Things I learned lately 21 Apr

• It's not just living spaces in Hong Kong that are expensive — a car space in Kowloon City district was just rented out for HK$10,000 (US$1,274) a month, making it the city's most expensive rented car park. Property agents confirmed the 135 sq ft park was rented on Monday in the residential Ho Man Tin area.
• At Home Depot, check the price for a hint about whether an item will be marked down again. If a clearance item's price ends in .06, the price will drop one more time, and if the price ends in .03, that means it's the lowest price possible.
• Uber just bought a company (Jump) that rents out electric bikes at a rate of $2 per 30 minutes. They only operate in DC and SF for now.
• Some rules NFL cheerleaders (on various teams) have to abide by: no fraternizing with the players (not even social media contact); have to leave stadium wearing outfit; maintain a certain weight; no wearing sweatpants in public; turn off GPS tracking on phones.
• When two dead stars smashed together, as was observed in October 2017, the event threw off a very large quantity of neutrons that almost immediately decayed into lighter elements. Astronomers predict that this formed 50 Earth masses of silver, 100 Earth masses of gold and 500 Earth masses of platinum.
• If you search for solitaire, you can play the game.
• The world's biggest hotel, by number of rooms, is the First World Hotel and Plaza in Genting Highlands, Malaysia.
