Please 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?

I 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.
