I hope to see it reach 10% within my lifetime

No more stable than any other Gulf countries. But they aren’t involved in any proxy wars and always maintained friendly relations with everyone including Iran.

Nowhere as much as Qatar or Saudi Arabia, yet they aren’t on the list. UAE should be higher up than Oman too but it isn’t.

Perhaps what helps Oman are other things besides oil and gas revenues. Perhaps their lush greenery and ancient frankincense trees.

What about the white peoples of the Middle East and North Africa?

Oh wait, you banned them, even if they were Christians.

Landlords can always charge more. The government needs to under cut them by providing affordable public housing with affordable rent or financing.

The government is obligated to provide public housing, they don’t even have to be free, just sensibly priced.

Windows 11 does report its version number as 10. The latest release of Windows 11 is 10.0.22631.3374 but I don't know enough to say it is just a reskinning of Windows 10.

Technically both are 10, but I do like the new UI on 11.

I must be in the minority that actually prefers 11 to 10

I'd rather buy a BYD on the low end or a Lucid on the high end, with many of far more interesting EVs all across the range. Not to even get to him as a person which is unappealing.

 
 

Those strikes come with a significant price tag. In some cases, U.S. forces have used Tomahawk missiles, which can cost about $2 million each. But even beyond the costs themselves, analysts warn that the U.S. is quickly depleting its weapons stockpiles, which were already running thin after years of military support for Ukraine in its war with Russia.

“The price of the munitions themselves may be pennies to the Pentagon financially, but using so many of them amounts to a significant blow to our actual stockpiles of these weapons,” said Mr. DiMino, the Defense Priorities analyst. “By some estimates, the Navy has already used more than a year’s worth of [Tomahawk missile] production in Yemen. It takes time to build these things. So, the costs are not just sticker price. It can set back our production by years in some cases.”
