GM Frens, want to learn more about premium olive oils? (Premium meaning *real* 'extra virgin', unavailable in most supermarkets).
Look at this Dutch importer of Tunesian Premium Olive oils. The descriptions of the 6 types of oil it sells are rich in smell and taste and polyphenols properties. Educational !
Example:
CHEMLELI
•POLYPHENOLS LEVEL: 1,434 MG/KG. This extra virgin olive oil is made from the cold extraction of 100% Chemleli olives. Chemleli is a 100% Tunisian olive variety. It is the most planted variety in Tunisia due to its ability to adapt to the summer heat and cold winters in the orchards. It is a robust variety that was already admired by the Romans for its delicious olive oil. This olive oil has a delicate taste with aromas of green almond, banana and tomato, and a medium pungency. It pairs well with salads, eggs, white cheeses, chicken, fish, and sandwiches.
•Health properties:
Polyphenol value: 1,434 mg/liter (ultra high!). Polyphenols are the antioxidants that make our olive oils so extremely healthy.
Rich in vitamins E and K, Omega 3 and 6, and squalene
100% organic. The entire production is free from chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
•Awards
The Chemleli has won the following prices in international olive oil competitions:
Gold in Mario Solinas, Spain (2024), the most prestigious international olive oil competition in the world.
Gold in BIOL, Italy (2024). The BIOL award is one of the most important international awards dedicated to extra virgin olive oil produced using organic farming techniques.
Selected by Leone D'Oro, Italy (2024) after being tested by their tasting panel. No organoleptic defects found.
(BTW, The shop only delivers to customers in the Netherlands, so just for educational purposes; I have no relation to the shop or owner).

Companies like IBM and (iirc) Google use quantum computers in labs purely as a marketing tool. Each year they proclaim a new success. “Now 4 qubits working!”.
So the average watcher will extrapolate and think: “In 10 or 20 years” the fully working QC will become available.
NOT considering the limits set by the laws of nature.
Time travel will be available sooner than quantum computers. (I mean: both never).
If you want to go hardcore, you can watch 6.5 hours live stream recordings of the Presidio Bitcoin Quantum Summit: https://www.youtube.com/@PresidioBitcoin/streams
For a TLDR, I copied the transcripts and asked AI to summarize and then create a list of to-dos for the Bitcoin Design Community. I shared those in the bitcoin-design-guide channel in Discord.
I have a bit of a placeholder issue for this topic for the guide that I'll try to add to over time. https://github.com/BitcoinDesign/Guide/issues/1133
“A useful quantum computer needs to process a set of continuous parameters that is larger than the number of subatomic particles in the observable universe.”

Agree.
In Europe, there are small boutique importers of quality olive oils, made by passionate producers in Italy, Greece, Spain.
Just an example (in Dutch) :
“Cold press Extra virgin” is a bit of marketing nonsense: Extra virgin is always /can only be cold pressed.
Don’t buy olive oil from big brands (Bertoli), best buy Spanish olive oil, as Spain has most strict controlled production processes.
Olive oil+ vinegar + optionally some mustard, drops of lime juice, ground salt and black pepper: perfect for every salad. 🥗
Do you have *fresh* extra virgin olive oil? it should smell fresh, like cut grass.
Lookup production date, it should be more recent than 24 months. After opening, keep olive oil cool and dark (but not in fridge).
Oh no, Bitcoin is not ISO-20022 compliant!
