But term is all relative, long term means something different for everyone.
A four week t-bill has the same term as a hugely out of the money long call on a meme stock, and yet one is a tried and true investment strategy and the other is very clearly gambling.
The difference isn’t the time, it’s the risk profile.
Ultimately it gets to the point of, is the risk higher than the risk of money in a bank account.
Given that (at least in the us) money sitting in a checking account is 100% risk with guaranteed negative returns (over time inflation will outpace interest), there are investments that can generally be considered safer (bonds, tbills, etc) than just holding dollar bills.
This is a bad outlook, there are plenty of low risk investment strategies that are meant as income generation, and it’s generally what you should switch to as you start needing to cash in on your savings, these are things like laddered tbills and dividend stocks.
You can go slightly riskier doing things like wheeling options if your tolerance is higher.
Investment profiles differ for a reason and the term of the investment is just part of the strategy.
I should add that ‘buy and hold’ does not make something not a gamble.
If I told you I bought a random crypto currency or penny stock with no future or fundamentals and plan to hold on to it for 10 years because I just know it’s gonna hit big, would you not consider that a gamble?
Voter registration may also affect relationships (professional or otherwise)
That’s because the country’s name is The Democratic Republic of the Congo.
I don’t know of any country whose name doesn’t officially include ‘The’ (such as The United States, or The United Kingdom, or the aforementioned Congo) and gets an article superficially added.
The only reason I can think of for Ukraine is that it used to be part of another country and it’s just a holdover of when it was called ‘The Ukrainian Socialist Republic’
As far as the presence of articles (or lack thereof) in Russian, I’m aware, but we aren’t talking about the Russian name of the country, so much as the English.
The United States, which is plural, you are referring to the collection of states.
For most things you throw away, you can maybe get 50 cents at the a scrapper, of they even take the item
Nothing is free. Equipment costs money and time to build, operate, maintain, and repair.
Corporations can do all of those things while also operating as a non profit
Conservatives learn about set theory, transphobes in shambles.
It hasn’t been determined by a court whether or not yuzu did anything wrong, they settled out of court.
So does lemmy, so does matrix if that’s what the admin wants to do.
It’s also just not at all the same thing.
An aircraft mechanic can’t just go out on his five minute break and smoke a j and go back to it.

This video does a great job explaining how it works.
It has to do with system calls for stopping the disc that multi disc games would use.
Edit: I’m a dummy and didn’t realize this video was posted in the op.
Yes that doesn’t mean that opensubtitles can’t take their new found savings and use it to weed out poor quality submissions.
Wikipedia editors do it for free and yet they still maintain a high standard of quality.
They often do not include many languages, sure if you want English subtitles it’s likely they will be there. But good luck getting subtitles for movies and shows that didn’t have an official in the given country.
Do they include subtitles for every language?
So frustrating when a subtitle ad pops up spoiling that a movie is ending.
Something dramatic happening on screen and then “you can advertise on opensubtitles” appears on the bottom letting you know that there is 10 seconds left and spoiling any tension or drama in the scene.
I can download ten subtitles just trying to find one good one for a single TV show episode
Imo if they want to be so strict with downloading subtitles, they should raise the quality standards for the subtitles that are submitted.
I know too many people whose dogs and cats died from getting run over.
Also, I was bit in the face by an off leash dog as a child, went to the hospital, they had to stitch my lips back together.
A “well trained dog” is very subjective and requires a well disciplined person, and a “well trained dog” can still get confused, scared, or angry.
It’s like saying seatbelts are absurd because a good driver doesn’t crash.
