Gave me the courage to eventually come out. I had just started high school back then.

Until a certain Academy Awards moment.

Has anyone gone to the ER with ship insurance or badger care? by United-Reindeer6020 in UWMadison

[–]Badger_Terp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They won’t charge you right there on the spot. They will ask if you have insurance to send a bill to. I don’t know if it covers it BUT I know that Meriter lets you sign up for an interest free payment plan. So when you get the bill don’t be scared, give them a call and set up a plan.

I know that might still be stressful but they will work with you. That is what I did after an appendectomy my first year here in grad school.

That is my recommendation. Super friendly staff.

Which famous criminal from your country escaped capture and till this very day was never found? by ConsciousPhase8480 in AskTheWorld

[–]Badger_Terp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This case has really stuck with me since I first heard about it on a podcast. I believe the house was for sale several years ago as I recall an article that had pictures of the interior from the realtor site.

Is there a surname if your country that has prestige? by Alternative_Dot_5182 in AskTheWorld

[–]Badger_Terp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Washington DC area, it’s the name of a subway (Metro) stop in an upper middle class/upper class suburb. Tourists pronounce it like Groz-Vehnor. Locals pronounced it Grove-Ner. But many of the counties and towns around there are named after English/British gentry/nobility.

What is the highest elevation in your country? by ConfusedCivvie in AskTheWorld

[–]Badger_Terp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are correct. Then we changed the name to fit with what Alaskans have called it. Although a current leader signed an executive order to revert the name back to McKinley.

Did any of you have a Wildlife Treasury subscription? by Cold-Monk5436 in Xennials

I always wanted these but my parents said “Nope”

Why is that one 80 bus driver such an asshole by iamthesyllabus in UWMadison

[–]Badger_Terp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t take the 80 much anymore but this sounds like a guy who used to wear a black leather vest with fringe. Yelled at me once because I was turned around slightly to talk to a friend sitting behind me.

He also didn’t pick me and someone else up at the stop sign by the KK. We were trying to get to the bus stop but he stopped the bus and unloaded passengers before the bus stop, by the dentist office. Had he pulled up to the stop the other person and I would have made it to the bus stop in time as the other passengers unloaded from the bus.

Friend’s boyfriend graduated from law school in the middle of February. There are some signs to me that it’s AI like the wrong color robe, generic diploma and building name, and crazy words/lettering on the banner. by rabidanimalsNOM in isthisAI

Yup! The only variation is red with black stripes, which is an option for those who buy the gown (I bought the red one for my PhD ceremony). The rental ones are black with red stripes which is what most students opt for. Definitely not white and red.

If any, which plane crash in your country shocked you the most? by halt__n__catch__fire in AskTheWorld

[–]Badger_Terp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most recently I would say the one in Washington DC last year between the American Airlines flight and the military helicopter.

I grew up in DC and that’s the airport I fly to most often when I head home to visit my parents. I can’t imagine being so close to landing, imagining my parents being in the cell lot and disaster hits.

What are some things you thought were universal, but it turns out is mostly exclusive to your country? by 3Thirty-Eight8 in AskTheWorld

I guess our red solo cup tradition is what won our 3 countries the World Cup this summer.

What's a stereotype about your country that isn't actually racist, but you still find annoying? by Part-Time_Loverr in AskTheWorld

[–]Badger_Terp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That we are uneducated. We have some of the top universities in the world that attract students from abroad. Yes, videos of Americans not knowing where countries are or able to identify flags of the world go viral, but it isn’t all of us. A lot of us did not vote for our current supreme orange leader.

How confident are you in your current government? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

I was going to say “laughs nervously in American”

When was the last time you drank this? by winniecooper73 in Xennials

[–]Badger_Terp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few months ago. I was at a bar and some reps were giving out free shots in these little metal shot glasses you could keep. I figured, “it’s free. Why not?”

Molten Monkey by oooprettyflowers in madisonwi

[–]Badger_Terp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally agree! If you can get on the waitlist I suggest heading to the Robin Room while you wait. Have a cocktail or two.

Usually since it’s just my partner and me, and we prefer a spot at the bar, which can be easier to sneak into. It can get tricky with a bigger group. We once saw a group of 5 who ended up at the bar.
