May as well play now, while I have the chance...Especially since I lost my 30-day streak yesterday. I was in the process of solving it, when it became midnight. It let me finish, but today I started anew.

with 208 to follow.
The moon is waxing. Morning stars are Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Venus. Evening stars are Jupiter and Mars.
On this date in history:
In 1844, the Young Men's Christian Association -- YMCA -- was founded in London.
In 1872, feminist Susan B. Anthony was fined for voting in an election in Rochester, N.Y. She refused to pay the fine and a judge allowed her to go free.
In 1933, the first drive-in movie theater opened -- in Camden, N.J.
In 1944, hundreds of thousands of Allied troops began crossing the English Channel in the D-Day invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. It was the largest invasion in history.
In 1966, James Meredith, who in 1962 became the first Black American to attend the University of Mississippi, was shot by a sniper during a civil rights "March Against Fear" walk in the South. Meredith was hospitalized and recovered from his wounds, later rejoining the long march, which he had originated.
In 1968, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, Democratic presidential candidate and former U.S. attorney general, died the day after he was struck by an assassin's bullets in California. He was 42.
In 1972, a coal mine explosion in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe), trapped 464 miners underground. More than 425 people died.
In 1981, a train conductor braked too hard to avoid hitting a cow, causing several cars in his train to slip off the tracks in rainy weather. The cars slid off a bridge into a swollen river, drowning an estimated 600 people in India.
In 1982, thousands of Israeli forces pushed deep into Lebanon in an effort to defeat Palestinian guerrillas sheltering in the southern border region and near the capital of Beirut. Syria said its forces joined the fighting in a major escalation of the conflict.
In 1993, the Guatemalan legislature elected Ramiro de Leon Carpio as president to replace ousted leader Jorge Serrano.
In 2009, a fire that inspectors said began in a tire store next door destroyed a childcare center in Hermosillo, Mexico, killing 35 children ages 1-5 and injuring about 100 others.
In 2001, a man drove his pickup truck into a Muslim family of Pakistani heritage, killing four and injuring one in London, Ontario, Canada. The driver was charged with terroristic murder and accused of targeting the family because of their religion.
In 2023, Prince Harry became the first member of the British royal family to give testimony during a court proceeding since 1891. He sued Mirror Group Newspapers, accusing them of illegally hacking. In February 2024, Prince Harry won a "substantial" settlement in the case.

1 - “This work doesn’t meet the level of quality we expect. Let’s revisit the requirements and make a plan to improve it.”
2 - “The tone and approach you're using aren’t aligned with how we handle things here. I’d appreciate it if we could keep things more focused and constructive.”
3 - “I’m not seeing the rationale or data to support this approach. Can you walk me through how you arrived at this, or are there other options we should consider?”
4 - “I’m having a hard time taking this seriously—help me understand the intent behind it.”
5 - “We need to have a serious conversation about how your actions are affecting the team’s perception of your professionalism.”
If this is how Skynet starts, maybe it won't be so bad.
