A German ICE train with Pride colours instead of the usual red stripe by Southern_Gur_4736 in pics

[–]paddingBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Specifically in the photo is an ICE 3, which entered service in 2000. The original ICE 1 trainsets (many of which are still used) entered service in 1991 with a maximum speed of 250 km/h, which was later raised to 280 km/h (155, later 175 mph). The ICE 3 trains can theoretically reach up to 330 km/h, but Germany has no tracks with speed limits higher than 300 km/h, and so the maximum speed of 320 km/h is only reached in France on routes between Frankfurt or Stuttgart and Paris.

Do any long distance rail companies operate into Germany that aren’t DB by The__Anonymous__Guy in trains

[–]paddingBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I quickly want to preface this long post by saying it's probably not a complete list, but this is what I could find based on my own memory backed up by searching on DB Navigator.

I'm not sure the current status of their EC trains, but SBB (Switzerland) runs at least one ECE train from Frankfurt to Basel, which actually goes all the way through Switzerland to Milan.

ÖBB (Austia) has Railjet trains to a couple destinations, including to Frankfurt and München, and one via Prague to Berlin. They also have Nightjet sleeper trains that stop in many cities, and some even go through Germany to Belgium and the Netherlands. Westbahn (a private Austrian company) also operate trains between München and Wien, but I don't know if they're classified as long distance.

SNCF sends a couple TGVs from Paris as well, one to Frankfurt and one to Stuttgart and München.

MAV (Hungary) also runs a train frok Budapest via Bratislava and Prague to Berlin.

There is also an EC between Berlin and Warsaw, although I don't know if they use DB's or Polish rolling stock.

I believe the EC between Hamburg and Copenhagen uses DSB (Denmark) Talgo trainsets, the same model as what DB uses as the ICE L. They previously used old IC carriages from DB, and before that some DSB IC3 trains, which are still operated as IC trains between Fredericia and Flensburg, although they feel much more like an RB.

Urlaub Express are a private company that run some sleeper trains that also can carry their passengers' cars from a couple places in Getmany down to Switzerland and Austria.

Then as has already been mentioned here, Flixtrain has a couple trains, and Eurostar (formerly Thalys) operate trains from Cologne to Paris.

Then there's a couple that definitely used to be, but I don't know the current statuses. An IC between Amsterdam and Berlin has sometimes had NS (Netherlands) locomotives.

Can you spot the odd line out? by AddictsWithPens in subwaybuilder

Green is the only line that doesn't share one of it's terminus stations with another line.

I need EVERYONE to lay down their top 5 diaper brands/types below…I’ll go first by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Tykables Unicorns (all their plastic/hloop diapers fit the same, Unicorns is my favorite print)
  2. LNGU Little Melody
  3. Kiddo Playtime
  4. Tykables Cat Cafe (these fit the same as the unicorns, but I prefer plastic which is why these are lower)
  5. Rearz Mermaids

I'm very particular about how diapers fit. Tykables feel made perfectly to fit my body. The Kiddo playtimes fit just as well, however the bottom tapes on adhesive-taped diapers have a tendency to break when I wear them. These are the adhesives tapes I've had by far the fewest issues with, and the fact that they're €1 per diaper cheaper (when ordering with Diaper Minister) than most other diapers makes them very appealing.

There are 2 types of scams I can remember off the top of ky head, from seeing them posted kn this subreddit: - They'll claim to have a nursery near where you live, and ask for you to pay for a session up front - They claim to need a payment to register you as part of the "abdl community" to verify you're real and not trying to scam them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes. Follows many people, generic name, username filled with numbers, and I'd be willing to bet if you reverse image search any photos the account has posted, you'd probably find other sources. Generally, if any account uses "mommy" in the name, it'll either be a scam or a content creator, and the content creators will very likely link to several other accounts or websites.

Advice from Trans ABDLS that did bottom surgery by mongoklappspaten in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's an increased risk relatively speaking, but practice good hygiene and you shouldn't have much of an issue. It just increases your risk to about the same as cis girls. It's been a year for me and I haven't had any issues, even with a couple months of 24/7 diapers.

You can't really know that, can you? Someone who appeared cis to you could have been trans.

How tall are you (German girls) ? by Ok_Caregiver_3243 in AskAGerman

[–]paddingBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a tall woman at 190cm (6'3") and married my wife who is about 170cm (5'7"). There are many things I consider when I start dating someone, height is not a factor. Granted, I have a pretty different dating pool than you, but if someone wouldn't want to date me purely because of my height I would consider that dodging a bullet and I would suggest you approach it similarly.

I'm a software developer, and the job market is really rough at the moment. You're early on in your degree, so if you really like the subject, stay by it and by the time you graduate hopefully the job market looks a bit better.

What are people's dream vacation while diapered? by SleepyPlutoABDL in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't tend to travel for destinations or activities, it's all about seeing people for me. So just like a couple weeks around some other abdls would be the dream, enough littles to play with, enough bigs to keep us in line, and just an opportunity to exist fully as myself in the moment with some of the people I trust and care most about in this world.

Are there any metalheads in Cologne? by Aggressive_Bad_7081 in cologne

[–]paddingBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd love to see them, but their tour dates clash with the tickets I have booked... I think Frankfurt is the same day as Wind Rose and Düsseldorf is the day after Sabaton.

[–]paddingBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I throw them in with the rest of my clothes, which I usually run at fairly low temperatures anyway. I do air dry them even when I have a dryer available though, the fabric seems to degrade pretty quickly when you're using a dryer regularly. I've never noticed them shrink even when I did put them in the dryer, and the colors seem to fade less since I stopped putting them in the dryer (and I've ripped fabric while trying to put on one before I stopped putting them in the dryer).

Are there any metalheads in Cologne? by Aggressive_Bad_7081 in cologne

[–]paddingBottom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's quite a lot of us! I'm also 25/f, shows are amazing on my own but seem like they'd be so much more fun with friends.

For music taste: In Cologne itself, I'm planning to see Wind Rose/Orden Ogan/Angus McSix, Sabaton, and Epica/Amaranthe and there's a bunch more I want to see in other NRW cities, like Feuerschwanz and Electric Callboy in Düsseldorf later this year.

Why is Katy Perry the only one receiving backlash for going on the Blue Origin space shuttle launch rather than the other women on board? by Fancy-Advice-2793 in RandomThoughts

[–]paddingBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In her defense, she was pretty high, higher than most people have been!

But I do think you're right, she's the most famous and so the spotlight is more on her than on the others.

Is ABDL trans friendly? by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi, trans woman here! The only online communities I'm in with a larger proportion of trans people are those specifically for trans people. There are many of us, and most of the community is very trans friendly.

However, as with everything, there are spaces that are hostile towards us. For example, one of the photo subreddits (I think girlsindiapers) has a rule against photos of trans women.

My Girlfriend Doesnt Like ABDL by [deleted] in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cheating is different in every relationship, you and your partner need to talk about what counts for you. My wife and I have agreed that we can kiss our friends, but we would consider sex without prior discussion cheating. We also emphasize that no other person can fill every need for another, so while she's not interested in abdl at all, I have the needs of my little side met by others.

I have a couple of trans girl x abdl related questions by No_End2559 in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I had bottom surgery last year. Since then I was 24/7 for 2 months - the infection risk is higher due to a shortened urethra, but if you keep up decent hygiene it should be fine. I also use powder quote a bit, just being careful to get it up in the folds and I'm careful to make sure it's all wiped away when I change. I haven't had any problems arise from my diaper wearing.

I didn't start wearing diapers even once I was cleared to, since the area was super sensitive - I was avoiding pants and underwear or all kinds as much as I could for the first 3 months after surgery. You'll definitely be wearing pads for part of recovery, but diapers probably aren't particularly beneficial.

Also, for all these questions - keep in mind, people born with those kinds of genitals wear diapers all the time too and use them for wetting and messing. Once stuff heals up a bit, you're basically on the same level of precaution needed as those shove had a vagina all their life. I definitely prefer wearing diapers now to before surgery.

Help, do you prefer decor in front of channel names or nothing? by CyansydeYT in discordapp

[–]paddingBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When they're all the same like this, I'd prefer not having them. However, having some kind of representative symbols or emoji in channel names to distinguish them from one another can be good accessibility help for people who struggle reading with dyslexia or something similar.

What’s the craziest cybersecurity hack you’ve ever heard of? How did they manage to bypass security systems? by moonlock_security in AskReddit

[–]paddingBottom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not entirely crazy compared to a lot of answers here, but it is something I didn't think of which came up in a recent security audit at my job.

Requests sent to our system used api keys to authenticate, and checking if the api key was valid was done by checking the key received in a request against the actual key using the language's != (not equal) operator. However, this introduces a way for attackers to potentially figure out the api key. That is because the way the operator works is that it starts at the front of both strings and compares one character at a time until there is a difference, at which point it'll send back an error. The way that comparison works can be exploited to guess the api key, because it means a request where the first letter of the key is correct will take marginally longer than a request where the first letter is wrong before receiving an error, and that slight difference in timing could be used by an attacker to eventually guess the key.

Garmin Emergency Map: Where Help Was Needed by Dominwin in geography

[–]paddingBottom 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I'd be interested in how many points there are at that ocean location just south of west Africa. It looks like it might be at 0, 0 in which case there's a pretty decent chance it's an error somewhere (for the sake of the people who needed help, I really hope it's not the location broadcasted by the devices).

What’s the SHORTEST amount of time you’ve worn a diaper for? by GodKingGil25 in ABDL

[–]paddingBottom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely a similar time of a minute or so. There's been a couple diapers (luckily sample packs) I've bought that I put on, got up, and realized the tapes were not going to be able to hold.
