@BetaProfiles Memory movie finally works for my device (15PM).

It seems like there are no changes added in iOS 18.1 Beta 7 😕 Did you notice any changes? Also, I believe iOS 18.1 RC will be released next week, with the official release coming on October 28, as Mark Gurman predicted.

@nikewrayy @rsgnl Hopefully in less than an hour. . .

@rsgnl when ios 18.1 beta 6?

Apple has steadily ramped up iOS 18.0.1 testing, based on the logs I have.

@SaffasRugby Springboks! 🇿🇦🏉

Can you guess this team? 95 🏆 07 🏆 19 🏆 23 🏆 Good luck ☺️

@Scottmp123 The two I identified are circled red. . . .the suspect third is circled in blue.

@CGKings317 Only two :) so I’m sure you found them both. What was the third?

Can you spot the micrometeorite(s)?

@ruff_bluffs Brings Frostech GeoGuessr YouTube shorts vibes. :-D

@frankiealoise @GeolSoc @UoBEarthScience @UoBristolVolc @abdngeology It’s possible! My M Sc supervisor wrote a paper on oscillatory zoning in minerals. rruff.info/doclib/cm/vol3… Fun and informative read. . . With more pictures of oscillatory zoning! 😁

@CGKings317 @GeolSoc @UoBEarthScience @UoBristolVolc @abdngeology It’s fascinating and absolutely beautiful. I love that this plagioclase has a xenocrystic core too 🙌🏼 (I think!)

Check out this plagioclase phenocryst from Mt Pinatubo dacite - there’s even a wee heart ❤️ #geology #petrology

For those who are involved in #iOS 18.1, #iPadOS 18.1 and #macOS 15.1 beta testing: who has prompts ready for when Image Playground gets released?

@The_Jow And shows my 2nd most favorite igneous structure/texture: fiamme! My top favorite: Spinifex Texture. :-)

One of my favourite labels on a rock display. Unsurprisingly from Rhyolite, Nevada.

@BetaProfiles I wonder if the update to be released at some point this week (maybe today) would include limited Apple intelligence. . .

I expect the first iOS 18 Public Beta to be released this week, and iOS 18 Developer Beta 4 will come next week. Here are Apple's Public Beta releases from the past two years: - iOS 17 Public Beta 1: Wednesday, July 12, 2023 - iOS 16 Public Beta 1: Monday, July 11, 2022

@geology_johnson In my view. . .if it's fissile. . .its shale. But Im an igneous geoscientist soooo there is that. . . :-)

What do you class as a "shale" in geology? I was taught it's a texture of fine grained sedimentary rock that splits easily into flat chips or splinters. I keep finding it used synonymously with mudstone or claystone even when they are not fissile. Which is correct?

@The_Jow Camped there overnight in connection with a high school field expedition. Your photos brought back memories. :-)

Palouse Falls, and some impressive flood basalt stratigraphy of the Columbia River Large Igneous Province…

@crankyflier Yes indeed. I see a "Score a hole-in-1 earn a free return trip" promo. . . . . . . . joking aside. . . I've been through IST when it was only 72 hours old. . . . this terminal rendering would make IST look like a mid-size airport.

@CGKings317 Probably, it's wild isn't it?

@polarscribe 2045…Suddenly I feel old…🙈 hopefully I can witness this eclipse. ☀️🌕 🌎

@mud_and_stars When I lived in South Africa for two years, I would routinely get Kanonkop Pilotage from either Woolworths or Pick 'n Pay. Quite good wine if I recall correctly. Glad to have Piggly Puff show me and Angara where it's all from. :-)

@mud_and_stars Oooh You and Piggly Puff might be interested in these geology places in the Cape Town Area: fossilpark.org.za and the Sea Point contact. At least Yenesei, (my plushie shark) recommends these places, he's been hearing me talk geology for a while. 🦈😁🌋

@mud_and_stars Have a good trip across the equator! Are you flying into OR Tambo/Joburg or Cape Town?

@flightradar24 YEG/CYEG - Edmonton Intl.

Can you guess the airport? #FR24quiz
