(allegedly both pronunciations are valid, and my experience has been others who were educated with a more British background pronounce it like penal-ized)
Not when all your other mates all tried the same thing, then flipped completely.
The world when you grew up was filled with men doing this exact thing, the concept of the friend zone has been around forever and even before that, women didn't really have a choice.
Plenty of men who didn't take no for an answer, and wore down the woman until they said yes.
Oil pulling itself doesn't benefit your oral health. What does is you taking a sudden interest in your oral hygiene, and rinsing very fucking thoroughly (often also brushing far more thoroughly too).
Cut sugars (even natural), cut acids (anything sour, tart, fizzy - yes even sugar free pop!), brush with as high a fluoride concentration toothpaste as you can (e.g., clinpro 5000 or neutrafluor/duraphat 5000), floss and use interdental brushes, don't graze, manage your gastric reflux and dry mouth... Taking on board at least some of these will improve your oral health.
And for whitening, the whitening strips from crest/oral b work well if your teeth and gums are healthy and clean.
A note about battery life, Bobovr makes a great strap that has modular batteries. I don't think they've made a full kit for the q3 that has multiple batteries and a separate charging dock for the batteries like they did for the q2, though... Happy to be corrected on this! Either way, they greatly extend playing time.
The strap itself is really comfortable and the battery helps counterbalance the weight of the quest itself. I know one of the q3 versions has a fan built in and the design lets you lie on your back and just watch movies.
Edit: seems they sell the s3 batteries separately and the charging dock now, nice. Wish it came in a whole kit.
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.
Something like four days, the state used to get a lot of power from a neighbouring one and they cut us off (not maliciously).
Then they built the (at the time) biggest lithium ion battery in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornsdale_Power_Reserve
