How Do They Knit a Chain-Link Fence?
Readers!
For many reasons, mostly political but partly ethical, I do not use Google, Facebook, Twitter. They practice corrupt business policies, while targeting conservative websites for censoring, facts repeatedly confirmed by news stories and by my sense that Facebook has taken action to prevent my readers from recommending Behind the Black to their friends.
Thus, I must have your direct support to keep this webpage alive. Not only does the money pay the bills, it gives me the freedom to speak honestly about science and culture, instead of being forced to write it as others demand.

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.
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.
