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.

    Physically aching and spiritually yearning

    spoiler

    (I rolled my ankle and hurt my hand, that probably sounded thirsty)

    diet/weight loss

    On the bright side, I think my shitty night yesterday helped galvanize my resolve to get back in shape and eat healthier and go trans-vegan

    I realized how out of shape and gross I felt trying to do something athletic again and I am filled with determination to Get Hot and hit my goal weight by my next birthday and I think it's a reasonable target if I cut out snacking and get more disciplined about portion control and will myself to endure the steep shitty hill climb of starting a cardio schedule when you're out of shape

    I want to feel confident wearing crop tops next summer and get a navel piercing or something idk

      Hell yessss! You got this. Love hearing about my gender diverse comrades fitness goals. lets-fucking-go This largely coincides with my own goals once I can exercise again in a few weeks! Not having that outlet post op is making me a bit stir crazy. Give yourself some grace starting out the fitness schedule, every small bit is a victory, and it is so accumulative! Consistency always wins!

      Just an additional note though, you’re already hot. All of my trans/NB comrades are hot. It’s just facts, don’t even try to debate. it-is-known

          A cuuuuuute oaf, is what I am hearing, hehe

          Let’s fucking go with the lunges! I will be in a postop no exercise window for about 4 more weeks, but did walk about 2 hrs today to get my ass moving.

          ankle injury!

          I hear you on the ankle! I really busted mine so bad last month rock climbing that I initially thought I had broken it. Got it xrayed and it was just a really bad sprain. It is still a bit swollen. kitty-cri-texas Ankles take a long time to heal because the area is so far from the heart, so blood just moves slower to get down there, as I understand it. Be sure to elevate it while sleeping if you can! It speeds up healing significantly.

            ankle injury

            It's thankfully not as bad today as I thought it'd be when I rolled it but it's still swollen. I was wearing high top shoes when I hurt it so it could've been a lot worse

            Hope your recovery is good and speedy! trans-heart
