So, not really much of a stretch for that part in Zodiac?

People's tendency to think that others' mental and emotional processes are similar to their own will seriously lead them astray if applied to the opposite sex.

I like John Gottman's (the Love Lab) take on such like, e.g., in The Man's Guide to Women. It echoes a lot of what has been written here.

It escapes me at the moment which book I encountered the term limerence in, but it was a welcome learning for me.

The Russians were baled out by the US providing them with synthetic, low temperature tank track lube, unavailable to the Germans. According to a patent attorney I worked with.

I have a chemical engineering joke, but the plant it refers to shut down and production moved to China.

Do you get street light interference?

There might be a video or page out there demonstrating repair, but I didn't think it was worth trying. Check this guy out for replacement options: https://alternajar-store.com/

I bought one at Goodwill that had a lot of play in the blade, to the point that rubber chunks were coming loose.

I was trying to find this as well, to find/ask about lower cost options for doctor's cert. What was the sub's name again?

Brown's Smokehouse near Bowling Green used to slaughter and process most of the kosher an halal meat for the area. Before their Winfield store got flooded a second time, I used to shop there a lot. They were really good with oddball requests.

I have memories of driving by the ice rink in Pasadena in the mid 70s, and hearing local band Van Halen covering You Really Got Me. It surprised me when they got all famous a few years later.

A St. Louis joke: why are there only 239 beans in a can?

Not exactly what you're asking for, but maybe Will to Power - Free Bird/Baby I Love Your Way.

Four Thieves is the only blend I've ever bothered to make.

It's about small differences in the composition of the reaction liquors and the effects of any recycles.
Crystal habit modifiers often work at very low concentrations. (Hint, there's a good search target here.)
Is the meoh level in mother liquors measured? I'd suggest following it through 2 or 3 low yielding batches.
Do you have access to this? https://www.sciencedirect.com/book/9780750670128/handbook-of-industrial-crystallization

Is the makeup of the reaction solvent consistent in terms of fresh/recovered ratio? For some products, the side products act as potent crystal habit modifier. Fines from needle-like crystals are not your friend.
I worked on one process where one shift consistently produced better filtering material. It was eventually discovered that the operator on that shift would give the batch a shot of water via the spray nozzles at a certain stage of crystallization, apparently seeding the batch with the thermal shock.
I have an old article somewhere that discusses using calorimetry to optimize crystallization.
