solving a customer issue at 1:45am is the key to keeping them for life

handles all the best parts like world building, humour, crew dynamics exceptionally well (sometimes better than the manga), made me actually cry multiple times, made me laugh, kept me super invested, kept me wanting more, and that's why it's the best LA adaptation

OPLA season 2 is corny, has terrible acting, lots of cheesy lines, bunch of bad cgi, very cheap looking props, has cheap fan service moments, it's very sincere, a clear love letter to the original story, understands why people love one piece, true to the characters,

A partial lunar eclipse with a dark, curved shadow covering the top half of the moon, leaving a bright white crescent below.

A total lunar eclipse, or "Blood Moon," glowing orange-red against a solid black sky.

photos I managed to capture of the lunar eclipse this morning!

had some trouble focusing the camera during totality, but still such a cool thing to experience for the first time!

i feel very accomplished when i pick option 3 and give my reasoning

Claude Code:
Which option would you like to go with?
1. [HIGHLY RECOMMENDED]
2. [BAD. DO NOT CHOOSE]
3. [AWFUL, EW]

me: *munching on chips* uhh 1 i guess? idk tho

cc: Excellent choice, sire. You are as resplendent as you are wise. I will proceed with the implementation forthwith.
