Oh, we're past that. In 2022 they made restrictions on wood cutting more lax, allowing felling of trees in previously protected areas. It caused pretty bad health issues in the winter in smaller towns, especially in valleys where the chimney smoke can't even leave the area.

So way into the 21st century, the government actually promoted heating with wood (partly from previously protected areas), and the next year when solar power gained some popularity, they made it harder and more expensive/less profitable to install solar panels and connect them to the grid. All this shortly after their propaganda slogan "Hungary is going forward, not backward".

While we're at it, make every name start with the surname. I understand why the majority of countries/languages start names with the forename, but finding people in a list of names is just so much easier when they are naturally called Swift Taylor and DeVito Danny.

I can also imagine this happens when you get to ten, then the algorithm sees the increment over nine, modifies the offset, and then at ten you delete one tab, but the algorithm doesn't expect you to downgrade from double digits and keeps the offset designed for double digits.

I bet at least one person can play her. Now we just need to find out if she's a wind instrument or a percussion one.

The e at the end of the word makes the previous syllable longer. See saxophone/mastodon, Brightstone/Brighton, trampoline/mandolin, etc.

I BET there are a buttload of exceptions, but removing the e from the end of those words might mess with the pronunciation.
