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.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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.

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

Ah, okay. I was reading too fast to fully comprehend. 15 shots a second is awfully good.

When you make the move into DSLR territory then you can get that sort of fast shutter release. In some of the manual modes you can also either force it to hold the initial focus, or do a tracking shot so that it is adjusting the focus between each of the burst shots. This is very handy in fast shooting when the object of your shot is moving towards or away from you. It's also important to look at the number of focal points the camera uses as well as how you can adjust these focal points.
