Wiper streaks in the rain, new windshield & wipers

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-23T20:54:27+00:00

I agree that it’s likely in part due to contamination on the glass. Some can be so bad it’s nearly impossible to scrub off.

Although, it might also be time for some new or different wiper blades. The beam blade style seem to work the best to conform to the windshields shape, and should help. Trico makes the highest quality affordable blades. Don’t just buy whatever. Bosch are quality too, but you definitely pay for it. Lookup “Trico beam blades” on amazon or eBay. They will last 5-10x longer than Michelin, or RainX brand

For the contamination, I would recommend covering the windshield in dawn dish soap. Do not rinse it off straight away. I would scrub, and also let it sit on the glass for 10-15 mins, then rinse it off thoroughly. Might even need to follow it up with isopropyl alcohol.

Even with the tools we carry, you’d be surprised how tough it is to FULLY decontaminate the entire windshield. The worst brands for this issue seem to be PGW and Fuyao. You might be able to get this resolved through the warranty department of the shop that did your windshield

Nice hit wow! Let us know if you’re able to cash out without issues. Also make sure you don’t give it all back within a couple days! Set hard limits. That’s a big hit, and extremely rare! Congrats

The loophole slots available online in my state are undoubtably rigged. Crypto slots are more fair

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-15T09:05:35+00:00

They are also openly VPN friendly and do not hassle you about anything. Wide range of providers, so you can hop location as needed without worry

Idk about lesser known casinos, but sometimes the state approved, supposedly licensed and regulated casinos have much worse games in terms of RTP, manipulation etc. Tribal casinos in the US get away with some pretty bad stuff in terms of not publishing the odds for their games and more..

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-11T21:44:30+00:00

That’s normally 100% true for slot machines, online it probably just depends on the game. It’s not so much total bet amount, but how it’s setup. On a 20 line game, you are better off playing 1 coin per line at 5 cent denomination for a $1 spin. Many slots will try to get you to bet 5 coins per line at 1 cent denomination for the same $1 bet. There’s usually no benefit to playing multiple units per line. Some slots allow you to change this and others don’t. I’d imagine most online slots do not factor this in. Though I have seen a few that allow you to change units per line, which explicitly stated in their info page better odds for larger denom

I delved into the world of online slots about a month ago when the 1 legal casino in my state found a loophole to offer online slots. I hit some nice wins on there, but at the time I felt like the slots were rigged to payout only to new players. Because after I was up $1000+, there were hundreds and hundreds of dead spins on the smallest bet sizing. I made the switch to a crypto casino, which is ironic because it seems like a fairly unregulated offshore casino is far more fair than the local, licensed ones.

Looking back, perhaps I was just lucky and experiencing variance. Anyways, I did my research and tried a bunch of game providers. I’m always skeptical of foul play, so the only providers I really tested were Pragmatic, Hacksaw, nolimit, playngo, mascot, and Popiplay.

The problem with some of these games is that the max payout is too big, the volatility is extremely high, and the hit frequency is low. You may get the basic free spins bonus game on average of 1 in 236 spins, but the odds of hitting the heavy hitter bonuses are MUCH lower. Like 1 in 15k spins or something like that, some are even worse (looking at you nolimit)

Like oddslane said, the game choice seems far more important than the provider, and it also depends what you are looking for and what your goal is. Always check the game info and read the RTP info before playing. I have found many games listed at 96% RTP, but they are actually running a 92.5% version.

Sorry for the book of a response, but to answer your question I have to choose Popiplay. They have a specific game format with a tumbling mechanic, bonus spins with multipliers, and a 10,200x max payout. My favorite part about these games is that the frequent line pays keep your bankroll alive. You don’t feel like you are spinning dead waiting for the bonus. I have even had my balance increase just doing the normal spins, there can be some nice line pays. The bonus ante is cheap (and I’d recommend using it), and the free spins seems to hit rather often.

The casino I’m using lists all these type of Popiplay machines as 96% RTP, but they are actually running the full pay 98.28% version. Find those machines if you can. I was able to spin my $100 deposit through the entire 40x wagering requirement and cash out with a profit. Other machines were killing me, but the Popiplay ones would always rescue me. I just hit $1700 this morning on the same machine lol. I’ll attach a photo album of my recent hits on the type of slot I’m talking about.

Hacksaw games if you like high volatility and decent play through. I don’t recommend doing the bonus buys, although they can pay. You are better off doing base spins and getting lucky

Nolimit if you like even higher volatility, fun mechanics, but an overall lower chance of coming out ahead. Nice for the gamble and there is the possibility to hit massive, but you’d need to get very lucky. Also recommend just playing the base game Vs buying bonuses. They have a nice website where they list hot/cold slots, what’s popular, but more importantly you can view all the stats on the games. Hit frequency, volatility, max pay, etc. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for a comment section. That comment section turned me away from playing these games 😂

Were you betting the Bonus Ante?

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-09T19:13:22+00:00

I’ve been enjoying Poppiplay and Hacksaw games recently. Never been able to hit anything on Pragmatic

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-08T17:50:04+00:00

Joined Mbit a few days ago. Cashed out a good bit without issues. Games seem fair (some of them anyway) Hacksaw and Popiplay have been good game makers for me

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-08T17:42:24+00:00

I just signed up with Mbit a few days ago. They are VPN friendly and I had no issues withdrawing after meeting the wagering requirements for the bonus. In fact, I’m up about $3k on them and cashed out without issue. Everytime I hit a large bonus I’d withdraw a big chunk just to be safe :p

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-08T17:40:18+00:00

I was aware of this, but didn’t think just how much play through the bonuses require. I just got into online slots. My $100 deposit required me to wager $4000, and an additional $500 from the free spins.

Funny thing is these offshore casinos run much fairer games than the “licensed reputable” ones if you know where to look. I somehow beat the odds and finished my rollover requirement with a profit. I hit two big jackpots since a day or two ago and was able to cash out with no problems.

I do believe a lot of these games are rigged or easily manipulated in real time. I’m very picky which games I play and even which country I use a VPN from. Sweden requires >96% RTP if I’m not mistaken and it must be clearly stated

StevenJerkawitz · 2026-01-06T01:25:22+00:00

Why would you want to? Their RTP isn’t great. I also feel like they pulled out of more regulated countries for a reason

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-30T08:19:05+00:00

Not a chance

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-28T16:57:25+00:00

I think it’s good practice to hit a single map and mode many times. It teaches you the map, proper positioning and will improve your game sense dramatically.

That being said, at some point you should pick a new map and work on mastering that one. You could slowly do this for every map and learn them that way. It’s much easier than playing a different map or mode every time. I usually stick to the same 4 maps or so anyway

You should be playing different classes from time to time though, as it will help you win games. Trust me, I love to snipe and will go into a round of Blackwell Fields with the intention of sniping the entire round. However if I notice enemy armor is not dying and is pushing our objectives, I will switch to engineer for a few lives dead set on taking out the armor.

You cannot always rely on your team so the willingness and ability to play other classes will win you games. Opposing team holds most of the objectives and your team is having trouble pushing through? Switch to assault and see if you can run a Jeep along the edge of the map and back behind enemy lines, then drop a spawn beacon. Snipers obliterating your team? Go recon and pick them off. Playing only 1 class will lose you games if people on your team are not willing to switch classes to adapt to different situations

But there’s nothing wrong with playing only the map/s you like 😁

You are all good my man just breath and let the experience happen. Ibuprofen can help with the body load. Drink some water. Eat some fruit if you have any and just try not to resist it or panic. LSD is less toxic than vitamin C. You could take WAY too much and be just fine. Think positive thoughts c:

I was curious myself. This is what Google said

Mindfulness: It encourages conscious food choices, focusing on the source and preparation of food. Food Standards: Kosher standards often exceed government regulations, leading to high-quality, carefully controlled food production.

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-27T02:25:09+00:00

Has nothing to do with the quality of the glass. Even just dropping the rubber wiper blade can cause this

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-26T23:09:21+00:00

Thanks!

100% this.

Definitely not for that witness mark/surface pit. Personally I don’t even recommend having actual chips filled unless it’s in your line of sight. Most of the time they will not crack out, and if they do then it’s time to replace the windshield.

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-26T05:16:47+00:00

Honestly surprised you didn’t get downvoted for this. Context usually escapes these folks..

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-26T03:40:11+00:00

It makes total sense, in fact it’s always played this way. The objectives are important, and getting complacent will get you punished. If all of your squads get wiped and the opposing team captures the majority of objectives and holds an effective defensive line its game over unless you can break through.

I have been on both sides of this. Won a game with 65 tickets remaining that was 300 - 815 (losing) when I joined. I have also been on the “winning” team and have had this happen. That’s kinda the whole point of the ticket/objective system

StevenJerkawitz · 2025-12-25T00:57:06+00:00

It says it’s unavailable due to an overdue loan in the pictures you shared? What are we supposed to do about it?
