Nettoförmögenhet inkl bostad minus lån, eller kapital som kan likvideras rimligt enkelt? Netto låter det lågt om jag ska vara ärlig men det skiljer sig ju åt väldigt mycket per delstat. 25 MSEK är listpriset för ett ordinärt hus i ett ordinärt område i Bay Area, t ex: www.zillow.com/homedetails/...

3/3:
With Vocals but Similar Energy
“Back Pocket” – bouncy, catchy, and clean — not bass-focused but rhythmically tight.
“Animal Spirits” – bright horns, tight rhythm section, and infectious energy.

2/3:
Tight Grooves & Funky Jams
“Fugue State” – strong clavinet and bass interaction, with a tight funk rhythm.
“Disco Ulysses (Instrumental)” – an instrumental jam with a great upbeat tempo.
“Daddy, He Got a Tesla” – quirky, with a funky beat and slick production.

ChatGPT (sorry) 1/3:
“Beastly” – another standout bass-driven instrumental, more laid-back but equally funky
“Cory Wong” – tight, rhythmic instrumental named after their guitarist, full of clean funk riffs
“Birds of a Feather, We Rock Together” – killer groove and fun arrangement, though with vocals

Which is what I do. But the metadata presented to me says I'm expected to read it in 7-8 hours.

Screenshot of data about an ebook, saying 99k words / 336 pages takes 7-8 hours to read.

Do people really read 99k words in 7-8 hours? There are fast readers for sure, but this kind of metadata always puts me off. It kind of tells me I'm not a good (enough) reader. #Booksky
