True, it's not the ship which will be caught by Mechazilla on this flight. Maybe they both get a decal to commemorate the flight as a whole? Where is B12 at the moment?

while SpaceX has been doing it, approximately 300 times
We're discussing upper stages here, not first stages. SpaceX have recovered 339 (soon to be 340 in a few hours) first stages, not orbital upper stages.
SpaceX still haven't technically recovered any orbital upper stages yet, though Starship IFT-4 came very close. They successfully brought the ship back from orbital velocity but a suborbital trajectory.
Blue Origin still have yet to launch anything into orbit.
Can we make flexible, ductile, high-temperature super conductors now? Or have we settled for packing a flexible tube full of powder, Pixy Stix style?
Ha, yeah, you're right. Looks to be a stock image of a tokomak render. The original report by Interesting Engineering has a photo of the actual device:
As for the mods accessing the dashboard to configure the bot, I don’t know yet. Any suggestions?
Suggestions for how the mods could securely access and configure the dashboard?
I feel like a "login" could be done similar to how @grant@toast.ooo configured the login for !canvas@toast.ooo. The automod bot could DM the mod account and provide an access code.
The dashboard itself could be as simple as an editable text file for each community, containing if-then and regex rules, or you could go for a fancier GUI if you are feeling ambitious.
Oh, is it gone now? Looks like OP deleted it for some reason, not the mods. If you're curious, they said "Oh-REG-a-no".
This is the correct answer.
The Wisconsin HTS Axisymmetric Mirror research team was able to create and hold a plasma using a magnetic field strength of 17 Tesla through high-temperature superconductor magnets, as Interesting Engineering reported.
The magnet systems were delivered to the University of Wisconsin's Physical Sciences Laboratory in Stoughton, Wisconsin, this year by Commonwealth Fusion Systems. The project operates as a public-private partnership with Realta Fusion, Inc., a UW-Madison spin-off company that contributes funding, according to the lab.
"It's setting a world record in magnetic field strength for magnetically confined plasmas and is equipped with intense heating systems while still being a hands-on experiment for both graduate and undergraduate students," Realta Fusion co-founder and UW-Madison scientist Jay Anderson said, per Interesting Engineering.
The design is based on an old fusion device called the magnetic mirror, which was a leading approach in the field until the 1980s, as the news outlet explained. This time, it's been upgraded with the powerful HTS magnets, which trap energetic plasma in a "magnetic bottle" through advances in superconductor technology.
Glad to see fusion power slowly inching towards viability. Modern superconductors seem like they have a potential to accelerate progress in this field.
Taxing the rich! What a novel idea :)
Scandinavia generally has their sh*t together.
This community is perfect for you then.

Mere days after photos of a 35x35 surfaced, Preston Alden has unveiled a 49x49:
It weighs 30 kg, stands 34 cm tall, and consists of 13,827 pieces. Every piece of the cube was 3D printed using PETG plastic (aside from the bolts and springs).
Congratulations to Preston on such an incredible achievement. I've never seen olzing on such a large puzzle!
