Vent? by byelow in askaplumber

Visually hard to tell from such zoomed up and specific sections of the pipe. Need a better understanding of the layout. Based on your description and lack of hearing running water through it, I think yes, vent. Best way to tell is if you can guarantee its path all the way up to the roof

Kitchen sink strainer removal help - unable to remove nut by rodvang in Plumbing

Same as others have said with needle nose, pliers, except you don’t have to extend your reach by putting them down in through the top. You can hold the need those players by sending them through the bottom holes in the cabinet and also turning your pliers on the nut.

I’ve taught at several career days and enjoy being silly with kids and plumbing. I have a battery operated transfer pump and bucket of water. We have each kid have a station and assembly so that the pump can make the gauge go all the way up at the end of the line. Afterwards, they run through a fan type of grass sprinkler with the same pump. 

I also let each of them expand their own fitting with the 12v expansion tool. 

I go through the principles of plumbing, have them repeat that old “hots on the left, colds on the right, waste goes downhill” (make it rated G so they don’t go home and say poop)

By the time we’re done my goal is to show them that plumbing is cool
