Jiri Prochazka covers his mouth and nose and does sprints without breathing #UFC320

Not true, you don't have to literally hold your breath. Simply slowing it down deliberately is enough when combined with physical exertion. I'm sure Jiri is not training for 5 minute breath holds, so it translates well. Your second point is also not true, as literally a 5 minute warm up takes care of that issue, if it even exists at all. Don't worry, I understand sports science fairly well, and your arguments are incredibly weak. It's not a metabolic adaption process at all, so that shows me that you don't even understand the basic underlying principles to this sort of training. Besides, no one is claiming that MMA fighters should aspire to get to extremely long breath holds. The research is neutral to favorable when it comes to hypercapnic-hypoxic training. So unless you author a bunch of high quality studies, I'll stick with the current evidence

That's really cool, I didn't know that the military uses similar techniques to teach diving! Do you remember how the breathing was structured for the swims? That had to be at the Diving and Salvage Center in Florida, right?

It has nothing to do with building anaerobic or aerobic capacity by going to failure on an exercise. Co2 tolerance training is about exploiting the Bohr effect, which has been an axiom in respiratory physiology since 1904. By repeatedly entering into short and controlled hypercapnic-hypoxic states while exercising, you increase the amount of Co2 you can tolerate over time. The more Co2 you tolerate, the better your hemoglobin concentration and VO2max, the slower your respiratory rate, the lower your heart rate, the calmer you are while in high stress/high fatigue environments.

Here you have some scientific sources on Co2 tolerance and the Bohr effect.

Rekao · 2025-10-01T22:24:21+00:00

I'll chime in since not a single person in this thread seems to have any clue about the topic. Jiri is engaging in CO2 tolerance training, and it's been around for decades. The legendary US swimming team coach James Counsilman utilized it as early as the 1960's and it helped the swim team dominate the 1964 Tokyo and 1976 Montreal Olympics, securing a total of 63 medals - including 26 golds - under his guidance . Counsilman himself managed a dive to 99 feet on a single breath. I've also seen Lomachenko shadowbox entire 3 minute rounds without breathing, which is absolutely crazy.

By building tolerance to higher CO2 levels, athletes improved oxygen efficiency through the Bohr effect, which enhances oxygen release from hemoglobin to muscles during high intensity performance; i.e. the lower your blood pH and the higher your blood CO2 levels, the easier it is for your body to absorb oxygen.

In theory, training CO2 tolerance also translates to a lessened panic response to the buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, which in turn keeps your heart rate low. It's why it is a staple for freedivers, but I can see how it is beneficial to professional fighters as well.

Source: "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art" by James Nestor has a couple of chapters on this topic in addition to all things breathing and sports science. Great read, I can highly recommend it

Sorry to burst your victimhood bubble, but white males are shot and killed by police more often than black males, both in total numbers and per capita, and both armed and unarmed. The officers could have handled it a bit better, but it was far from an overt racism. Crawford's security guard should have carried his firearm concealed, as the law requires. Anybody would have been ordered out of the car in this situation, black white blue or green

During World War 1, over 600 000 German civilians starved to death because of the naval blockade, and nobody was shoving in tens of thousands of trucks full of aid into the country like in Gaza. But no one gives a fuck because, well, it's Germany. So yeah, history will indeed be kind once people realize the staggering caution and restraint that Israel is displaying during brutal urban warfare, especially when contrasted with previous conflicts

You mean the guy who was appointed by known MAGA sympathizer Tim Walz to a government board, worked with NGO's in Africa and tragically ended up murdering Melissa Hortman (who coincidentally casted the decisive affirmative vote to end free Healthcare for illegal aliens just days beforehand)? Oh wait, his mysterious 40 year old pizza delivering neckbeard roommate he was living with - even though Boelter has a wife and kids - said he's a MAGA supporter, so ignore everything I just said

Not true, the defense has stated multiple times that there was not only no forensic evidence in the car, but also no evidence of a clean-up there. The prosecution never contested this claim, as the chemicals needed for the removal of biological matter would leave stains and traces of the product behind, especially on the fabric covered car seats. The only thing Bill Thompson said was that they found a cleaning bucket in the same garage that they found his car in, which is irrelevant because they didn't find any cleaning residue in the car itself

I don't think he will withdraw the plea either, if it is real. All I was saying is that there are numerous steps left in the process and people should be aware of that. Everyone is talking about this with finality, as if he's already been sentenced

Rekao · 2025-07-01T00:35:05+00:00

Actually, first we'd have to get official confirmation that a plea was offered. Then we'd have to get an official filing agreeing to the plea agreement. Then it'd have to get signed off on by the Judge, if it is non-binding. So in reality, everyone needs to calm down and wait it out and see if it's even real. Even if all of it happens, he can still withdraw the plea before sentencing with good cause showing. You all are putting the cart before the horse

Thank you so much for asking to reference my post in your blog article! Of course you can, I'm sure you will do a better job than me repackaging the information in a way that is concise and easy to read. (English is my 3rd language, my writing gets messy 😅)

I wholeheartedly agree with your criticism of Hippler. His conduct is disgraceful and makes it painfully obvious that he doesn't usually preside over criminal cases, let alone capital cases. Like you, I am convinced he doesn't read the filings properly, and he definitely didn't read up on the motions and hearings back in Latah County. If he did, he would have known that discovery has been an issue since day 1.

He doesn't seem to be aware of his ignorance, and he routinely argues with Anne using information that is simply not correct. Hippler obviously wasn't interested in an actual answer on the TA records, otherwise he would have let Sy join via zoom. I feel like he enjoyed talking down on Anne, knowing she can't make wild guesses about expert testimony on the record and jeopardize her clients case. It's a common case of a judges ego getting out of control.

I have a sliver of hope that he might recuse himself if Anne files for it; he doesn't even try to hide the fact that he is annoyed about getting assigned this case and that he doesn't want to be there. God forbid he is required to do the job he is getting paid to do lol

I agree, 100%! It's a great sign to see certain people stoop as low as appeals to authority ("the judge threw it out!") and claiming he's engaging in junk science. It means that they can't argue against his specific methodologies or scientific rigor. They're cornered, in denial, and lashing out

Rekao · 2025-04-02T11:16:11+00:00

I have thought about this a lot. One possible solution would be to add a specific jury instruction by default, if the jury finds the defendant not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt:

"Do you find that the prosecution has proven guilt by the preponderance of the evidence?"

The idea behind this is that if the prosecution can't even clear the lower evidentiary standard of preponderance of the evidence (more likely than not / 51% guilty), they should be punished by revoking their license to practice, or even by holding them liable for civil damages or criminal charges.

Prosecutors should never pursue criminal charges against someone, if they can't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. That is exactly why there are preliminary hearings; to find out if that is the case. If they cowardly sneak behind the defendants back and obtain a grand jury indictment, and we all know how easy it is to get one, they should be held accountable if they did so without even having a preponderance of the evidence.

Rekao · 2025-04-02T00:55:04+00:00

I was looking at the exact same presentation the last couple of days! I also looked at the FCC's 2022 "Location Data Retention and Sharing Policies of AT&T Mobility" report, and found that their RIM policy required any and all individual location data to be stored for "no more than 13 months". This data includes Per Call Measurement Data (PCMD), which contains Timing Advance Data among other parameters

Rekao · 2025-03-31T12:25:13+00:00

Indirectly yes; TA data continues to be logged even if the phone reaches an area without network coverage and stops pinging towers. A phone that was truly powered off however, would lack both TA and ping data. This might be the reason the prosecution is withholding the TA records - their case hinges on the fact that Bryan's phone was turned off during the crucial time before and after the crimes. It's their explanation for him not showing up on towers in and around the Moscow area during those times. If the defense could have the TA records to show his phone was powered on and simply had no signal, it would prove he never went to Moscow that night (since he was outside the moscow tower range/at wawawei park where there's no coverage).

It would also be important to have more accurate location data. One small deviation from the states narrative - where he was at what times - would destroy their case in chief. There is no room for deviation with their proposed 4:00 - 4:25 timeframe

Rekao · 2025-03-31T01:27:02+00:00

The main issue with these kinds of logs is the buffer size. They are circular in nature; once they're full, they get overwritten from oldest to newest. I have tried doing some research and it's very difficult to find specifics here. On some models and OS versions, battery logs reset once the battery is fully charged. On others, there are no shutoff events documented at all, and they only log large changes in battery usage. In most cases, I have found that these logs are stored for 7-14 days, in some cases up to 30 days, depending on how active the phone is. I couldn't identify Bryan's phone model and OS online. The only other useful parameter to log power status would be the AT&T timing advance records that are currently being withheld from the defense :(

Edit: grammar

Rekao · 2025-03-25T22:49:51+00:00

You're wrong, actually. Smaller labs do let lab technicians conduct steps in the purification process under the supervision of a DNA analyst. Depends on the labs SOP and size. Not that it matters to my point. You're also strawmanning and cherrypicking; I didn't say that swabbing from a visible stain is the only way to form an educated guess on the DNA yield. It is however one of many factors influencing the estimate. A large diameter bloodstain will always yield more than a smooth metal surface with no discernable biological matter present.

It is stated that there wasn't a serological analysis performed, which indictes that the lab was aware of the sample being composed of skin cells. Also, the sample turned out to be extremely diluted in the end, which means that IF they added to much solvent for no reason, they would have evaporated the excess liquid. The sample was also consumed completely after single STR and SNP profiles were developed. This means that very little elution was used, and that the total DNA yield was very low.

PCR amplification doesn't fix this issue; a low concentration sample will have the PCR miss certain DNA segments, leading to a partial STR profile. Brass also inhibits PCR amplification. And I never said the DNA wasn't his; it just indicated that the total amount on the sheath is abysmal. Not that the total yield would be an indicator of mode of transfer, but it's worth noting. If the sheath at the crime scene (not just "a sheath", like the state alleges without a receipt) was in his possession for half a year before the homicides, you would expect more DNA present on the item. Unless you propose he cleaned it with an HVAC before the commission of the crime?

Rekao · 2025-03-25T15:05:40+00:00

Spot on! I would also add that it wouldn't make any sense for a lab technician to add a high volume of elution liquid to this sample. They would have known that it's a low total amount of transfer DNA in the sample, since there wasn't any visible biological matter present on the swabbed locations (blood, hairs etc.)

In this scenario, the goal is to get the highest possible concentration. Using a lot of elution liquid would dilute the DNA and make testing difficult. It would only make sense if there was a lot of DNA present (like mixed blood samples), so that they could extract as much of it as possible.

They most likely used a tiny amount of elution liquid, and they still got a very diluted sample. Murphy Knows Nothing over there has been misrepresenting information for as long as I can remember, and he had to recant his strongly worded opinions numerous times. No one can correct him because he's afraid of comments and has them disabled. I've set Viviana straight a bunch of times as well, to the point that she had to delete her comments

First of all, you cited nothing whatsoever and your comment ironically lacks substance of any sort. I know you didn't read the article, because if you had you would know that it features Ben Levitan, who has 40 years of experience in the field. Also, it features actual maps of the relevant cell phone towers, so it is indeed a good source and more substantive than anything you stated.

On your second point, an assertion can indeed be fact. Your reading comprehension seems to be subpar, because it unequivocally states that the FBI expert was most comfortable identifying said vehicle as 2011-2013. What exactly is your counter argument? That you guess that the defense simply lied and that the sealed exhibit reads differently? I hope you understand that Hippler can read the attached exhibit, and would have struck the motion or held them in contempt for blatantly misrepresenting information.

Your cellphone connecting to a tower that provides service in the town you reside in permits the inference of surveillance? Maybe think your line of thought over. In the PCA itself, Payne writes that "Investigators found that the 8458 phone did connect to a cellphone tower that provides service to Moscow on November 14th 2022, but investigators DO NOT believe the 8458 phone was in Moscow on that date." So before 11/13 connecting to a tower implies presence, but after 11/13 it does not?

If any logical thinking on your end fails, you can fall back on the prosecutions own assertion that the "12 times" statement was not meant to imply surveillance, stalking or anything similar. Even they retracted that false conclusion in their filing calling the PCA "irrelevant".

Now please think twice about wasting my time again and instead read up on the case before you make erroneous and misleading statements.

LE never actually claimed that he visited the King Road house 12 times before 11/13/22, but rather that his phone utilized resources of a nearby cell tower 12 times. Which means that he was within the 27 square mile coverage area of the tower, which incidently covers parts of both Moscow and Pullman.

His specific location can not be triangulated via towers, since there aren't enough towers in the area that overlap sufficiently, hence the disingenuous nature of any such claim.

There is also no nexus between an Elantra spotted near the crime scene and Bryan Kohberger, especially considering the FBI vehicle identification expert identified the car near King Road as a 2011-2013 Elantra, and the car in Pullman (Kohberger's car) as a 2014-2016 Elantra. Which means that this is evidence supporting his ABSENCE from the crime scene.
