Why would Zelenskyy even contemplate a deal with the US with the current fascist administration?

Because the only way to hold a capitalists attention is with money.

obviously he knows they are liars and cheats and won't uphold any part of the agreement they don't want to.

Minerals take time to dig up, during those decades attacks on Ukraine would cut into the profits of American oligarchs.

surely he wouldn't tie up his national minerals for generations so they can get the old US stockpiles of weapons?

Considering the GOPs ties to Russia, there is some fear that the USA could switch sides entirely and help Russia.

[...]

I understand the issue of shutting down starlink would currently severely impact Ukraine, but I can also see how starlink won't be necessary in the near future as drones switch to AI and fibre, and a bunch of tech we don't know about yet.

It's only used in some large (manly naval) drones, as it is big and heavy. I think starlink is more important for communication between units and command.

so what's the deal with the 'deal'? surely it's not being entertained seriously?

It's trying to buy peace and sovereignty in a world the America only values money.

or is it all bluster for Trump to feel he's achieving something whilst the real power brokers get EU assistance?

While the new german government might be more likely to send missiles, I don't see any large changes in the near future. Unless countries can be convinced to give Ukraine unlimited acces to their own military's modern equipment or commit their own soldiers.

Ok, maybe salaries are lower because whole Greenland is in the middle of nowhere, [...]

Having visited Iceland, the cost of living is higher on islands with limited agriculture and high cost of imports.

Apart from the obvious lack of portability, compilers write better assembly than most humans.

Maybe to build one of those shitty websites where you can't select text because every letter is in its own element.

you could set up each successive cluster to detonate as the blast wave from the initial explosion reaches them, thus removing the synching issue

only for listeners in one straight line

Because of the speed of sound, that only works if you only hit one place. Otherwise it would only be in sync at one place in the target area.

Also 124 bombs per minute can get expensive quickly, as they need to be separately fired precision amutions and not just dumb shells.

I'm wondering if there's a way [to] combine their computational power.

Only if your problem can be be split up reasonably, otherwise you will spend more time waiting for data to move.
Where it can work: video encoding, CI pipelines, data analysis
Where it won't work: interactive stuff, most single file operations

I want to get into server hosting [...]

Then you don't need another reason to do it.

[If] I can connect them all to one display [or] make them all accessible in one place.

You can either get a hardware switch or chose a primary computer and connect to the others. For that you can use remote desktop software or be a try hard and use ssh.

Because the rocket equation is brutal.
A rocket is almost entirely fuel some structure and a minuscule amount of payload. If you want to save fuel for for relanding you need to take less payload or accept a lower orbit.

If we look at Falcon 9, the payload to geostationary transfer orbit^* goes from 8,300 kg when expended, to 5,500 kg when landing on a barge or 3,500 kg when landing on the launch site.

* meaning the payload needs an additional stage to enter geostationary orbit
