Well, yeah. That’s not really in the same category or ever really disputed

No, that’s my evidence that it wasn’t ubiquitous and typical.
Maybe not just your social circle, but social-circle-specific.
No, this was just your social circle. I know literally zero people who ever bought into any of that crap
From England straight to Louisiana is quite a leap
Which wouldn’t have the potential if the larger sun didn’t form first to create the gravity to allow the rest to form.
This is simply incorrect. The gravitational potential of the body would be there regardless of what else is going on around it. And either way, the OP’s question was not about some hypothetical where the sun doesn’t exist, it’s about where energy came from in the real world.
Star != Sun is just pointlessly pedantic. You’re not trying to learn anything, just be a smartass.
? The OP’s question was literally “is there energy on earth that didn’t come from the sun.” I am not the one being pedantic here.
Nuclear materials were formed in supernovas. They wouldn’t exist in the first place without a star.
Well, yeah, sure. But that star is not the Sun.
Earth wouldn’t have coalesced without the sun in the middle. Otherwise we’d still be a gas blob.
I mean, sure? It wouldn’t be a gas blob, but it would be a very different system. But that still has nothing to do with it – even if the gravity of the sun influences how the earth coalesces, it’s still not where the thermal energy of the core came from. That came from the potential of the dust itself.
The heat in the Earth’s mantle and core comes from the gravitational potential energy of the original stellar dust clouds the Earth originally accreted from. So, geothermal energy mostly isn’t. And there’s also evidence that a few natural uranium deposits have undergone natural nuclear fission chain reactions. That one’s a pretty negligible amount, though. Other than that, no, it all traces back to the sun.
Yes, your aunt has (probably) signed up for what’s essentially a scam. This is their whole business model, they know timeshares sound better than they end up being, so they intentionally trick people into signing contracts that are very difficult to get out of, so they can’t just dump it the moment they realize they don’t want it anymore.
Yes, of course. That’s what keeps them bound together.
That’s… An extremely bizarre take on what happened, and on whether selling would be a good idea. The stock market almost never has anything to do with electoral politics, and electoral politics almost never have anything to do with what your market position should be.
In some sense, the asymmetry of information (entropy) is a defining feature of the universe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_of_time
Not sure where you’d get that idea…
Black population is not that far off from Hispanic (18 vs 12%) and white is barely a majority.
Canada is much more dominantly white (70% vs 56%) with lower representation of every other group compared to US. Everywhere in Europe is much higher than that (80+%).
Of course all this is based on coarse Western racial categories, if you look at individual ethnicities then it’s gotta be India or somewhere in Africa.
Are you under the impression that they don’t?
