Random question for the WoW expert... if I were to make a sona, what would you "kin assign" me class & being wise?

HMMMMM...

You strike me as a void elf. Maybe a warlock or shadow priest as a class. Or a death knight perhaps.

When your anxiety convinces you that it’s been so long something must have gone wrong but you can’t check if something’s gone wrong cause if it has then the people who could tell you something’s gone wrong would need space 😩😭💔

Boosting Bone Repair

Many broken bones can be mended with a cast, or pins, and with plenty of time and care. But, occasionally breaks can be so severe that help is needed in the form of a bone graft – either from the patient’s own bone (autograft), or from small pieces of cadaver bone (allograft). Neither is ideal, however, with autografts requiring the patient to undergo additional surgery, and cadaver material tending to be less potent than fresh bone. Scientists may soon have a third option, however, thanks to mesenchymal stem cells – a sort of stem cell found in bone. These cells, which can be grown almost indefinitely in culture, produce an extracellular matrix material (pictured) that acts as a scaffold for new bone. The matrix is rich in factors that promote growth of bone and blood vessels – necessary for bone survival – and was shown to boost bone repair significantly in animals.

EVERYTHINGS COMING UP HORSE!

Aloe Vera, jasmine, papyrus!

aloe vera ⇢ what’s something (mundane) you really want to experience in life?

(Immediately turns into an ascetic monk who has never desired anything at all)

I want to take a road trip across the US or Canada. I've never even seen the Pacific Ocean or been to the west coast at all. Or I think it would be fun to just plan like, a week of driving with no particular destination just to see where we end up.

jasmine ⇢ do you have a movie or book you loved but will never watch/read again?

I cant really think of any? Most things I like I am more than happy to engage with it multiple times.

papyrus ⇢ if you put your ‘on repeat’ playlist on shuffle, what’s the first song that comes up? what do you like about it / associate it with?

I've been obsessed with this song for awhile and in a way it kinda reminds me of Uinen. When I first listened to it I wasn't sure if I liked it, but in my experience those songs that take a few listens to get accustomed to are the most impactful.

The artist said "While writing lyrics, I was imagining a story of a girl traveling around world without home or friends or family, who was totally alone. It was like a journey through a dream, so I named it ‘Dream ended this way’ when I finished it."

I like the story behind it, and like I said it kinda reminds me of Uinen/myself a little. I really like how it's ethereal and dreamlike yet somewhat unnerving.

Cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy: is there a rationale for an initial artificial bone-substitute implant? J Neurosurg 124:710–715, 2016 The complication rate for cranioplasty after decompressive craniectomy is higher than that after other neurosurgical procedures; aseptic bone resorption is the major long-term problem.

Great article by Sohn describing different types
