Sadly the only way to know for sure is to test brain tissue, including in people, so there's no way to be certain without killing the potentially infected animal/person.

There are a bunch of tests they can do for people that can potentially identify rabies (lumbar puncture, CT and MRI scans, skin biopsy, antibody test) but apparently it can still be easily missed even with all of these tests so they aren't enough for an accurate diagnoses.

Unfortunately quarantine and observation isn't effective as a testing strategy for animals, the disease can progress at different rates and it's possible for infected animals to show no symptoms. As rabies can't be treated after symptoms start showing, they can't take the time to do this.

Do you know what's nuts? He's well respected within the industry as an editor - he's worked with many of the luminaries of science fiction and fantasy over the years as the editor for Wild Cards and other short story collections.

Oh those things are super cool, soviet era display technology had a great aesthetic. This YouTuber had some great videos on them

Looking at it, I think it might be an one of those old mono LCD displays? The video makes it look like it's a bunch of small individual ones rather than a large continuous display.

The industry is experiencing historic shrinkage post COVID due to unsustainable growth during COVID.

I'm surprised he'd want to come back - I'd heard really hurt his back filming the first movie and it happened again in the second one. Something about having to carrying both movies single handedly...
