Follow-up 7:
I forgot, July 4th being a holiday, Medcart
Pharmacy isn't answering their phone. So,
I'll check with them tomorrow, July 5th.
As for the location where all this is happen-
ing, it may be happening on an unknown
moon of an unknown planet in the galaxy
GN-z11, which seems to be the farthest
detectable galaxy from us, at 13.4 billion
light-years from Earth.

I strongly suspect, well, let's just say, odds
that Medcart Pharmacy has received the
prescription for the Omnipod 5/G6 Intro
Kit are probably close to odds that there's
an ice cube at the core of Earth's Sun. )-;

The temperature in the Sun's core is about
27 million degrees Fahrenheit.
