Compassion is a dish best shared.
I understand that a person(s) in immediate crisis isn't considering much more than the agony they are facing.
I don't have much compassion on the jailers who allowed two juveniles to commit suicide.

As youngster ( I am thinking 15 years old ) I worked at a snack stand at a local concert venue. We sold hot dogs pizza chips and Pepsi.
There were 2 entrances each manned by security to prevent booze and or food inside.
We had 3 stands inside and two outside, one near each entrance.
The outside stands were preferred as they were generally slower than the inside stands.
And security confiscated a lot of booze.
After filling their vehicles with their choice of bounty, they would trade a case of beer for couple of hotdogs or slices of pizza.
We had 2 large plastic containers full of ice and Pepsi's. It wasn't uncommon for 1 or both to be filled with beer at the end of the night.
I worked with a Mutt and Jeff pair, and at least one of the pair would work an outside stand.
In short order they both became alcoholics.
Busted for possession of heroin, they were jailed in separate cells in which they hung themselves.
I found it to be a very selfish act and consider it so in most cases.
I also think in their case it was due in part due to their immaturity and illicit substance use.
They were around my age when it happened.
I don't think of it often... but every August they come to mind.

Regrets in advance for my cheekiness
It is A pech's fault

If the product were to be subject to being labeled "Organic" in the USA' its production, processing, handling and labeling as such would be subject to greater regulation under USDA standards. That being said "buyers beware" and a close examination of both USDA and FDA standards would be a great idea,

The firing is staggered to spread out the energy expenditure temporally. Perhaps that may even extend across lifetimes...
the frozen crankshaft would result in a explosion
the energy must dissipate some how

I enjoy a bit of wit and dry humor.

Like A pech or No galis often provide both for an instance.
Brief as it maybe they are not known for twisting their drawers...

I can understand looking at the death toll in relation to what was presented by various news sources and feeling somewhat underwhelmed, but to me there is something rather callous, distasteful and disrespectful in referring to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people as a “f#@king joke.”This bears repeating!
I bolded for emphasis.

I have been known to swear,
(in the olden days use cuss words...)
and leaving nothing out may both take some time,
and shock all but the most :
Mature,
Liberal,**
**(traveling in the 70's,
with my not so liberal Aunt and Uncle
on a highway in Arizona,
during Spring break,
a car full of youngsters,
-damn carpetbaggers mind you-,
passed my uncle's car.
and whilst doing so
both
the front seat passenger
and rear seat passengers,
dropped their drawers
shining a few full moons ..
Uncle wrestled a pistol,
a large caliber revolver,
from what we called the
"glove box"
my uncle,
grabbing the gun,
and drawing down,
on the miscreants,
taught me high speed pursuit
techniques to avoid...
and added to my vocabulary*
encouraged a new
unofficial land speed record?
Well travelled,
Unapologetic,
*A major part of my education on western swear words, and how not to drive.
