You know how sometimes you stumble across someone who just seems to have everything figured out? That's exactly what happened when I started noticing how Australian McDonald's customers approach their dessert orders. These folks have cracked a code that goes way beyond just knowing what's on the menu—they've figured out how to work the system to get exactly what they want, when they want it.

When major tech companies start throwing around 70% discounts like confetti at a parade, you know something big is happening. The federal government, typically about as quick to embrace new technology as a turtle climbing Mount Everest, suddenly finds itself in the middle of an AI gold rush. Google is slashing 71% off its Workspace suite, OpenAI is practically giving away ChatGPT Enterprise for a symbolic $1 per agency, and Oracle is cutting 75% off its database software.

As unappealing as it sounds, transplants with fecal material from healthy donors help treat tough Clostridium difficile gastrointestinal infections. Researchers credit the treatment's success to its ability to restore a healthy bacterial balance to the bowels, and new research has shown that the transplanted bacteria doesn't just do its job and leave. The good fecal bacteria and its benefits can persist for years.

It's odd to see grown humans attempting to bounce off walls doing parkour. It's another thing altogether to see a robot doing it.

The private automobile has been an intrinsic part of our lives for around a hundred years. But over the last decade, car sharing has gained a very small but growing part of the mobility market. The more recent rise of companies like Uber and Lyft is witness to a more dramatic shift in mobility and car ownership. Private vehicle ownership to a transportation-as-a-service model has already started, and high capability SAE Level 4 vehicles will complete this trend.
