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.

    I keep waking up normally but quickly sliding into the most foul fucking moods ever. Maybe it's just hormonal but Idk, should I stop taking my gabapentin or something?

      Bad moods and irritability can be side effects of gabapentin, it sucks. It can work really good for nerve pain (or epilepsy which I think is the main indication). Kind of a shitty balancing act, be irritable and have awful moods or stop seizures/help with chronic pain... if it doesn't work for you there's alternatives, hopefully you land on something where the side effects aren't too bad

        cw weird drug shit idk why im like this

        I'm an offlabel casualty of the opioid epidemic! and using it for anxiety, for which it works decently, it's kind of like being drunk without drunk if that makes any sense. It does also help with chronic pain but I'm taking a different low dose opioid for that! omori-manic I don't like being shitty and irritable though Idk.

          Hopefully you and your prescriber can figure out something that works better in terms of side effects meow-hug

            I might just quit it Idk. How worth it is it to blunt the flight-or-fight response if all this is the consequence? Shit also must have a really short half life Idk.
