All the areas where Catalan is spoken as a mothertongue:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andorra

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balearic_Islands

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyr%C3%A9n%C3%A9es-Orientales

All of them share the coat of arms of the crown of Aragon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Crown_of_A... . Thus using the "four red pallets on a gold background" represents all the speakers in different European countries.

He got fat much before he retired. The last three seasons at Madrid he was overweight but still the most explosive player in the box.

I'm just saying how we do it in my oil producing town. The oil you get from your production or from a town producer in the local mill is for salads, toasts, etc. Oil bought in packs of 3-5l in the supermarket (extra-virgin brands) is what we use for frying.

It is so much like that, that now that I live abroad I'm flying with 8l packs of my town's oil at least twice a year.

There are many kinds of olive varieties, some of them growing in the span of one or two towns. Saying it is supposed to taste like this or like that without saying from which kind of olives it was made sounds kind of nonsensical.

Another matter is that of honesty. Italy is known to export more olive oil than it produces and it is buying production from quite a lot of towns in my country and then mixing it and packaging it with oils from other places.

If you want good olive oil, try to find small productions, ensure that it was stored in the dark if possible and taste it first (dipping bread on the oil not just sprinkling, it should be quite soaked). Supermarket olive oil of any price is only suitable for frying, that much is known.

SIM Cards Must Die 14 years ago

As an engineer working in the SIM card industry, as long as they add some other form of secure element for placing highly sensitive data like bank/id applets it would still be reasonable.

As others have commented though, I'm afraid that they would use it to lock the consumer to phone specific plans.

I like a lot the ability to take my SIM card to other phones, as it allows to carry some kind of ID with me, there are better and seamless ways of doing that that I can't wait to be implemented and deployed (a user and password to put when booting the phone is not a solution).
