| Posted: 10 Oct 2017 04:12 AM PDT I'm sort of wondering here. And just to be clear, when I refer to self medication in children, I mean so in the context of accidental unsupervised self-medication (e.g.: "Little Sally reached out to the medicine cabinet while I was napping and drank that bottle of strawberry-flavored cough syrup" kind of thing). On the one hand, I notice that some pharmaceuticals will add a variety of edulcorants to child medicine, and even go so far as to make this a centerpiece of their sales strategy. On the other hand, some other child medication has no such flavorings or sweeteners and tastes thoroughly vile. On the gripping hand, while some other childrens medicine has flavorings, it seems these were designed as a compromise and taste "off", and might deserve such epithets as "grotesque grape, 'bominable banana, or horrible orange" ... I cannot remember specific names, but I'm sure we all recognize the ones I'm referring to from memory. Are these deliberately made gross to prevent self administration I have always wondered? So ... This brings me to my question. I understand there are benefits to making medicine palatable to children, and that there is a risk that palatable medicine might entice children to self administer, creating a risk for intoxication. There is a balance there. So ... is there a consensus as to where that balance should be or are we in the hands of a free for all where pharmas sort of "throw stuff and strategies to the wind", and see what sticks to the sales figures?

| How do logic gates work physically? Posted: 10 Oct 2017 06:54 AM PDT I have a basic understanding of logic gates and how they operate such as and/or gates. But I am having a hard time finding out how they work physically. What kind of basic device(s) allow for two inputs to interact and "compare"? Please explain in basic circuit terms as this isn't something I am learning about but simply curious about. [link] [comments]  |

| If hormonal contraception stops eggs being released, how do they eventually come out? Posted: 09 Oct 2017 02:50 PM PDT Most oral contraceptives stop eggs being released. But after you stop taking them, do they come out in gluts or staggered over a longer period of time? And of gluts, why aren't former contraceptive users more likely to have twins and multiple births?

| Do spiders make noise when moving or feeding? Posted: 09 Oct 2017 08:45 PM PDT Every time I see a spider depicted in a movie or game, they make these weird grunting or scampering noises. Is this true or were they added for the viewers? [link] [comments]  |

| Is there anything alive in the soil 100 feet below ground level? Posted: 09 Oct 2017 02:32 PM PDT Let's say you're drilling around 100' deep. Is there going to be any bacteria in the dirt/clay thats brought up? Is it completely sterile? [link] [comments]  |
| Why do spaceship shuttle launches always go straight up rather than a gradual up like an airplane? Posted: 10 Oct 2017 03:00 AM PDT Why can't/is there a way that shuttles can take off like airplanes and then launch theirselves into orbit? It sounds like an easier job and less cost fighting against gravity going at a 45-75° angle rather than a pure 90° angle. [link] [comments]  |

| What does it mean when someone "predicted a particle"? Posted: 09 Oct 2017 06:53 PM PDT A lot of discussion about the Higgs Boson states that the particle had been predicted by Higgs et al. I've seen that phrase used for a few other particles. It makes sense to me that someone predicted Neptune, for instance, based on perturbations in Uranus' orbit. But it was not confirmed until we actually saw it. But how could one predict the existence of a particle? We've seen it's effects, right? But from what I understand, we haven't actually seen the Higgs Boson, only the things it broke down into? So how is that direct evidence? What am I missing here? [link] [comments]  |

| How strong is a power plant generator magnet? Posted: 10 Oct 2017 04:22 AM PDT Google is always so unhelpful when it comes to more advanced science questions. I already know how it works, I just want to know how strong they are generally. One of the big ones, like coal fired power plants have. Preferably in Teslas over Henrys or something, if you can.

| Posted: 09 Oct 2017 08:59 AM PDT I know a 2D plane is always flat but in this instance it can fold and twist as many times as necessary as long as it doesn't touch itself. I have a picture that further clarifies what I mean and illustrates what I have already discovered for myself, I'll try to find a way to post it in the comments. Pardon my English, it's not my first language. [link] [comments]  |
