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.

They're still making videos on YouTube at least once a year too! One of the two brother chaps who created it went on to work on the animated show Gravity Falls too.

It's from the D20 Star Wars RPG, they weren't the most accurate to the cannon even at the time. An interesting historical point is that the earlier West End Games star wars RPG fleshed out a lot of the expanded universe that we know and love and were used as reference material for the expanded universe novels.

Good old d20 Star Wars, I have great memories of this rpg. I loved the maps that d20 modern/future era Wizards of the Coast made.

It's a batshit movie. The first time I watched it the subtitles desynced and slowly got more and more out out of sync as the film went on. We only realised about half way through - somehow it didn't make the film less understandable.

Yep, you'll never get it perfect, but a smaller layer height will make the steps less noticeable. Adaptive layer height in cura if you use that can help, but adds a mortal age to the length of the print.
