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.

    Oh I get that feel too.

    My wife told that she stopped complimenting boys when the 100th one in a row thought it meant she wanted to make out. Whereas women will take the compliment and not make it weird!

    Maybe your hair just looked nice and you look like a person who can take a compliment!

      100 in a row? Not even the occasional person who just assumed that she's being sarcastic and actually insulting them?

        well i imagine she probably was being hyperbolic and then i amplified that? i don't believe she kept count. She changed the way she dresses and behaves because of unwanted attention from men at work and in public though and generally feels annoyed that she had to learn to be less friendly to be left alone that way.

        i'm inheriting a ton of lovely femme clothes from her and they are all very lightly used vs the masculine stuff she wears to work and that was her explanation why when I asked why she didn't wear the pretty stuff more.
