The Youtube channel Engineering Explained went over the Tesla Semi, and the weight of the EV cab should be pretty similar to an ICE cab. Also EV trucks are allowed another 2k pounds.
"Also EV trucks are allowed another 2k pounds" - Ah that explains the 82,000lbs mentioned in the Tesla demo. Max weight for conventional trucks is 80K.
There were about 10-12 concrete barriers as load in the demo each weighing 39,000lbs. So the weight being carried is around 40ishK lbs. So rough approximation - half the weight of the truck is load and half is the truck itself.
This change will have fewer people use Signal. One reason I was able to convince friends and family to start using it is because it is so seamless. I fear that with this change, Signal for most users will simply become unused, resulting in less e2e encrypted messaging overall.
Your project looks amazing. I am in the same situation where I am learning Cantonese because my partner and her family speak it (actually Taishanese, but Cantonese is close enough).
Love the Yale romanization for your included Cantonese flash cards! Definitely going to check this out.
As for listening before speaking: It has been incredibly hard for me to pick out specific vocabulary with colloquial Cantonese in movies and other videos. Native speakers talk too quickly for me right now. I did watch a lot of French movies when learning French and that seemed to help more with comprehension later. I likely just need to spend more time with Cantonese since it is more different to my native tongue than French.
Yeah, very hard to learn Cantonese since it's tonal, but you can do it! For movies, I find it a lot easier to reinforce once I've gotten used to the language a bit. Lot of good Stephen Chow and Jackie Chan films to learn with.
There are podcast packs in the app to get you introduced to Cantonese. I'll keep in touch to see how it goes!
Do you want a cabin in the woods, or a house? I think most people think very little amenities when thinking of a cabin in the woods, but maybe I am biased.
