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.

I changed to rectal prog and I've been getting pretty insane nightmares. Last night I had this nightmare where I had bugs crawling out of me and I had to shave my head :( anyone else have really vivid dreqms on prog?
Mine were definitely more vivid but still pretty prosaic as far as dreams go. Sure I'll get the occasional classic like all my teeth falling out or "oh no I forgot to wear pants and panties to work" but mostly it's work stuff, or family stuff, or my ex stuff etc that only seems strange when I wake up and think with the full might of my rational waking brain
This was like a really scary dream I had these little bugs that would drill into my skin. Then I had to cut off alll my hair to cleanse myself or something. Then I had holes in my arms and ants were crawling out of them and crawling in. I woke up and like had to slow my breathing. Ive been getting nightmares like this or vivid strange dreams every night since starting prog rectally
My nightmares on starting prog was like "you're back with your ex and you want to beeee 👻" that was about the worst of it for me.
But wow, that's an intense nightmare though. Thankfully, it's only a dream and you'll soon be over it as it fades. More vivid dreams are a known side effect, prog also generally helps with sleep (dunno why it just does). Hopefully they'll calm down, and it's not like you have to be on prog forever anyway.
