Emails:
* Intel compiler question: Gabriele responded to the email and could
  run with modern intel compilers but just BBH, in Hee Il's email it is
  a BNS, Yosef had used Intel 19 but could not get it simulate BNS,
  Intel 18 worked (but this was a while ago)
* THC thorn issues: conversation is between Konrad and David
* PITTNull compilation failures: Intel compiler issue when it tries to
  optimize large Maple generated code chunks. Yosef suggests adding
  options (pragma), is working with a student on a leaner version of
  the code

Tickets:
* init_3_timelevels:
https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/tickets/issues/2554/init_3_timelevels-produces-nans-on-past
some nans on past timelevels but not everywhere. Steve suggests trying
to run with presync tests enabled to see if it reports sometthing
useful.
