Today's Supersized Saturday puzzle is an Akari! It also comes with a GAPP 101 in case you can't find where to start. Enjoy!

Rules: Place a light in some empty cells. Lights illuminate cells in their row and column until reaching a shaded cell or the grid border. No two lights can illuminate each other. All empty cells must be illuminated. A numbered clue indicates how many lights are in the cells edge-adjacent to the one containing the clue.

GAPP 101: A common principle in logic puzzle solving is the "commonality." A commonality is a deduction where regardless of what you choose, at least one thing must be true in all cases. A two-case commonality starts this puzzle!
