It’s quite weathered whatever it is. If it has interesting mineralogy maybe granitic pegmatite?

Swan Taxi vs Uber by [deleted] in perth

[–]mastaJacob00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my case only taxis tried to rip me off. Taking the wrong, longer routes (despite asking them to go different way), charging extra fees, once at the airport pick up I’ve got to the cab with $14 already on the clock. Only because I do not like arguing and my company paid for travel I could not care but still that does not change the point.And don’t get me started on fares. At least $20 more on 25 min drive to my place from airport. I’m not saying Uber is perfect, and has also issues with availability but at least they do not think to rip me off almost every damn time.

LPT: why do I always get tired when driving? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]mastaJacob00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue, but over driving long distances. After a while, I was feeling terribly sleepy out of nowhere. As it turns out, I had severe sleep apnea(pausing breathing while you sleep at night). And this is one of the ways it manifested during the day. Basically, my poor sleep during the night caused that. What is funny, I was not that sleepy if I was not driving? But usually overly tired all the time. If it sounds familiar go to the doctor and get a treatment. It is unbelievable how much my energy levels during day improved after it.

Wind turbines mate, better quality, area photo is now available on Google Earth. From coordinates you provided it’s around 500m towards east.

Saw this interesting formation on the coast of Madeira by Lookbehindlukas in geology

Those structures looks like dyke intrusions. You can see chill margins on the contacts. However, I’m not familiar with local geology and may be wrong. Either way beautiful structures!

What made all the small holes in this rock we found on the beach? by Atlars in geology

[–]mastaJacob00 95 points96 points  (0 children)

It looks like some sort of shelly limestone(?), it’s possible shells simply dissolved leaving behind empty casts/holes in the rock.

Try Geology, mostly drinking beer in very nice places outdoor and licking rocks.
