What do you use Vaseline for?

I used these a bunch in some jungle training. Any petroleum based jellies worked great, so we used bacitracin packets as our additive.

Fun fact: dead bamboo will always be dry in the middle between two joints. You can split it up into a couple thin pieces and it makes great kindling.

Live bamboo will create a small pressure bomb.

How come there’s no big gaming community?

Federation can be a one way street. The problem with that is your comments and votes will only be visible from the instance you did it from. Lemmy.world will show other Lemmy.world users your comment but Beehaw will not ever see it, which means your comment will not proliferate to other instances either.

You can still browse content from an instance that has defederated yours but your actions will only be visible on your own instance.

TIL that the divorce rate of Navy Seals is over 90%/The average length of a marriage is 8 years

Just to flip the perspective a bit on the whole military divorce rate thing: There's also a huge incentive to get married in the first place. Getting married gets you Basic Allowance for Housing which is a monthly stipend for the average cost of living in your zip code. This is a couple thousand bucks a month just for getting a marriage certificate.

You also get to bring your spouse with you to other duty stations when you inevitably have to move.
