@robwords.bsky.social In Swedish there's a term for post-work drinks "afterwork". This is basically a Swedish word, despite having English components, because afaik it only exists there.
Is this common, that a language coins new words from loanwords? Is there a name for it?

@robwords.bsky.social @jesszafarris.bsky.social Do either of you know what's going on when companies omit the definite article when talking about their products?
Instead of "When you use the iPhone", it's "When you use iPhone".
I don't know why, but it really winds me up.

Recording vocal harmonies for a new song. I think having been in a choir for a few years now is really helping.

Finally got round to framing @amygoodchild.bsky.social 's prints and put them up on the wall my my hall. Very cool knowing that despite this being digital art, because it's generative no one else has exactly the same version as me.

Watched a video about the history of Magic Eye this morning, and wondered if, unlike in the 90s, I can see them now. Turns out I can 😃
So I decided to have a go at making my own. A quick fiddle with the mist pass in Blender and voila!

Spent a day and a half trying to figure out the chords to something I wrote a year ago. Busted out the spectrum analyser to see which notes were in each chord.
Realised that the first chord was physically impossible on guitar unless there was a capo at fret two.

New cats are siblings so we were looking at mythological names. Two of the suggestions were Magna and Maia.
We noticed the ma- prefix, but figured since one is Germanic and the other is Hellenic if there's a shared root it must be from PIE. We were right!
