    I’m pretty good at thinking outside the box and innovating, so I’d probably just die.

    Dogs seem to like me so maybe I’d be one of the first to domesticate dogs. I’d probably just live with dogs.

    i’m a fairly deft hand at pottery. i’m also decent at fiber crafts. depends when and where during the stone age, of course, that’s a pretty big expanse. if i’m really lucky, i’d be in one of the many cultures with special spiritual roles for trans folks. i’ve also got good rote memorization skills, so i can help with oral history.

    I’m a natural at shooting a traditional bow.
    I know every edible plant in my area, and some that get you high.
    I can find north without a compass, day and night.
    I can make a fire from things I can gather in the woods.
    I know how to safely fell a tree, split logs and build a shelter with hand tools.
    I know how to act around most predators and have experience handling a spear.

    I think I’d do reasonably well.
    Sometimes I wish I was born in the stone age. My ADHD is completely gone whenever I’m in the wild.

      I started reading and was like “okay, sure buddy” then I remembered I have developed a lot of the same skills, including tracking wildlife.

      And then I remembered the time I learned to identify clay deposits and to separate out the clay so I could build stuff with it.

      So I thought: “wth, this is so weird! Ohh, they have ADHD too… That explains a lot”.

      I wasn’t diagnosed at the time, when I was learning to find clay, but that should have been a sign lol

      Great! I got a random Excel question. Sometimes when I pull reports at work the format for the price changes. Instead of showing the $ and the correct amount of spaces after the cent sign like .00, it has no $ and many digits after the cent sign like .000000000000000.

      Now when I try to change the cell format back to currency, accounting, text, or anything it keeps the same format and amount of digital after the cent sign. The work around I found is to open up a different Excel doc type it in the correct format and then copy and paste over the incorrect formatted cell.

      Do you can a better answer or did I explain horribly and your as confused as me when I try to fix Excel?

        I haven’t encountered this but have you tried select the cell, going to the home ribbon tab I think, then clicking normal. Then adding the number formating you want

        Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I’ve ever had. It’s become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

          I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I’ve written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn’t a bunch of data she’d deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

          The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.
