in addition pigs can survive on their own and in the colonial era they were often left on islands when ships landed and when another ship landed the local ecosystems would be decimated by the pigs as they would outcompete local species.

feral pigs exist and cause fair amount of damage in the us

glass is theoretically more sustainable, while its production does not involve the same kind of problems as plastic it is a lot more energy intensive so without proper energy infrastructure it is trading plastic pollution for carbon emissions, also heavier contributing to transport costs. With proper infrastructure for reusing the bottles the energy impact of production can be mitigated significantly. and even without proper reusage infrastructure the options for the glass is 1. resmelted into new glass 2. landfill->glass shards quickly become essentially just sand 3. environment where it also becomes sand

so while even without proper infrastructure the pollutans are essentially just emissions if properly treated just co2 (though modern kilns can be electric arc reducing emissions just to that of the country's electricity infrastructure) and gravel. In contrast plastic has lower production emissions but the waste in environment is to put it lightly quite a bit more harmful than gravel and the effects are still not fully understood especially ones of microplastics

basically a vinaigrette but even simpler. just needs a very good oil and balsamic and good balsamic aint easy or cheap to come by

it was just your collection of lemming facts all along >:3

Fun fact: wood lemmings have female to male ratio of 3:1 because of an mutation in the X chromosome that prevents Y chromosome from doing anything.

or if you are you should reconsider with whom/where you go out

cat pawing a glass with a bit of water in on my desk it that she suddenly prefers above all else making a tiny glass sound. She has ruined a mechanical keyboard with her antics and has made a damn good effort to ruin an amplifier also.

they do tend to work more consistently and stay sharper for longer if you rarely/never sharpen your knives or dont have the proper equipment. a well sharpened chef's knife though is better but i have to admit i dont have the energy always to properly maintain the edge on them

they help with getting a nore consistent cut but in my opinion only case when it really matters if you really care about the presentation being perfect
