I'm doing some conlanging for a book and I'm having trouble finding the word for how we can take a verb, add -er at the end, and get a word for a person who does that thing. For example, a driver is someone who drives, a commander is someone who commands, a lawyer is someone who laws, and a finger is someone who fings. I am having trouble finding out how other languages noun their verbs in this way since I don't know what this thing is called. Pls halp.

Small Criminal Got Preempted

The context is that this bnuuy hopped over the garden fence to munch on some veggies, but couldn't jump back out. He was then chased mercilessly by The Claw ๐Ÿซณ which just wanted to free him from his imprisonment

I was wondering why I couldn't find the source on !aww. Lmao I have the memory of a goldfish

Technically right, but they might use a different kind of toothbrush. If you are a hard brusher and use a hard toothbrush, you could damage your enamel.

There was a study done recently that showed that men gossip more then women.

Huh. Been a while since I've seen Xenia in the wild

Fun fact: Almost every species of jumping spider evolved color vision separately.

The skyline from the lake today

I hope Canada is doing ok with these fires

 

So, Ive recently gotten back into writing and been thinking about how much more fun it would be to write Outside. Problem is, the sun hates screens. I have an Alphawrite Neo, of course, but I've always been insecure about lugging a weird educational device around with me in public. So I started looking into Eink tablets that could be used with a keyboard and

Jesus H. Christ, that price tag!

I just want something to type on something. Apparently thats strange, so maybe there will be something cheaper as just a word processor. It seems that the only reasonable offering here is the Freewrite Traveler, though, so I look it up and

WHYโ€ฝ It's the same price!

Okay, maybe I could just get a Raspberry Pi 400 and attach an eInk monitor to it. Apparently, this is not the usual use-case for E-ink, but there are in fact e-ink monitors out there! Most were around a thousand dollars for some reason, but here is the cheapest one I could find:

That's around the price point of a Boox Go, for reference, which has a really slow screen refresh rate.

Why is there no affordable e-paper products that arent a pain to use? I am aware of cheaper ones, but the ones ive seen reviews if aren't able to keep up with typing in a way that seems responsive. And I'm aware that you can find eink displays (as in the component) for as low as $30, so they should be able to be cheaper than this!
