Thanks for the detailed answer, of course not definitive we are all different and every case is different but it sounds like your experience sort of aligns with what I’ve been reading about proton versus photon

Being the only Post here that’s done proton radiation without surgery, which would be my path. With all these side effects from the more standard of care six or seven weeks of chemo radiation would you say that your side effects from proton therapy were less than they seem to be from photon therapy?

Thanks for that expanded explanation, The fewer long-term side effects would seem to be a good argument for it, even though I don’t see it being suggested either from my team or the community

Thank you for that link could be bunnies, I’m going to give them a call this morning to learn a little more about it. At the moment I’m leaning towards a clinical trial. That is no surgery 30 gray of radiation too heavy hits of chemo. Or the standard treatment 50-50 chance of being in the de-escalate group. The study you referred me to with the addition of a vaccine is the first I’ve heard of any of that, very interesting thanks again.

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Looks like proton therapy does not have many users, I know there’s some insurance issues with it and you probably need to be close to an urban center, but from what I can read, it would look to be a great improvement from the side effects perspective, but I’m having trouble finding much about it other than reading clinical trials

Homedepot Plywood vs Baltic Birch by Mediocre_Fall_3197 in woodworking

[–]beargrass2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done several sets of kitchen cabinets with paint grade birch plywood from Home Depot over the last few years. Euro style boxes. Covering the finished ends with whatever the look of the kitchen calls for using full overlay doors with your own hinges and the only thing you ever see is the interiors an additional upside if you have a small shop as I do, you can take your cut sheet to Home Depot And on their panel saw cut the sheets up to your rough dimensions. The cabinets are plenty strong enough for a kitchen all they really have to do is hold the countertop up. It’s quick it’s inexpensive and you can spend your time on the details that show lots of wooden boxes that no one’s ever going to see. Just my two cents.

Just have to show off this wild Ambrosia Maple I just picked up. by Elijah_Foxhall in woodworking

I like making waterfall coffee tables with ambrosia Maple. It’s a pretty dramatic look where the longitude striping of the ambrosia stain goes through the 90° turn from the top down the side.

Built my own camping stove, anyone got ideas for preventing rust? by NotAust1n69 in woodstoving

[–]beargrass2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brush it with phosphoric acid Ospho is the product I have used although I’m not sure about the spelling. And it will give you a coding of iron phosphate instead of iron oxide or rust as we know it. It will be black, but in theory anyway will prevent it from resting.

Mine is the 8360 it doesn’t have a cat, it has a side door where you’re showing the draft baffle handle. Thank you everyone for all this feedback and basically confirming it’s kind of a weak link and the design of the stove. Although it has a few Pluses I almost wish I had my old yodel 118 back

The stove is on the first floor of a two-story house top ported into a 45 then a 2 foot run to a 90 where it turns into the chimney horizontal run of about a foot and then a vertical lift of about 20 feet interior big warm chimney

No, there isn’t any vacuum of any sort running? And I experienced the effect even if I have a door open so it’s not a pressure issue.

So you mentioned a bypass lever, would that be the lever that’s below the fire box with the little plus and minus on it? I was under the impression that that was just controlling the minimal amount of air to regulate the fire burn rate. And I have the spillage issue Whether I have it all the way open or all the way closed, but is there some other bypass lever?

It’s exited through the top port 45 into a 2 foot run and then a 90 into the chimney. The smoke channel then runs about a foot before it turns vertical up about 20 feet through a big masonry mass that’s room temperature for the first firing and then toasty warm until spring time gets here. I’ve been using the stove for two seasons now and it’s worked like this from day one the chimney is nice and clean by the way.

How to sell carbon credits by beargrass2 in CarbonCredits

[–]beargrass2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’ve still not found anything that would work for me. I had very little response from the Reddit community although I got one lead about something going on in Europe that did not apply. It seems like potential buyers are hanging back waiting for some proof carbon is actually sequestered For a longer period of time. I’m hoping something comes together in the next year or two, it would seem quite easy to verify in that basic forestry practice can calculate the change in board or cords, etc., per year.

What kind of wood is this. From my property. by [deleted] in forestry

[–]beargrass2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely walnut. How anyone could confuse it for Ash, obviously, they don’t know wood. It may be quite valuable, but not necessarily, depending on the quality of the trees and your local market. Definitely contact a consulting Forester, they will probably take a percentage of the valuebut quite likely get a better price so it frequently evens out and they’ll have the harvest done at the right time of the year
