You can't get mad cow disease from eating the cow muscle, only cells in the nervous system.
But, they're talking about the central nervous system, brain spinal cord, There's also the Peripheral nervous system which are neurological tracks that are laid THROUGHOUT the body, even if the potential BSE prion concentration was smaller, it's NOT ZERO. At which point, it only comes down to Scale, and Infections are CERTAIN.
How did the cow GET infected, they ATE BSE Prions. Those prions traveled along the Autonomic nervous system up TOWARDS the BRAIN --> Mad cow.
Ok... ?
Buhhttt have you seen the slaughter house? You think they wipe and disinfect every knife and tool?
Most of the ones for big animals like cows use chainsaws, and the saw through the whole length of the cow.
How EXACTLY could you avoid nervous system cells in a place that's Dirty and manned by people who couldn't give a damn, and didn't even have the educational lvl/ capability to get a better job in the first place.
You're talking about the least educated, most careless workforce, / likely drug addicts.
90% of US cows were not even tested for Mad Cow during the big break-out, because they just decided, Hey that's too expensive.
It's probably endemic, and would explain some of what we're seeing, Mad-Hughmahnns.

I would be more than happy to have NK as the US vendor. They're a fantastic vendor for both customers and designers, and the main reason MTNU is still being run consistently today.
Strongly agree, GLWIC!

When I was married my wife would scold me for not wearing a shirt inside, saying "What if the neighbors saw you?"
Personally I don't look into other people's windows ....

Lmao. Coming from you, whose only purpose on this forum seems to be making cheap jokes and taking out your frustration on whoever happens to be around, I'll take that as a badge of honor.
I think I'll frame it and hang it on my wall.
What would be amazing is if GMK shared the MOQ across variants of basekits that work for the regions involved. Some regions are ISO vs ANSI. Some are 6.25u vs 7u. I would never use ISO in my case, but still pay for it, to get the base kit.
I’m more than happy to pay for extension kits, for more niche layouts like HHKB and Alice. Also okay with a numpad child kit. And accent kits.
I think that would be a better outcome for a customer perspective. Probably a nightmare for SKUs though lol.
Exactly. From a vendor's perspective, it's usually not worth splitting the Numpad from the Base Kit for GMK runs. It has been experimented with over the past few years on a handful of sets, and it worked better for some than for others depending on the colorway. The main issue is that if the Base Kit sells out, vendors are often left with dead stock of Numpad Kits, which usually translates into lost money.
Again, this isn't how I would normally kit a set. This was an experiment on my part because I firmly believe that most potential buyers and MTNU fans already have an MTNU WoB set lying around, and a large portion of those who don't simply aren't interested in a numpad.
It would be great to have accurate statistics, but based on my understanding and conversations with vendors, 6.25u bottom rows are used far more than people think, and a significant portion of European buyers have transitioned to ANSI (myself included). Of course, it's still important to offer ISO support and an International Kit for that niche of buyers.
