Yes, as in right now, if you care to say. Apart from reading HN obviously.

(Where I live it’s a common thing to ask of friends or family or lovers, and I find it quite charming, so I thought I’d ask it of the HN community.)

Me? I’m trying to poke holes in my latest crazy business idea. And wondering how you can make ice cream of a specific density. And feeling a little embarrassed that I forgot you have to actually write the Ask HN in your Ask HN.

I am currently creating a financial plan for an imaginary startup. This is the task in one of my university modules.

I've spent the last few days building copypastemathjax.com after finding myself searching google too many times for mathjax expressions.

Having a cup of Darjeeling tea. About to brave icy pavements to walk into the local town. Am at an age when falls are serious.

Coughing and blowing my nose.

Got the 'rona this weekend, and while I'm a lot better (as in no longer sleeping 22 hours a day), I'm still pretty messed up.

I apologize for being such a downer, but I'm dealing with the fact that my mom died last week. With my brother, other family members, and friends, we're figuring out what to do next.

EDIT: She had some end of life arrangements in place (like a will) to make things easier. She had cancer, so this wasn't unexpected, but it doesn't make the feelings any less chaotic.

I'm intrigued about ice cream of a specific density. What do you have in mind with that?

Some DevOps stuffs, from debian to alpine base image migration (old stuff, not very exciting)
