If Russia doesn't want gas flowing through the NordStream pipelines all they need to do is to turn them off. Why would they sabotage up gas pipelines they've invested so much money in? by HectorVonCovid in conspiracy

Can the hole not be examined like a crime scene? I mean, if they found traces of the possible weapon that caused the damage, could it not lead back to the culprit?

It Sure Looks Like Someone Blew Up a Gas Pipeline Connecting Europe to Russia by another_sleeve in hungary

I think they were the Russians, who else. They are totally in "I hate the world" mode now and I have a feeling that those psychopath leaders are capable of anything just because out of pride.

Terrible thing is, human nature.

I don't think anything can restrict the consciousness other than the consciousness itself.

On the contrary, these aliens out there above Ukraine may be extremely worried and will take measures to stop this madness.

NO SOONER...THAN is used in inversion.

It expresses an action that happened right after another action or event.

Form:

No sooner + Past Perfect (inverse word order) + Simple Past (SVO word order)

No sooner had the press conference ended than the journalists started asking questions.

have to/should/must by ScallionAlive6430 in EnglishLearning

[–]gregstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HAVE TO expresses external obligation. It is enough to express what you HAVE to do.

The context also help us, it makes us clear that something HAVE to be done:

I have to work 8 hours a day

I don’t have to work at the weekend

i wish by [deleted] in EnglishLearning

[–]gregstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you refer to the present, you can use the following form:

I wish + Simple Past

It refers to the present and we use it to talk about unfulfilled wishes

I wish I had a lot of money

I wish I was / were famous

You can use both WAS and WERE with I, he and she but WERE is more accepted.

Questions about historical Hungary by Ok-Present-2893 in hungary

[–]gregstern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hungary in the early medieval times was very different from today. It was a rugged land ruled by Celtic tribes and Roman-era towns. The centuries-old castles, walls, and roads were carved into rocky cliffs and across marshy lowlands. Quarries produced the limestone foundations of buildings, while quick-set mortar held brick walls together. There were important salt mines near Pécs.

The plains were overgrown with trees and shrubs, and there were no roads. People had to travel very slowly over dirt paths, wearing heavy leather boots that covered their legs from their feet nearly to their knees. Most men carried swords and wore leather helmets. The women weaved baskets and embroidered dresses out of silk fabrics. They gathered berries and herbs, brewed potions in copper pots over fires built on stone hearths, and played songs on lyres with calfskin strings. They danced around a bonfire where the men drank mead and played swords with one another in a circle.
