There are 3 Mario Brothers, not two. Mario and Luigi have a third brother. Let's examine the evidence.

Mario Mario (Mario is Mario's in-canon actual last name)
Occupation: plumber
Height: short
Weight: muscular (punches bricks)
Favorite color: red

Luigi Mario
Occupation: also plumber
Height: tall
Weight: slender (floaty jump)
Favorite color: green

Doctor Mario (first name unknown)
Occupation: doctor (not a plumber)
Height: average (does not need to eat a mushroom to already be about Luigi's height)
Weight: average (not slender like Luigi)
Favorite color: white (wears a doctor's outfit with no red cap)

In addition, all three brothers are Italian. And what are the colors of the Italian flag? That's right. Red, green, and white. Doctor Mario is the third brother in the Mario family.



There's no way to ascertain whether Kara Harris is the first Black woman to attain Japan's highest certification in kimono teaching and styling, but she is undoubtedly a rarity. japantimes.co.jp/community/202โ€ฆ #community #ourlives #kimono #instructor #blackwomeninjapan

I'm pretty happy to have switched this year after 10 years of primarily Ubuntu to Linux Mint Debian Edition 6 (LMDE6).

Updating to the latest LibreOffice took some effort, as did setting up the swap space.

My one big complaint is that the lock screen sometimes reveales what it should hide.



"A new green smelter wouldnโ€™t just boost supplies of primary #aluminum for making clean energy technologies. The facility, with its voracious electricity appetite, is also expected to accelerate the regionโ€™s buildout of #CleanEnergy capacity, which has lagged behind that of many other states. "

Every year my supervisor asks us for "getting to know you" slides. I always have a bullet point about having built a tiny house, and then people want to know more. This time, the build got its own slide.


Photography is increasingly becoming my main coping mechanism for big picture dread. It pulls me back to the present, and reminds me of how remarkable it is that we are all here. (Inspired by @idzieโ€™s monarch musings)

โ€ฆ haben die #Netzanbieter ja. Im Moment flattern kg an #Werbung fรผr #Glasfaseranschlรผsse bei mir in den #Briefkasten, aber durch die Bank kann mir keiner sagen wann denn รผberhaupt geplant wird. Ich habe alle angefragt und niemand will die Downtown verkabeln.

Das Bild steht als Beispiel fรผr alle anderen #Anbieter.

Bei Ihnen ist der #Glasfaserausbau noch nicht geplant! Wir kรถnnen Ihnen aber ein tolles #DSL-Angebot machen!

Tummelt sich der Holzwurm im Kanal,
Und der Telekom scheint's egal,

Dann ist die Faser seit Jahren schon verdorben,
Wird aber vom Wurm, und der Telekom, immer noch beworben ...

Ja, sach ma, warum reimt sich das?
War doch nur ein derber SpaรŸ!

Da kann ich doch jetzt auch nix fรผr,
Assoziationen รถffnen bei mir zum SpaรŸ die Tรผr.

#Ach je #Bรคnkelsรคnger, und eventuell #Bรผttenredner,

All das hรคtt' ich eventuell werden kรถnnen,
Wollte nicht, strickt euch eure eigenen Plรถnnen!

@ExpertPlus

Is this available on Linux? Running Gentoo currently so a flatpak or ebuild would be nice.

I'm a happy #LibreWolf user. I would dislike vertical tabs in Zen browser, can they be turned off, using horizontal tabs?
