This mirrors my experience with my 2017 Prius Prime. On the rare occasion when I activate gas mode (e.g., for long trips) it gets 50 mpg no problem. Otherwise it’s an electric car and the gas engine is completely shut down.

During COVID lockdowns, we were driving a lot less. We got a warning message that we needed to burn at least 5 gallons of gas each year to keep it from going stale. So we drove it exclusively in gas mode for a while, then went right back to not caring about gas prices at all.

Edit: it may be necessary for states to establish their own militaries, completely separate from the Federal government.

The National Guard is already a thing. I don’t think it’s working out like you hoped.

Why would they name it “Visio”? That is already the name of a different Microsoft product.

This is just for city of Los Angeles, which is a small portion of Los Angeles county, let alone the entire state of California.

NVR = Network Video Recorder. It’s the box that has the hard drive(s) to record all the video streams coming in from the cameras over WiFi or Ethernet.

I have a Reolink setup that’s entirely air-gapped. No app required, just configure everything through the NVR unit.

To be a completely fair comparison, you should give your baby access to nuclear weapons.
