Coffee chain in California. I loved going to the one in San Jose prior to going in to work. Known for having very dark roasts. Made popular by hippies that used to hang out there in the 60’s. Peet reportedly hated the hippies, but loved their money. So I’m told.
If you want drones from opposite sides of the planet, try combining bagpipes with didgeridoo. It’s actually pretty harmonious (there are some nice videos on YouTube). I wonder how close to the center of the earth a line connecting Glasgow Green to Uluru (formerly Ayers Rock) would pass, and whether simultaneously playing pipes and didgeridoo at these places would set up an interesting resonance in the earth’s core…
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of maths – the correct kind, and, uh, the other kind. Sadly, yours seems to belong to the latter category. Seeing as how Glasgow and Ayers rock are substantially close to being antipodes according to any online source one cares to query, I took the liberty of trying to plug the numbers into a “distance through the Earth” calculator which came back with a substantially different result than yours, and when I wasn’t sure whether to believe it or not I just modeled the whole thing in SolveSpace, which came back with much the same difference, giving me some modest confidence that the distance between those two points is (roughly, I threw away sub-degrees) around 11795km which takes the line between them as close as cca. 2410km to the center of the Earth. Clearly, that’s still nowhere _actual_ antipodes but it _is_ already supposed to be _deep_ into outer core. As for anyone begging to differ or just see for themselves, the SolveSpace file is accessible here: https://gist.github.com/blinkenlight/0e03dd2f4f065d0b21106d2e48d4b369
I did not check your file, because I’m not a SolveSpace user, but I did redo the work, and Max seems correct here. I got 2406 km using a spherical approximation of the Earth, and it seems unlikely the two of us would make exactly the same mistake.
Comes from reading an account of how The Beatles reintroduced the drone to Western music (except for bagpipes and organ grinder music, where it’s always been.)
What’s a “peet”?
Like Starbucks but drinkable. So I hear.
Also more expensive.
Peet’s is a Craft Coffee Shop chain
Peet’s Coffee

I don’t think you’d find one in Carbondale, Pennsylvania.
Maybe it’s a Peet’s-o-mat. inside the outpost. (like the Brain-o-mat)
Fair point. Might just be a way of saying “don’t wake me for anything.”
Maybe she’s originally from California.
From a long-ago TRPG session:
“Sleep is for the weak. (…) Food is for the weak. (…) Guns are for the weak. (…) (et cetera)”
“It seems like everything is for the weak.”
“Sophistry is also for the weak.”
You can never have too many drones!
Clearly they don’t have enough – no anti-zombie-bear drones!

Hawkeye: “Come on, I know what you’ve been going through. You’re exhausted.”
Col. Potter: “I am not. I slept last year.”
And of course, he was right.
Could be a musical drone. Bagpipes?

4,462 kilometers from the center of the Earth at closest approach, alas. Misses the core entirely and passes through the lower mantle.

Y’all are thinking way too hard this early in the day.
I haven’t even had coffee yet.
Too bad, because there’s none left.

Sleep is for tortoises!
Apparently, she simply has too much blood in her coffee stream.
I knew there was a logical explanation for her condition.
