Trans Megathread for the Week of 2024-10-07 to 2024-10-13 - ETR 600

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.

    Cool relative is in town and wanted to go out and do stuff with me

    Went out to dinner which I never do and everything was disappointing

    Went to the batting cage, rolled my ankle and jammed my thumb

    Went to a cat café and you have to book appointments in advance to actually go in and play with the kitties so I just got a cute mug for my mom

    Went to a barcade and it was really loud and overwhelming and the non alcoholic IPA was underwhelming and a little flat

    Had a really bad headache and had to drive home in the dark and LED headlights made it worse

    I think I'm just allergic to outside and fun

    Shit like this makes me aware that I'm probably way more spectrum-y than I usually think

    Every attempt to Make Myself Have Fun feels magnetically repulsed by me and just leaves me exhausted and sad about how bad I am at interacting with the outside world

    I feel like I need a week in bed in low lights and recording booth sound panels on my walls now

    I'm just not cut out for this shit
