How Do They Knit a Chain-Link Fence?
An evening pause: Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
As always, I could use some evening pause suggestions. If you’ve done it before, you know what to do. If you haven’t but wish to submit something, say so in a comment here, but don’t post the link to the suggestion. I will email you for it.
Readers!
My annual February birthday fund-raising drive for Behind the Black is now over. Thank you to everyone who donated or subscribed. While not a record-setter, the donations were more than sufficient and slightly above average.
As I have said many times before, I can’t express what it means to me to get such support, especially as no one is required to pay anything to read my work. Thank you all again!
For those readers who like my work here at Behind the Black and haven't contributed so far, please consider donating or subscribing. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

Worst informative video I have ever viewed. As an engineer, I am appalled.
I liked how they plastic coated it.
We used to paint arrows with a machine very similar.

“Master Hands”

“A beautiful dramatization of how the master hands of Chevrolet craftsmen form the patterns, tools and dies, and control the huge machinery that fashions the modern car.”
Take a look at AMA with Julie Gautier, one of t he world’s premier free divers. The music is “Rain in my black eyes”, done in the Y40 pool….40 meters deep in Milan.
Its one of my favorites in YouTube.
Very carefully…
I suggest Traffic’s John Barleycorn Must Die. There is a live version on Youtube that is outstanding. I also wonder that if you attempted to post the lyrics on Facebook if they would be blocked as hate speech or other violation of its ‘community standards’
Gary Westfal: Thank you for the suggestion, but you are the second person who apparently didn’t read what I wrote. I specifically asked that people not mention their suggestion here, but to only say they have one. I will email you for the suggestion.
I like the pauses to be a surprise. By describing it here, you make that somewhat difficult.
Interesting video, although I am curious how often human intervention is required in the process, either for maintenance or correcting something that goes wrong.
Are you still seeking evening pause suggestions? If so I’d like to submit something for consideration.
