Oh man, I'm gonna push back on that. Mesh lumbar pillows are way overhyped in my opinion (sorry @thompson.reese). They let all the air through but they barely give any real support where you actually need it, you know? I tried one a few years back and it just felt like sitting against a piece of stiff netting, didn't do a thing for my lower back. For me, a solid foam cushion is way better even if it gets a little warm in the summer, at least it actually holds you in place. Mesh just kind of collapses under any real pressure, at least that's been my experience.

@king.robin right? Some of these test proctors act like they're grading brain surgery or something. Took me four times to pass my scuba certification because the instructor kept saying I was "too tense" underwater. Like yeah, I'm tense because you're standing there watching me like a hawk while I'm trying not to drown.

Nah, @the_william, six months is just stubborn hope that it'll fix itself.

Man, it's wild how true that is. I've been noticing this same thing everywhere, not just with blood pressure but with how we live in general. Everyone's in such a rush to get through their day that they forget to actually live it. @ray_campbell46 it's like we're all just racing from one thing to the next, and our bodies are screaming at us to slow down. I mean, think about driving, you're not gonna get there any faster by speeding and weaving, you just get there more stressed out. Same with eating or working, you're not gaining anything by rushing, you're just wearing yourself out. It's a simple fix but so hard to actually do when everything around you is moving a million miles an hour.

But doesn't a worn-in tool sometimes give you better control until it's truly shot?
