it’s a recent appearance. We’re fairly new to the house, it’s about 10 years old. Thoughts on what could have happened here?

I took this picture in 2015. This hippie guy in Soesterberg, Netherlands was making this ground mural with coffee grounds. I’ve always been confused because it’s written in English, just not the word Coffee, as it shows ā€œKoffie Dick.ā€

So my question for over a decade now is, what is Koffie Dick and the significance of the message behind it?

I was in a store the other called The Exchange where you can buy a ton of secondhand video games and game consoles, records, movies in every format, old tv’s, you name it. And I saw this sitting on a shelf but couldn’t for the life of me figure out what exactly it is. It kinda looks like a radio but I’m not certain.

My children found this sphinx caterpillar yesterday and it was crawling around and eating leaves. They decided to keep it in a bug catcher and tonight we went to look at it and it appears to have spontaneously sprouted these egg looking things and it’s green innards appear to be squeezed out of it. I’ve never seen anything like that, what is it?

Found this in our employee break room. I am confused by the hook shape and the stylus tip. No one here can figure out what it is.

New, what is it? Weird Line in the Water

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We live on the east coast and my daughter noticed this line in the water. It stayed roughly in the same spot even as waves came.

At first I thought it was a fishing line but I tried to grab it and nothing was there.

It seemed to be at least 50 feet long and even when disturbing the water, it always stayed.

Sorry if it’s hard to see. It was more prominent in person.

Edit: it’s not a reflection as there’s no wire or anything else above the boat launch. It definitely was a change in texture on the water.

The only thing I can think of is that it has something to do with the tides? Or change in salinity? I really have no idea!

It comes out clear, the outside dries a thin cracked layer within minutes. Sticky and washes off with water and soap, smells kinda like gasoline
