"US armed forces’ seizure of the oil tanker constituted an unlawful use of force in violation of the UN Charter. This is the largest military buildup of US firepower in the Caribbean in decades. **If regime change succeeds in Venezuela, Cuba may be next**"

Ukraine has a coastline of ~1,729 miles (~2,782km), and a very small navy. Russia blockaded them and end up with a bunch of their ships becoming coral reefs, and largely withdrawing from the Black Sea.
Venezuela has a coastline of 1,700 miles (~2,800km), and a very small navy. The US is gonna blockade them and…

Trump orders blockade of oil tankers into Venezuela
President Donald Trump says he is ordering a blockade of all “sanctioned oil tankers” into Venezuela, ramping up pressure on the country’s authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro. The moves comes after U.S. forces last week seized an oil tanker off Venezuela’s coast, an unusual move that followed a buildup of military forces in the region. In a post on social media Tuesday night announcing the blockade, Trump alleged Venezuela was using oil to fund drug trafficking and other crimes. The bu…

On definability of C*-tensor norms
We initiate the study of definability (in the model-theoretic sense) of C*-tensor norms. We show that neither the minimal nor maximal tensor norms are definable uniformly over all C*-algebras. The proof in the case of the minimal tensor product norm uses a deep theorem of Kirchberg characterizing exactness in terms of tensor products with matrix ultraproducts while the case of maximal tensor products uses Pisier's recent characterization of the lifting property in terms of maximal tensor produc…

Towards universal property prediction in Cartesian space: TACE is all you need
Machine learning has revolutionized atomistic simulations and materials science, yet current approaches often depend on spherical-harmonic representations. Here we introduce the Tensor Atomic Cluster Expansion and Tensor Moment Potential, the first unified framework formulated entirely in Cartesian space for the systematic prediction of arbitrary structure-determined tensorial properties. TACE achieves this by decomposing atomic environments into a complete hierarchy of (irreducible) Cartesian …

Teenager has just suggested some of the programs, which I was under the impression were via the browser, may need to be on desktop.
This might mean Wine I guess?
And probably some kind of microsoft office install? I was hoping to get away with libreoffice..
Anybody have any experience with wine?
I will in any case have to contact the IT support at the school I think. I hope I am not the only parent doing so with the #EndOf10 .
Meanwhile, over on the laptop, the Linux Mint is installed (in danish even) and seems to be restarting without the USB
holding breath here...
