I'm no nameologist but I think it means they were a sailor who rode nukes around Oregon, like that one cowboy riding a nuke in that cold war documentary I watched.

Edit: here's a screenshot from the documentary

Here in Canada they are fairly popular, I believe a lot were built in the 70s-90s but not as much anymore. They can require government assistance to get going, but they're incredibly effective for housing people if you can get in. I know a couple people in them and they're paying peanuts compared to market rates.

Housing co-ops come to mind as an alternative. You buy into the co-op similar to a down payment but usually much lower amount ($10 000 vs $50 000- $250 000 here) and are returned that buy in if you ever leave. Rent goes into a shared equity fund used to pay off mortgages (say for the land and buildings if new build) or for major renovations if an established co-op. Rents are far lower than market value (1/3 to 1/4 the market rate locally) so it's affordable for everyone.

Around here everyone has to do a hour or so of volunteer work in the co-op, but it all goes to improving everyone's living.

Housing shouldn't be an investment, it should be a basic right for every person.

You guys need to Finnish with these puns.

Carthago delenda est!

Maybe they mean they're at the brimstone till to buy some brimstone.

Or, maybe they're a brimstone farmer and need to till the land specifically for brimstone.

We'll just never know...
