I was there that day in the cafe and my face is still attached :-)
This is a still from a home movie my mother made and I can't remember this day tbh. I must have been 4. First time me and my brother re-watched with our respective girlfriends, just to show them our life when we were young. You can imagine the shock we all had when the chimpansee is brought in and let loose in the cafe. He even get to sit on the bar and drink something. Gods, I hope that was water but then again, that period in time and my social surroundings, I would not be surprised they gave the chimp vodka and a cigar. It was wild and ... special :-)

Again no, strictly speaking he is not. Layman’s terms are just as valid. They do not stop having meaning just because someone uses a term in a technical fashion in a different manner. The usage of the term battery to refer to a singular item is not remotely an oxymoron. It’s a well defined, well understood, broadly used term that is fully consistent in how it’s used.

If the standard of living goes up fast enough, developing nations can leapfrog past car-dependency and save their battery capacity for highly battery-efficient micromobility vehicles like ebikes, etrikes, and escooters.

An ebike equipped with a 1KWh battery can go 30 to 50 miles on a charge with throttle alone, while a Tesla Model 3 with 70KWh of battery capacity can go 300 to 375 miles on a charge. That's 70 times as much lithium for only ~8x as much distance, which means that hauling a whole car around with you is about ten times less efficient than an ebike.

Sometimes they'll come up to you saying "te cogí," (I've got you!)

But it sounds like tekogi 手漕ぎ meaning "spankin' it" in Japanese.

Which is also frightening

The mental model you present in your question is absolute, that salt hydrates or dehydrates. The truth is somewhere in between those extremes.

In this case, your body has a certain salt concentration it likes to maintain, so when you hydrate, it will try and maintain that concentration. If it can't it will either reject some of that water (if there's not enough salt) or require more water (if there's too much salt). A fluid that hydrates optimally contains the exact salt concentration your body prefers.

A simple way to look at it is what most people should be doing with their bank statements. So you would keep track of what you bought vs money coming into the account. Look at the beginning statement and how much money is in the account, add up all the money that came into the account for a certain period and then subtract money that went out for bills and such. You should have a number that matches the number at the beginning of the next statement. In business, this would have to do with the financials of a company except more involved. You should balance your books to make sure there wasn’t an error and companies balance their books for the same reasons but also to get a state of the business presently and for tax reasons.
