#3I wonder how Paradox handles this stuff in their games like Europa Universalis. Have they ever made a "the pope wants you to switch calendar systems" event which changes the actual in-game date?

EU3 and EU4 at least had no leap years. I assume 1, 2 and 5 are the same.
Checking the wiki, eu5 has an advance (guess these are like the nation ideas in eu4?) for Julian calendar which gives you +10% to orthodox or miaphysite nations. I doubt it has any effect in the calendar system in the games UI.

#5Please use HTTPS.
I use HTTPS only. I don't think HTTP is acceptable for anyone let alone a technical blog post. It takes a few minutes, and it prevents me and all your visitors from getting all kinds of MITM injections.
Thanks.

MITM attack on a read-only text webpage... okay.
More annoying is the slightly shiny/shaded text that is supposed to highlight something. Who chose this style palette?

#8It’s actually worse than that. It wasn’t always whole coubtries who decided to adopt (or not) but cities and sometimes people within cities (i.e. the protestants in the city would be lagging, or maybe I’m misremembering and this was about people who where abroad)
In any case, for awhile, the date you picked depended on who you were writing to. And then also the relative standing. If he was of much lower standing you might force your own calendar on them.
Also, I think with the previous calendar it was always a bit debatable what year december belonged to. I can’t quite remember the details.

I think you would have a better argument if you said something like: "I don't want my ISP knowing about the content I read" or something along those lines. MITM for a text download is like saying we have to have https for dns (yes DoH exists now), but the point still stands. You aren't sending any sensitive data to the website, MITM is unlikely.

It also prevents all kinds of clients who (for various reasons) can't implement SSL from visiting your website. I'm sure this is a "small web" blog, whose author wants to be visited by e.g. a Commodore 64, an OS 9 iMac, or somebody who just wants to telnet in. If the sensitivity of the information on this page was critical or you were going to be submitting information then by all means yes, SSL is important, but if you're going to be reading a personal blog about calendars then http is probably fine. Of course the ideal solution is offering both and letting the client choose.
