Curing a headache: iffy.

Measuring fluids with seconds: I, for one, live in a house with water pressure that's not totally consistent from day to day. So much for accuracy.

Coffee: Is this ethical? All for a few more ounces of coffee? Brew your own if you're that desperate...

Some of the others I think are solutions in search of a problem, but I admit that's subjective and won't discuss it here.

Also, from the HN Guidelines:

    If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous
    adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate
    "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys."

If only it was named "14 Amazing Hacks"...

If the headache is caused by sinus blockage, capsaicin is generally pretty good at getting those flowing. Hangover headaches, I have no idea.

Incidentally, I have regretted not asking for an oversized coffee cup just this morning. It would have made it harder not to spill while walking fast. So now there's a second reason to do that! :)

You (or perhaps the article author) have/has been trolled:

"The compound that gives spicy food its kick is called capsaicin and has been used for over 9,000 years in Native American cultures to relieve painful headaches."

"used for over 9,000 years"

"over 9,000"
