/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

These are the required elements for making steel:
- Iron
- Carbon
- Manganese
- Chromium
- Phosphorus
- Sulphur
- Nickel
- Molybdenum
- Titanium
- Copper
- Boron

So, iron is only step 1. Humans are carbon based lifeforms, so I'm guessing that carbon is also sorted, that's step 2.
There's plenty of other elements in the human body, like phosphorus and sulphur, but I'm guessing that it's going to take more than 300 adults.

And I'm guessing Gowron has killed a lot more than 300 adults. On an average Tuesday.
Mind you, those might not all be human..
So, add some Romulan blood for that sweet copper.
The pink-blooded Klingons are extra irony.
That or it's Pepto-Bismol. Who knows?
It's a Tums festival!
Yeah, the original "300" was flawed. Not solely because of the percentages, but because of the amount of iron itself you can get out of blood being over estimated by a factor of about 10. Somebody actually did an experiment to find out how much iron you can get from blood, there used to be a video on YouTube of it, and the amounts were way less than the original 300 estimate.
Or just get Mystique to inject some more into that one security guard
I absolutely loved that scene when magneto escapes...
Only farm fresh human blood swords for me and mine.
Hey so what happens to unused blood bank blood? Like the red blood cell stuff not the other stuff
I heard it has a life of about a month or so, so I assume it either goes to further research or it's destroyed
If yiu could process blood otherwise intended for destruction, at the scales at which blood is donated in the us, I'd have thought it would be reasonably doable

Incinerated or used for medical/scientific experiments, but it seems that's a small percentage of the blood since they are doing their best to JIT the production chain.
