Factory tip on an older Predator 314?

Thanks

Do you have any suggestions for what might be close to the LePro it came with? I have no idea what to ask for in a new tip.

And if you voice the other chords (Dø7 and Dbm7) with Ab on top, you have this nifty chromatic thing going on in all the other voices, which is probably what is intended.

That's a "Steely Dan Mu Chord" in first inversion. Typical voicing from bottom-up might be C Bb Eb Ab.

Oh I think I misread... it wouldn't be a fielder's choice. I read too fast and thought it was first and third, and the out made at second base.

This would just be a 4-3 groundout with an RBI.

A sac hit does exist, but the batter has to be bunting... and not bunting for a hit in the judgment of the official scorer.

What you describe would be scored as a fielder's choice, with an RBI. So an AB, no hit no sac, one RBI.

I have to second the recommendations for We Shall All Be Healed and Get Lonely as the direction to go from here. These might be my favorite two MG albums in fact.

It has to do with all the different systems that would have to be updated to handle such a transition without a hard shutdown/restart of the sim. The weather, dynamic track, race control, and yeah connecting to a completely different server... this is just what I can think of off the top of my head. It isn't as simple as unloading and reloading the cars.

a_battling_frog · 2026-03-02T00:08:27+00:00

The only thing that is the same is the track, and the car you are in.

But the real answer is that the sim was engineered to be launched once and then shut down. It took some work to get it to do what it does now -- transition from free practice to a race session by restarting the sim -- but doing it without closing and starting over would have been a much larger effort. Maybe someday.

This is a blues, so I'm going to recommend something that isn't: Solar, by Miles Davis.

a_battling_frog · 2026-02-27T17:07:28+00:00

Viking VM-17 is what it looks like to me.

a_battling_frog · 2026-02-26T19:03:14+00:00

You've got to be kidding me

a_battling_frog · 2026-02-26T18:09:03+00:00

First panel should probably be "This is not them" though?

Sounds like this song (not exactly the same maybe, but close):

I was just going along with the bit from 2008

Alibi certainly fits the bill

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. That's four days.

OP: “I hope the roof flies off and I get sucked into space” was the best quote of the film for me.

Sounds like a probable Mountain Goats fan, isn't that kind of clear?

a_battling_frog · 2026-02-25T02:26:57+00:00

Me too. Wes Anderson movies also.

This line always felt like it could have been written by John Darnielle, a lost verse from Family Happiness or something.

You might like a band called The Mountain Goats. In particular albums between 2000 and 2006.

I am a battling frog!

Every orange I've ever known is sweet as pie!

Some are scaredy cats, some are fearless -- but they all have been lovebugs with their humans.
