tldr: WNDR3700 currently can’t handle SRV lookups correctly; solution is to manually set primary and secondary DNS servers on your PC to your ISP’s or another public DNS in the TCP/IP settings of your Local Area Connection

“Sky burial and open cremation may initially appear grotesque for Westerners, especially if they have not reflected on their own burial practice of embalming. For Tibetan Buddhists, sky burial and cremation are templates of instructional teaching on the impermanence of life.”
when i first saw this i was kinda shocked, etc. but if you think about it it’s actually a pretty elegant way to return someone’s body to nature…no wasting land/resources making coffins and maintaining cemeteries or wasting wood/fuel for cremation. plus you’re providing food for animals
Steve Jobs is probably shitting his pants and/or angrily firing people right now lulul
the making of the crazy english forest time-lapse shot. took them 2 years (!) of work to make that 60-second shot
saw this last night on the “plants” episode of discovery channel’s new “life” series. probably the most awesome time-lapse shot i’ve ever seen. (starts at 1:21)

i see what you did there
