New MESA stellar tracks with varied winds and convective mixing produce a primary black hole mass function with twin peaks near 8 and 13 solar masses in most variations, the higher peak dominated by mass-ratio-reversal systems, with rates varying by a factor of six.

Stable mass transfer produces two distinct peaks in merging binary black hole primary mass and mass ratio distributions via mass ratio reversal under conservative mass transfer.
Interstellar objects may contribute enough baryonic mass to reduce the local dark matter halo density to 0.24 GeV/cm³.
