[Arx]

Welcome to 2010, Arx. Or was it '05? Somewhere back there. I'm still not there, m'self, but it's getting there slowly.

Theory of relative development: for each hundred kilometers away from Washington, subtract a year from your technological advancement.

Although I think it would be more accurate if one were to drag in log scales and such concepts.

[Rose]

I think you need to swap Washington with Scandinavia.

[Frumple]

Something like that, yes. The US's internet infrastructure is usually kinda' terrible, comparatively.

[Arx]

I'm probably a bad person to be talking about this, since as far as I'm concerned everything in the Northern hemisphere is "very far away". Thinking about it though, Scandinavia probably is better than Washington for that one.

Cuz nationalizing anything that could be privatized here is seen as a hop and a skip to totalitarianism.

We just visited some of the local colleges.

How good do your grades need to be to get a scholarship in Amurica? Do they need to be basically perfect, or what?

PANNUKAKKU

Without any context this came to mind. And tomorrow is pannukakku day.

[Dutchling]

PANNUKAKKU

...

Pannenkoeken :V?

Thinner version is called "ohukainen", it's "pannukakku" when it's at least as thick as your finger. Apply plenty of whipped cream and strawberry jam.

That only really counts for top top schools like Ivy League. A scholarship to a 'run of the mill' community college shouldn't require too much

[My Name is Immaterial]

How good do your grades need to be to get a scholarship in Amurica? Do they need to be basically perfect, or what?

Are you a middle-class, straight white male, without a child or any serious disabilities? Are you not in the military/ROTC? Are you not good enough at sports to play for a team? Are you not deeply religious nor planning on entering the priesthood? Do your parents not work for a major company with a scholarship program?
Excuse my cynicism, but as a person that just finished senior year and received no scholarships, I'm a little disillusioned.

[Karkov]

Also on the college thing, it's easier to get scholarships for being any ethnicity than white than it is to get a grades orientated scholarship.

Other than that, Honors Clubs seem interested in people with 3.6+ GPA and are willing to give scholarships if you join them, so that's an idea.
