In terms of question-solving, this has been the most unproductive week yet by a long shot.

Yep, I'm doing it. Forgive my attempt at aesthetics (but if you like it, then don't).

I've been a bit less productive than usual this week, mostly because I've been spending far too much time on Discord — should really cut down on that — and also staying up late, which has a terrible impact on my daily activity level.
