    Me and my mother were looking into this because of a random discussion about dating systems and her time in the Navy; an interesting thing about the Julian calendar is that one of its date forms (ordinal) is still in somewhat-common use by the US military; just with the Gregorian leap days added in. So today’s date could be rendered as 25359 (2025 day #359).

      Stardate 25359.16: NiHaDuncan has made an interesting post about dating systems on Earth. Calendar dating, not romantic dating. This post has gotten off rails quickly.
