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.

    drugs but uh more relevant this time

    so i'm AuDHD, but historically speaking, amphetamines have had a p drastic effect on me. like, i'd actually be wanting to leave the house & loved just talking w/ ppl about anything & everything, all through the night. i'd be getting chores done like it's nothing. now tho? i'd rather stay. quietly in bed & use my newfound focus to shove things into my brain. it's balancing my emotions & in fact, making it easier for me to rest in the clutches of insomnia.

    there's been quite a lot going on over the last year or so & i often can't be sure what's what, but i gotta wonder, does anyone feel like hrt has changed the way they react to certain chemicals?

      weed/booze

      I used to be a "everyone knows I'm high and it's gonna be like this forever" type person on weed, then it became a "let's get nachos and cuddle and play video games" type person on weed (I haven't gotten stoned in a long time though)

      Went from a maudlin "get sad and ruminate" kinda drunk to a "let me show you this band and tell you stuff I know about their gear and what members were in which other bands" type drunk to a nyet not-drunk
