If I didn't know better, I'd think Jarla did this strip specifically to spite me because how the gently caress do you translate into English a joke about getting a translation from English to Finnish wrong?

The joke in the original Finnish is of course that the dude looked up "nuts" in the dictionary and picked the wrong translation, ending up with literally "delicious nuts, nuts as in the things you screw on bolts", and of course "delicious nuts" as my translation wouldn't work so I hope "female screw" is actually a thing.

For those playing at home, the word he wanted was "pähkinä", or actually the plural form, "pähkinät".

Really have to admire RiR's lack of commitment to a bit. Two days of "Meemaw's gonna read books to all the kids at school!" and then, nothing.

Also you should really listen to Mark Trail, Pasquale, cats can devastate local ecosystems and should be kept indoors.

The screw in part of a screw is considered “male” and the part you insert into is “female”.
Never referred to this way with a nut and bolt since it’s always implied that a nut is “female”. Usually it refers to hoses and power plugs.
So yea poorly translated you could get female screw.

I swear Cul De Sac has been posted to completion multiple times through these threads and every time it comes around there's a ton of strips that don't seem familiar at all!

This isn't a complaint, just an observation - it's a great strip and maybe even things I've seen before seem fresh since they're very good

I think the best way to translate is to drop the hex nut bit and just go for the low hanging fruit.

It's a reactor powering a set of low-power, constant output electric ion thrusters, located both on the reactor and around the crew module. You'd coordinate the thrust to avoid stressing the coaxial link cable, though given the miniscule output thrust from the ion engines you've got a lot of wiggle room for balancing. It's not a terrible plan.

You've got your critical power source located a mile away from the crew who need to maintain it, so that could be fun. You also need to do something with it when you've finished your mission, but space littering was not really a concern at the time.
