You might as well empty them out and not take the capsule part, no?
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I always figured that the brand names charged you five dollars more for the candy-coating.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Seconding billytea's vote for the Lumix-- I have a DMC-FZ18, and it's very fast and takes great pictures.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wouldn't that affect the rate of delivery? It's factored in how the capsule lining dissolves when the drug is dissipating into your system.
I am having basic colour theory problems. Can someone not color-tone-blind (as in, nothing clinical, I just don't *get* it) help me with the basics of choosing highlight and shadow colours? I can fake it, but actual artists look at my choices with disdain.
I'm willing to crib off the colour wheel for the rest of my life, if I can just work out exactly where to go.

I don't know, but my grandmother grinds all of her pills and empties out the capsules. I don't know if the prescriptions take that into account.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
When I was a teenager, I couldn't swallow pills, and there was one medicine that I needed to take that only came in pill form, so my mom would crush it and mix it into some apple sauce for me. The doctor said that was fine -- I think that it's OK as long as the bottle doesn't say "Do not crush" or "Take whole" or something like that.

Steph knows the answer. I figure if there's a difference between binders, etc, between generics and name brand, the binding/delivery mechanism can actually be deliberate and important, and by circumventing that, you might be messing with something.
Capsules seem like text book "take whole" meds to me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is there some reason a pharmacy would make pill capsules with an extremely bitter outer coating?
Maybe to discourage little kids from getting into them and thinking they're candy?

Thanks for the camera recs - I'll check out the Lumix.

Our wings are not tired
2 seconds actually seems pretty slow, a lot of lag time between pressing the button and getting the shot
I said 2 seconds from totally powered down to ready to take a shot. If the camera is powered up then I can take bursts of something like 15 shots in a second. I tend to bracket shoot with my T2i so I almost always shoot bursts of at least three frames. These take shots happen as fast as I can hit the shutter release. With a good fast lens (I have an f1.4 that was a wedding present from Scola) I can shot concert shots under stage lighting fast enough that I get multiple shots of the performer in mid leap.
