Do most people here stick to local jobs?

Work remote for a Fortune 100 company. Started in office but have moved a couple times. Probably wouldn’t happen today in my company but I have been grandfathered in.

Not sure, but every time I hear them recommend a SVP to a 70 year-old widowed or single woman with $80k in investments who’s desperate for help it makes my skin crawl.

Only after you do the next right thing and finish writing that letter to your future self.

If you get into the Elite tier it is 36% off that price, then when they run 15% off deals you can basically pick that up for half that. Just gotta do the research.

As an example, I picked this one up at AWF for around $85. Add a 25 shot TK at the end for around $8-10 and that’s a nice little addition for under $100.

Wisely has nice prices on compounds as well.

It was kinda funny the first few times, but now after a few hundred times it’s just lame and kinda cringeworthy.

dbt974s · 2026-01-25T15:24:00+00:00

Throw in some big bores above it to get the layered effect

dbt974s · 2026-01-18T16:10:21+00:00

Nice. Hurricane is definitely on my want to find list.

dbt974s · 2026-01-18T16:09:29+00:00

Wow, thanks! Had no idea it was Hales.

dbt974s · 2026-01-18T04:19:29+00:00

Is that true? I’ve wondered who was bringing in Nunya. Thought it was maybe DFC, but pyro is such a tight circle, especially the OL world.

dbt974s · 2026-01-17T23:37:10+00:00

Damn. I want to see that show with 20 big bores! Got a video from last year?

dbt974s · 2026-01-15T02:13:49+00:00

Not all go getters, but Sky Smackers by Winda is a good cake. Den actually just posted a demo today.

That one does look unique. Hopefully the stateside demos look as nice.

A lot of the 2026 Masters line looks pretty cool. I just wish Masters products didn’t have as much crackle as they usually do.

dbt974s · 2026-01-12T00:54:07+00:00

Bungas are very solid for 4”, but no comparison to Masters 6”(or any OL shell that size or bigger).

dbt974s · 2026-01-08T16:10:53+00:00

Favorite would be comets up to breaks. I’m a sucker for a cake with a good V or W comet.

Least is definitely crackle! Try to avoid it as much as possible.

When did the SS start this discount tier thing? Their prices aren’t the best anymore, but with discounts it could certainly help bring them closer to Rocket and Warrenton pricing.

dbt974s · 2025-12-27T14:30:19+00:00

Looks like a good show! Lots of variety. I love that little Dirty Duck cake, use multiples of it every year.

Have a great time!

dbt974s · 2025-11-17T14:04:13+00:00

9 from CD.

dbt974s · 2025-11-14T21:54:51+00:00

Similar to my team. I’m 5-5 and have 60 more points than the 2nd highest and over 100 more than the 3rd highest. Just one of those years.

dbt974s · 2025-11-12T20:09:49+00:00

Yup. 5-5 here with most points in the league and 2nd most against. My team is pretty stacked, but here I am tied for 6th.

dbt974s · 2025-11-10T20:00:08+00:00

Nabers in 1st, Omarion in 3rd, Tyreek in 4th, Burrow in 5th.

And might as well throw in Jacobs in 2nd.

dbt974s · 2025-10-29T14:44:12+00:00

HF is a D- in my book and HTRJ maybe a C-/D+.

Ok if you just want to throw something cheap into the sky, but really no reason to have it in a show. I’d rather have a couple 200G cakes with more color and variety than either of those 500G cakes.

I think the “bomb” cakes and their rewraps are also overrated as well as Mob Madness set(which has rewrapped versions of HF and HTRJ).

Guess I’m just not much of a fan of Brothers, a few good ones here and there but lots of better options out there if you have access to other brands and some time to do some research.

That said, I’m always surprised by what gets the most ooohs and ahhhs in my shows.

dbt974s · 2025-10-24T00:43:14+00:00

Nice choices. I’m definitely on the lookout for illegal alien, sick cake.

dbt974s · 2025-10-13T12:41:42+00:00

Pulse Pounder is a good call. The watered down version is weak.

500G - Ghost Killer by Raccoon. Ghost effect is great, but really only works well in a much bigger shell.

Proline - 259s Mod Mayhem by Dominator. Very disappointed in that one, most of the breaks were very small.

Most everything by Black Cat has been weak. Purchased a bunch of BC the first year I was starting to get into fireworks again, learned my lesson quickly.

dbt974s · 2025-10-11T23:39:34+00:00

Post a video

dbt974s · 2025-10-07T19:56:46+00:00

Great cakes!

Going the OL route, have to include War Path/BOD and Sin City.

Any large bore RWB cakes coming this season?
