The ETR 600 is a class of trains built by Alstom, and are used on the routes between Roma-Bolzano and Roma-Trieste. The train tilts, using Pendolino technology, allowing higher speeds to be maintained through corners without causing discomfort to passengers. The trains are operated by Trenitalia, originally under the Frecciargento (Silver Arrow) branding used for trains capable of travelling between 250 km/h and 285 km/h, In 2022 they were rebranded under Frecciarossa (Red Arrow) after the Frecciargento branding was retired.
The ETR 600 has also been adapted for use in China as the China Railway CRH5 Hexie. Initially 60 sets were ordered, of which nine were manufactured by Alstom and 51 by CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles. Since, another 80 sets have been created for a total of 140, operating across China’s north from Beijing to Ürümqi.

meant to post about this last week but I’m delighted with my dye job. I’m naturally a dirty blonde/light brunette depending on the season, with some slight red undertones (stealing valor there tbh, sadly didn’t fully inherit that from my mother). I went for like a super deep cherry red, and I’m absolutely loving the result. my hair is easily my favourite physical feature so I’m preening over it even more than usual. washed and conditioned tonight and my curls look great. I was also pleased that I got it done right in time for [personal special occasion] last week where I got to hang out with some of my buds and felt I looked great, even put a full face on which ive also been getting more confident with! I’ve been pretty freaking depressed lately but I thought I’d push myself to make a positive post hehe. love all my trans comrades!
I successfully convinced the gender clinic I’m trans enough to go on the bottom surgery wait list 💪
Now it’s only another year long wait
A thoroughly convincing terminal encounter
Soft drinks of choice
When Idsrink soda it would be root beer but I barely drink soda
coke zero every day
Good root beer.
Root beer or sprite, depends on if its with dinner or on its own. Root beer is a bit much if I’m eating, not really what I want.
Don’t drink soda anymore, but I’d have to go with either root beer or ginger ale/beer.
Ginger ale or a sparkling ice depending on how much i feel like watching my waistline
wtf is rootbeer a trans thing, I loooooved root beer before I had to worry about calories. My mom when she was pregnant with me craved root beer (any other time in her life she thought it was gross)
The zero calorie A&W root beer tastes really good imo, could be worth a try.
All soda is poisonous but root beer is tasty.
can I say monster? ._.
HEY, EVERYBODY!! IT’S LEIF ERIKSON DAY!!!
I have so many razor bumps on my body
Guy I know that lives 30 minutes from Tampa didn’t evacuate
He’s high enough that he shouldn’t get hit by the storm surge but stillI’m so sick of having no motivation not gonna lie
the existence of a trans mega has made the main mega much less interesting
Complimented a person at the coming out week march on having cool pins of bands and 80s gay rights symbolism but after that I saw they had a fucking 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇹🇼pinset that I didn’t notice lmfao I hate this fucking place
That’s like the worst twitter handle irl
Fuck I feel dirty now it’s like telling an old man that he has a cool sweater and realizing that he was Donald Rumsfeld once he walks away (except I’ve gotta march with this person who is wearing a nato pin next to a crossed ameri-israel flags pin for the next hour so I can’t risk fucking it over until the next club meeting)
This is one of the reasons they were fighting for lgbt liberation vs lgbt integration lol
Loving the train theme 🚂
girls <3
me every 2 minutes
Yeah all I really want is
Girls
Cause in the morning it’s
Girls
And in the evening it’s
Girls
I like the way that they
Walk
And it’s chill to hear them
Talk
drugs, weird beverage sicko discovery
Making kratom tea with mugicha and sweetening it with stevia makes a surprisingly good iced tea, the barley flavor and sweetness really mask the acrid/bitter taste of kratom
☕7.5/10, actually not bad
Sending this to a friend who uses kratom for their anxiety.
Tell them they’ll probably want an opaque bottle to put it in too, it looks pretty gross lol
I really want to move to a bigger city and start everything from scratch. Leave all the people and places associated with my my old life behind. But I’m probably just gonna be stuck here forever instead
Which city?
Any of the top 4 biggest cities in Norway
Vi snakker Norsk nå (I took ONE undergrad Norwegian class and besides that, I only remember det er bitende kaldt i dag lol). Tromsø and Trondheim seemed pretty from the pictures
Skjønnhet er subjektivt. Når det er sagt, så mener jeg at de fleste byer i Norge er veldig stygg, og det er hovedsaklig på grunn av hvor bilsentrisk de alle er. You pretty much have to live in one of the biggest cities if you want to avoid the suburban sprawl and strip malls. It’s part of the reason I want to move.
Forever is a long time… if you want to make it happen it can happen…
Idk, seems like a very idealist statement. So much would have to change in order for that to happen. I can’t even get hired for the most basic of jobs in the city I currently live in, how am I supposed to get hired for a job in another city? The only possibility I see is if I get another education, but that’s not happening anytime soon.
I don’t have much of an educarion, I’ve worked my way out of dirt to work in different cities. I also moved countries.
I’m too eepy to continue this conversation. I’ll just say that we’re two different people, and I’m not necessarily capable of doing the same things as you. Maybe I’ll figure something out, or maybe not. Who knows.
Very relatable
I have a song I like that really hits that nerve but idk if you’d want something sad/angry like that to listen to
Sounds perfect. I’m very much in the mood for that kind of music
Boomer alert -
The kids nowadays are young enough to have not grown up with optical media, so you hear a lot about “movie CDs are rotting!!!” in sloptube comments or whatever. I pretty much took this as a falsehood; burned CD-R/RW discs and DVD + and - R/RW discs do often quit, 'cause of the way the laser has to burn the pits and lands into the dye of the disc or whatever. But pressed discs? Maybe Laserdiscs, but I have CDs from like 1986 that are still in perfect playing shape. A copy of “Decade” with literal holes in the plastic player that still plays and rips perfectly.
Recently though I actually found a disc that might be “rotting”, which is a 1997 (or whatever) DVD copy of Interview With The Vampire. The problematic vampire yaoi made me fight to watch it, because the disc doesn’t really have any scratches, but the data layer at the outer edge of the disc (where the layer change happens) has little nicks and chunks missing, even though the plastic surrounding it is fine. So my Sony 4K player freaks out when it hits the halfway mark, and skips like five minutes because the data is actually missing. PC drives don’t do much better, so like… wow, I wonder if this is a manufacturing defect or genuine rot? Wild though, first pressed disc I’ve ever bought that had non-scratch issues…
I really want to see a closeup of what this looks like. Ive had a couple discs where the reflective label comes off, but never have I heard of the data layer being damaged other than scratches… Thats super fascinating
Just kinda looks like the edge is missing, nicks in the edge:
Kids today don’t know about HitClipz
Real…
I changed to rectal prog and I’ve been getting pretty insane nightmares. Last night I had this nightmare where I had bugs crawling out of me and I had to shave my head :( anyone else have really vivid dreqms on prog?
