Totally! And one of the few English language films I’ve seen that retains the humour perfectly dubbed in German. In fact the bomb is possibly even funnier in German :) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XetTVNtzTW8

While travelling around China and speaking none of the local languages I resorted to either pointing at other peoples food or picking random items on the menu. I had learned how to ask for rice and beer so that worked well with what was usu

I know plenty of apple ecosystem centric people who used an apple mouse and hated that design. So much so they gave up and got another one eventually. It’s clearly a bad design because there is an obvious alternative with no downsides. A be
