My advice is to not rush. There will always be houses coming up. Think through how the house will function for what you need. Life gets very busy. If you get something that requires too much work you will spend all your free time doing Reno's. This can have a big impact on your life as you will lose precious rest and relaxation time.
If you want a family, buying is the way to go. Nothing worse than having a landlord kick you out when you have a young family.
Buy if it's the right time in life, not for an investment. But if you want to settle down buy if you can

Ancient cultures believed in a firmament which was a vast solid dome in the sky.
Such a great account

And Normies. I hate the term Normies. So arrogant and elitist.
Tried to zap you but cant
B. The island is small, probably not a permanent freshwater source. That means you would need to distil sea water. A spear for fishing would be handy.
I'm on Amethyst so didn't get the option of testing it. I also didn't notice any like buttons missing. I think I was able to like the posts of zap only accounts. I assume they didn't see them. Not sure if others could see them.
The issue I see with zaps is that a 1000 sat zap costs more to some than others. For someone on $2 a day, 1000 sats is a couple of hours work. For someone else, it's insignificant. For the reciecer of a pseudo anonymous zap, they appear the same. If we want nostr to break down barriers, we need to think about how to signal value appropriately.
What is the difference between the protocols? And why build a competing protocol?
Forgive my ignorance. Why isn't Bluesky a nostr client that only pulls from the Bluesky relay?
Iron is the ore used to make steel, it is not two ingredients, but two steps. The energy for this conversion comes from 170 t of coking coal.
At 11.5MJ/t to mine the iron ore, it takes 3450 MJ to mine the ore. Thats 0.5 hours of windmil generation.
Coal is probably similar.
The coking coal is produced from metallurgical coal. 1.5 to make 1 t of coke. Some energy is lost in the conversion. That would make the windmill an extra 33% more time to recover.
The issue of matching demand is more significant. The wind doesn't always blow when you need to power, but in terms of return on energy invested it's a pretty short payback
Running the numbers
170 t coking coal
At 27,000 MJ/t for coking coal, thats 4590,000 MJ per windmill.
Running at 2MW, or 2 MJ/s the windmill needs to run for 2,295,000 seconds to cover its energy. That is equivalent to 26.5 days.
At 20% utilisation, the windmill will have recovered its energy in 132 days.
