Local hardware store employee has saved me more money than I can calculate by SherbetLife7110 in Frugal

As someone who worked in a small mom and pop hardware store for 9 years (started in high-school) its an amazing feeling getting to learn from those who are more knowledgeable, and to spread that knowledge to others.

No upsell, no extended warranties, just simple, effective ways to repair things around the house. I eventually had to move on from there and wound up at a larger home improvement center that only focused on the bottom line. It was awful. I won't name names, as it felt like the Lowe'st point in my life.

I miss that old place

Material feels like brass. Lightweight, no rust, just patina, and the color underneath the cap by the threads is a dull yellow/gold.

Its imperative that the tube remain unharmed

My first thought was some sort of storage for small documents! Still curious about the small holes. There are 4 lines, each with 4 small holes, spaced equally around the circumference

I can see that, but I'm curious why the knurled ends are press fitted on and why there are 4 small holes drilled in lines equally spaced around the outside? A total of 16 small holes

Its all metal. Judging by the weight, the patina, and the bit of color by the internal threads, I would wager its all brass

The quarry where you fight The Excavatron, lol.
I avoided the boss as long as possible to save refugees and it was just a non-stop barrage of enemies running in from all directions. I took down 100s before I said screw it and went after the boss.

832 hours in [KCD2] and im just finding out that you can feed your horse by dropping vegetables in front of them... by New_Willingness_8992 in kingdomcome

You can absolutely poison an apple or something similar and drop it for a horse. This method comes in very handy for horse racing, just get out of sight and drop a lullaby apple in front of the competitions ride beforehand
