pet peeve: suitcases in movies that are obviously empty. come on, anyone who's ever carried a suitcase in their life can tell! i understand it'd be no fun to do countless takes of a scene with a heavy suitcase, but either learn to fake better or put something in the case to look more convincing.

american dog owners, would you let your pet dog be friends with a wild fox? would you have any concerns about rabies? (we don't have rabies where i live so i'm unfamiliar with rabies precautions) would you think oh how cute, or really bad idea requiring intervention, or eh no big deal?

Tre til seks måneder etter covid-bølger ser vi en økning i fastlegekonsultasjoner for hukommelsesforstyrrelser. Det gir grunn til bekymring for at senfølger av covid-19 spiller en vesentlig rolle. Det bør reise spørsmål om hvorvidt dagens koronastrategi er bærekraftig. www.nrk.no/buskerud/eks...
