yeah, before 2004 (afaik) more US print outlets used red = left and blue = right, and/but many TV stations would actually flip them each time to avoid the commie connotations

Archie Tse, The New York Times graphics editor who made the choice when the Times published its first color presidential election map in 2000, provided a nonpolitical rationale, explaining that "Both 'Republican' and 'red' start with the letter 'R.'"

I was baffled at the what i very def perceived as a reassignment of red to gop in that time, as i always recalled it as red>dems which made intuitive sense based on red/left history. i really dont recall it alternating ever, but- if they say so.

“If it had been flipped, the map would have been too dark,” he said. “The blue would have been swamping the red. Red is a lighter color.”idiot.

There are different kinds of kale. Only some of them would I use in a salad (besides baby kale) without doing the old lemon salt hand massage on it.
― Yerac, Monday, 12 August 2019 00:11 (five years ago) link
Kale is very low in oxalic acid. Chard has a lot.

Kale is commonly consumed raw in smoothies. I like Tuscan kale for salad purposes but a nice regular kale caesar can be good too

I think I’m solid with kale but am limited in raw arugula (rocket) consumption because it makes my throat itchy. Weird allergy?
― untuned mass damper (mh), Monday, 12 August 2019 03:42 (five years ago) link
I find the arugula in the UK is a lot different than the one in the US. The US one is too peppery/coarse?

I just learned last week that paprika is made from bell pepper/sweeter capsicum. I just thought it appeared as itself, paprika, somehow.
― Yerac, Monday, 12 August 2019 03:55 (five years ago) link
Haha, I just learned this too when shopping for paprika for goulash. I've been leaning heavily on smoky paprika lately for a lot of recipes, but the goulash called very specifically for sweet. I was confused by this until I learned there's no difference between sweet paprika and regular paprika.

Interesting. Canadian Oxford Dictionary says "vs."

I (British) was taught a long time ago that a dot at the end of an abbreviation was needed only if letters were missing there - i.e. only needed if the last letter of the abbr. is not the last letter of the full word. So "abbr.", "co.", "pop." etc., but not "Dr", "Ltd", "vs" etc. Probably only the opinion of that particular teacher, but it's stayed with me.

I actually prefer the British rule there ("Mr" > "Mr.") but Canadian style seems to side with the Yanks on this one. Maybe we just want to use the maximum number of characters so we double "l"s and throw in "o"s before "ur" but also add in these periods after abbreviations and use double quotes instead of single.
