Not defending ai at all or anything but why is M = 1000 in this case, when K is usually 1000?

Like I would assume 1KCF would be 1000CF and 1MCF would be 1,000,000CF

The Roman numeral M=1,000. Greek kilo (K)=1,000. The only plausible explanation is the local sewer district is run by Romans.

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?!

Afterall, they're called aquaducts, not hydroducts

I go through my tabs weekly on mobile and close any not related to things I'm actively looking at, so it goes down to 3-6 tabs after every clean. It's been 4 days and my tab count is just showing the ∞ it does when you go over 99

Biggest number I've heard is 500 on someone's ipad.
