Reply to ELI5: How does salt seemingly hydrate you and dehydrate you at the same time. They always say you need electrolytes (salt?) for hydration, then why canā€™t we drink sea water? by TriCombington

Your body needs a small amount of salt (electrolytes) to operate, and the more you sweat and get dehydrated the more of these salts you lose.

So drinking fluid with an appropriate amount of electrolytes helps hydrate you.

The problem with ocean water is that it has waaaayyyy too much salt and your body reacts to this by trying to get it out of your system via your urine. So you use more water to get it out of your system that you are taking in.

Reply to Part time work? by Queer-Bandit

I did this for a while, had a 9-5 job and worked at a restaurant in Robinson until around 11PM a few days a week washing dishes.

My main job was IT so more mentally tiring - I found that doing some general mindless physical labor was not that bad. It actually fixed a back problem I was having too.

Pay was pretty abysmal, but free meals (of which half would become lunch the next day).
