PSA: My friend said my cold pizza with ranch was 'a cry for help'

Three years ago I got told the same thing for eating leftover pizza with a little squeeze of lime juice on it, and now my whole family does it. @grace_white the hot sauce really is the way to go, cuts through the grease and wakes everything up.

Still bitter about Santa Clarita Diet getting canned

Oh man, don't even get me started. I'm still half-convinced Netflix cancelled it just to mess with people who actually commit to a show. A wrap-up movie would be nice, but knowing them they'd probably give us a 10-minute "conclusion" tucked into a random holiday special.

Had a day last week where every single cut went perfectly

Holy cow, yes! I had that happen last fall on a silver maple in my neighbor's yard. Every cut dropped exactly where I aimed it, no snagging or hanging up. The whole thing came down in maybe forty five minutes and I just stood there staring at the pile like it was magic. Those days are rare but they feel incredible when they happen.

That Tuesday I found a weird bunker map in an old library book

Oh you're not losing it at all lol. I found something similar a couple years ago in a 1960s hiking guide for the Sierra Nevada. There was a folded up piece of notebook paper with a crude drawing of a trail leading to an old mine shaft marked with an X. I actually drove up there the next weekend with my brother and we found the shaft, totally caved in but the entrance was still there with some rusted tools scattered around. I think people used to stash all kinds of stuff in library books back before the internet was a thing. Maybe check the library book for any other markings on the map, sometimes they have initials or dates that can give you clues about who drew it.

Spent 6 hours debugging a missing semicolon in JavaScript yesterday

Oh man, I feel your pain on that. Missing a curly brace, a comma, forgetting that one semi-colon, it's always the tiny things that get you. Solidarity is the right word for that whole experience.
