Some of the ranches are big enough they do have helicopters. It's not impossible.

What a cracker of a question!

Short answer, yes.

Long answer, what sorts of side effects happen as a result of said medication? I don't think there's a single medication or even supplement out there that doesn't have some sort of side effect (e.g., ibuprofen can cause gut bleeding, iron supplements can lead to constipation, grapefruit can screw with all sorts of medications), so balancing the cost benefit ratio is important.

The problem comes is the suggestion of travelling to destination X (in your case, the Bahamas) doesn't just pop up out of thin air - friends may have travelled there recently, perhaps there has been a recent advertising push, etc.

Another family member looking up some destinations to travel, then speaking with you later - same external IP of the home wifi being reported, bam you get advertised the destinations they looked at the most.

Choosing a "random" topic again also doesn't come out of thin air.

As other comments have said, deal with the origin of the pain first, THEN...

If it's bad enough to take meds but not too bad, then one 500mg paracetamol and 200mg ibuprofen (my go to for pain). The paracetamol will generally be one with some caffeine in it.

If it's a BAD headache, then 900mg aspirin.

I do have a headache hat which is kept in the fridge.

That is literally how you are supposed to play Dixit.

A lot of companies have tried to dodge their liability responsibilities by claiming it was an unrelated third party that is responsible.

The consumer still has a contractual relationship with the vendor, not the upstream provider.

The vendor is the one who should ensure their supply chain is safe, and can't demand a stupidly low price that gives no room for safe practices.

Megan MacKenzie, the more junior author (at the time a senior lecturer), received calls threatening her with consequences for her career.

Why only mention the more junior author? Did the senior authors not get targeted? Did they receive different threats? There's definitely an implication here and I'd rather not assume... :/

And how "funny" - when "outed" (and were they?) for being biased, the reaction was to be an absolute turd? Ugh.

Bit harder to breed emus than pigs.

Don't get into stranger's cars, and don't give out your real name or number or address on the internet.

Now you do most of these things when you call an uber. 😅

For anyone worried about this, you can ask for a bite block.
