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.

Anyone got that screenshot saying that trans people like Celeste because it gives us unrealistic fantasies of double-jumping? It was posted on Hexbear some days ago but I can't find it.

Ugh, my clothes for work feel so bad. I could really feel the difference between the weekend and today based off of that alone. Anybody know how I can femme up jeans and a really bad sweatshirt? I'm aware I could probably get it a size down, but I need some other ideas in case that doesn't work
In other news, I binged Nevada. What a horrible idea, now there's so many thoughts going through my head. This happens every time I binge something, but I can't seem to put stuff down once I get into it.
ALRIGHT NERDS
Bought a couple fuckin, As Recommended By Hairsnobs (r/curlygirl rec) shampoo and conditioners. Primarily the HE Jojoba + Lavender curl conditioner, and the hemp oil frizz control shampoo. Only my fourth or so shampoo/conditioner combo. Please work.
I had a dream about getting to the top of the list of bottom surgery and going to the clini to get it on!! I was mostly excited - although they did keep asking me to do weirder tasks also

I was bummed I hadn't made a copy of my current fock for after, but I didn't let that be a concern.
The tasks were like, nursing skill/knowledge quizzes but at some point the testing people left without a word and apparently I "passed" the final test by finding them
You know, sometimes I just think about how many wild turns life can take you. When I was a kid, I honest to god had no idea where life was going to take me. All of it seemed so mysterious and unimaginable what it would even be like
Today I looked down at my copy of Settlers. Inside of it is a little business card reminding me of my next Planned Parenthood appointment, and I'm off to go get my eyebrows done this afternoon. "A copy of Settlers with an HRT appointment reminder card". God, this really is just how life turns out, huh? My eight year old ass never would have guessed in the slightest
I thought I'd either end up a pro baseball player, zookeeper, or train conductor when I was eight lmao
Now I'm a commie woodworker/gardener with a bag full of Girl in my bedroom (I keep my pills in it, it's shiny and hard to misplace)

Show
(I quit watching the pony show around when Twilight became an alicorn, is any of it after that any good? I found the gay lil' bag in a thrift store and thought it was cute and it's convenient for keeping pill bottles from getting lost, pls no bully)
Maybe some of it is thinner layers, but acetone works so much better to remove nail polish then the "gentle" removers. I'm still surprised it just wiped away, not an issue at all.
Acetone fucks, I use it myself tbh. I don't think it damages your nails if you aren't like spamming it, so.

damn i think i could make a plan to transition to look like this in about 5 years
I just had a level 5 metapod break out of 5 pokeballs in a row, wtf is this cracked metapods cachrate
just did me a huge solid and permanently banned my account with no warning. I cannot even recover the account. Thanks for the push I needed to never go back to that shithole.Godspeed You Black Emperor just released a new record and it goes so hard.
I'm sorry for being so naive but I was charmed by Tim Walz initially. And his work as governor seemed promising.
So I know that I deserve to be disappointed but it was actually disorienting to see someone who reminds me of my best friends Dad war mongering in regards to Iran .
We just can't have anything nice, can we.
I was fortunate to have a friend in Minnesota who was like "fuck no I hate that dude he sucks".
They're holding his meemaw's tater tot hot dish recipe hostage at a CIA black site
if you're very lazy like me and like to enjoy other folks playlists I found out if you just put 'wlw' into spotify search there are a lot of super sapphic playlists already made by those blessed unlazies
The lady at the Visa office said I look no older than 21 when she saw my age.
idk how much of that was just flattery.
A few years back I was boarding a long-distance bus ride and when the guy asked for my ID he looked back and forth a few times before saying "you look young!" like he was angry with me about that.
More recently though a coworker told me she thought I was in my 40s
Trans women just age kinda funny I guess.
She also called my hair beautiful.
Maybe she was just being nice because she could tell I was trans.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!
My wife told that she stopped complimenting boys when the 100th one in a row thought it meant she wanted to make out.
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.
impossible, that would require me to first look like a girl.
I love trains even though Amtrak is the limit of my experience. When i ran away from home at 16 I took trains all the way from the east coast to Portland. It took 48 hours on the Empire Builder out of Chicago. A liberating, magical journey for me from hell to heaven.
Everyone on the train was super nice to me, I ate with strangers in the dining car and compared to crossing country on Greyhound it was extremely deluxe.
There is a train on the west coast called the Coast Starlight and it has a magnificent observation car with huge padded chairs that swivel to face outwards, and the walls are almost all clear. If you're lucky you can sit on the ocean side and just chill out to the most breathtaking scenery for hours.
up with trains!
