Eh, I don't particularly feel like my great big hairy legs would look good in them. I'm not really opposed either, though.

Where does OP make any Christian-specific assumptions?
Every major religion tends to be extremely flexible about what God will and won't judge. If you're talking about any of the typical monotheistic ones, they're supposed to be all-knowing, all-powerful beings who love you - if that were true none of that shit could happen. Since it does all the time, it clearly isn't, so whatever else seems like an "academic" point.
Huh. Hmm. I guess not all cats.
No, it is not a scam or like the TSA. (... which is of much less clear benefit, but that's a different story.)
Security that we never needed before, but now suddenly we do.
How do you figure? Dropping unsafe practices earlier would've been a great idea, it was just another item in the long list of "people suck at technology", that stuck around out of habit and sloppiness. HTTPS is not new, but for a long time it was much more acceptable to deal with plain unsafe solutions for many uses. Since setting up an HTTPS site for free got very, very easy, there just weren't many excuses left.
Now we’re dependent on a third party gatekeeper for permission to have a web site.
Sort of. By necessity, in a chain of trust, the buck has to stop somewhere, that's your root "authority". In some cases you just make your own on the logic that you trust yourself, or accept some other cert/authority as trusted, or tell the browser "yeah whatever, I know what I'm doing" if you know it's safe. The catch is that then, for any number of reasons, you can't necessarily know it's safe.
It’s a move by the weasels-that-be to turn the Internet into yet another tool for profit and control.
No offense, are you sure you have the technical background required to know that?
I was mostly providing the IPA as a joke. It's just copied from somewhere, I could probably track it back down and you could take it up with them. Certainly nothing in "door" or "hadouken" is anything close to an "oo" no matter how they're all written.
In Japanese the syllable definitely does not rhyme with "too", that's closer to う which is not a vowel (albeit a character) in this word. Either way this is my bad for trying to use English phonetically.
I should've said "look up a video where it's pronounced by a Japanese person" up front. :p
Not easily. Power is a function of current, which requires your multimeter to be in series with the load.
Nah. Masc. I do appreciate the hell out of them on others, though.

Or if the IPA is not helpful:
"Ha" as in "hard" but with a shorter vowel, not the æ thing from "had".
"Door" without the R - the stress is here (hadouken). The important part is avoiding "oh" which sounds extremely thickly Anglo ("chipoohhhtlayyyyyy")
Ken is ken, I guess.
It's a shame I can't pull off thigh highs, I could use that gaming bonus.
Good parallel. Trusting DNS with interpreting a hostname is not all that different from trusting CAs about whom else you should trust.
