Oppenheimer #thots
👍Was good.
🙀Heretical first impression, coulda been 30-60 min shorter.
🪄A little too Hogwarts Jedi on the science. Physics is math, not spells.
🎭Acting good. Women actors did great job with what they had but roles needed more depth.
🏜️I did an internship in Los Alamos X Division, respect the decision on which parts were filmed there and which weren't (too modern now).
🕴️Cillianheimer totally looks like The G-Man from Half-Life.
I did a one month internship in the early 90's in Los Alamos. A few fleeting memories remain.
🎇I was a Physics major so they put me in X div which was for experimental nuke things. I very very quickly learned that BS with Honors Physics Annapolis meant I'd barely completed the game intro tutorial. Helped me both respect career physicists and decide not to be one.
💾I booked time on the Cray, wrote a fission simulation which went prompt critical and it kicked me off. Didn't get more Cray time.
☢️We did some random things. One day we did an inventory on some nuclear material. It was low level and we were wearing dosimeters, but it was still kind of a weird day that I remember. Also very hot.
🏃♂️Something got messed up when they scheduled me, so I got no rental car and no roommate. I was pretty bored. I jogged constantly, at Los Alamos high elevation.
🍎One day I pair programmed control code for a tiny experimental reactor on an Apple ][. I kick ass on Apple ][ so I was actually useful.
