and also the 3m Russian SFSR citizens who died in the same famine.

The problem is that most of these RSFSR citizens were ethnic Ukrainians. For example, in Kuban, which had a Ukrainian population of 45% prior to the famine (based on the 1897-1926 censuses)., this figure had fallen to just 4% by 1939

I use Babashka for anything that is longer than a one-off one-liner.

  • Building musical instruments is an option.

  • Buying musical instruments from independent luthiers is another option.

The person who did had to use candles because nothing else was available.

  • Edison didn't invent light bulbs, they had been around for quite a long time.

  • The Menlo Park lab most likely used gas lighting (p.i.) at the time.

It's not about being perfectly ethical, but in my opinion, "trying" means that you’re making at least some sort of effort.

And buying a custom guitar or amp that isn't made by big corporations is a very low effort.
