I wonder if that's where this character got his name from. He's from around the same time period

Neat! I can understand some of that, and I'd like to understand the rest. Is there a guide or explainer?

Community guidelines (midwest.social)
 

We don't currently have any community guidelines in the sidebar. We should probably have some. Do people have opinions on what sort of guidelines we should aim for? I'm a fan of the HN guidelines (whatever you may think of the site at large):

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Here's the first few that are most relevant:

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer, including at the rest of the community.

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Has anyone gone here? I tried going once, but it was unexpectedly closed because it's just some dude. Lots of cool stuff sitting outside, though.

Is there a good report card on how well Biden stuck to his promises for his term? Something neutral-ish and/or nuanced? There's this, but it's hard to know how much is just the administration pumping itself up. It's also kind of vague:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/therecord/

There's articles like this that talk about only 7 EV stations being built out of $7.5B spent, but from what I understand that's because the money was spent on setting up standards so that we'd get stations that actually worked and could self-report if they were broken, as opposed to a bunch of crap, and things should move much more quickly now.

Is there a good tl;dr on what is new and interesting about flux? Does it use a different architecture, or is it just bigger?

Something very similar actually happened:

A janitor unplugged something because the alarm was annoying, and it destroyed decades of scientific work
