abufrejoval "volcanic material" is lava and ash: pretty sure it's not the best to make boats that float. Were you thinking about vulcanized material perhaps? Or was an alien species involved? Reply

Or was an alien species involved? Umm, did you even read this article? Its basalt stone extruded into fibres. Then they make INFLATABLE boats with it… so yea, they float. Vulcanization is done to rubber. It creates cross links between polymer chains. Totally separate – no aliens needed. Reply

A rubber boat (usually involving vulcanization), which is actually said to be rigid (how do you then inflate that?) had me miss the detail, that the fibres were in fact volcanic in origin… So should I delete my comment or let it stand as a signpost of my hubris and humiliation?

I've even seen (videos) of yacht designs incorporating a bit of that mixed approach for better handling in rough seas (cut & paste from pilot boat design), and potentially even careless drivers in harbours, that would be more my style, if only I could afford it.

  • Volatility remains possible near catalysts
  • Macro rates and liquidity can dominate flows
