I'm just trying to get my anti-Ai art out into the world and now Shopify wants to funnel my work through chatGPT.
There should be a way to turn this off by January 26th. I'm so tired of this.

In order for Calgary's water supply to be sustainable until the Bearspaw feeder main comes back online, total daily Megalitre usage needs to be below 485 ML.
Right now the Glenmore Reservoir volume is dropping daily because consumption outstrips the very small inflow.

There was a machine in the front of the grocery store which you could use to test the vacuum tubes from your TV to see if they still worked. It was usually right next to the cigarette vending machine.
