Our lives are becoming more reliant on electricity than ever.

We're streaming, cooking, working, charging our cars,

even sending that hilarious joke in the group chat.

So soon we'll need even more electricity.

We could be harnessing more affordable sources of homegrown energy,

but we need to grow our electricity grid to connect it.

Leave that with us,

and we'll leave you to overanalyze

the excruciating silence of seeing two ticks, but no reply. Moving the grid forward moves us all forward. This is True Crime Kit.

We are back part two of our two-part series on this fuck knuckles, Mark Twitchell.

And when we finished in part one, Joe, we went over a lot of Star Wars lore.

We covered Dexter quite a bit.

This is just a really basic nerd that thinks he's a genius and has been copying everybody else's work and has gotten by with it for a very long time, not making anything original.

And he just cheated on his wife a lot.

And I'd say that pretty much catches this up, wouldn't you?

Yeah, yeah, I would say.

But I'm hoping that in this episode, he cut someone's head off with a lightsaber.

And I asked you about that.

And you said, you said, no, it's not going to.

Not going to have. Fucking, which is very. Latsabers have still yet to be invented. Yeah. Which makes that problematic. Right. Even now, 20 years later. And this is in 2008. Right. Okay. So a few years later, lightsabers still haven't, haven't been invented. So what's holding us back? What do you think it is?

I'm telling you what I think it is. It's the cap. The problem isn't making the lightsaber. It's making a lightsaber that stops at a certain point. It's making a lot saber that ends at, you know, two and a half foot, whatever the standard lightsaber length is. I don't know Star Wars lore like I do Harry Potter. I know that a lot of Harry Potter wands are nine and a quarter, I believe, inches, and you get your own wand at the store. But I don't know how light sabers work, but I imagine they're all between like probably two and a half, three foot. Yeah. No,'m, no, it's longer than that. That's like a light saber hatchet. No, three foot's pretty reasonable. So three foot. The problem is getting it to stop at three foot. Like, that's the problem I feel like. Yeah. And I'm not a, you know, a quantum physicist, physicist or anything, but that feels like a problem.

Getting it to just go and stop it and not actually just cut everything for infinity. Cut the world in half.
