They’re all the same species, Acinonyx jubatus. Just different subspecies (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus and Acinonyx jubatus venaticus) and genetic studies show a separation of only 32,000 and 67,000 years between the Asiatic subspecies and African subspecies.

>Singapore’s Changi has regained its title as the world’s best airport, after losing its long-held crown to Qatar for two years running during the height of pandemic travel restrictions.
The Asian hub edged Doha’s Hamad International Airport into second place, with Tokyo’s Haneda Airport bagging third, in the Skytrax World Airport Awards 2023. The U.S. was conspicuous by its absence in the top 10.
“Changi Airport is honored to be named World’s Best Airport for the twelfth time,” said Lee Seow Hiang, Chief Executive Officer for Changi Airport Group. “This recognition is great encouragement to our airport community, who stood firmly together to battle the challenges of Covid-19 over the past two years.”
The Skytrax World Airport Awards are determined by customer satisfaction survey.
These are the World’s Best Airports of 2023, along with their 2022 rankings:
Singapore Changi (3)
Doha Hamad (1)
Tokyo Haneda (2)
Seoul Incheon (5)
Paris Charles de Galle (6)
Istanbul (8)
Munich (7)
Zurich (9)
Tokyo Narita (4)
Madrid Barajas (16)
Vienna (19)
Helsinki-Vantaa (11)
Rome Fiumicino (24)
Copenhagen (17)
Kansai (10)

One question. Where is that 1 million going to go? Into the bank or a huge safe in her house?

The Asiatic cheetah, the animal that originally existed in the area, is still locally extinct. They still exist, mostly in Iran. These are African cheetahs. Take this how you will, I personally see it as introduction of an invasive species.

They were extinct in India specifically. They still existed elsewhere. A species can be locally extinct or extinct in the wild while still technically existing

TIL about this leopard species and that it is distinct from the snow leopard (which is not really a leopard). Big cats are just so fascinating.

There is no victory in this. 😑
I agree, we cannot compare India to the US. We have different cultures, different demographics, huge population differences.
This is a shit flinging competition where both sides try to argue in bad faith. I'm confident that I can drag you off your moral high ground, if you want.

Good at least we agree on the basic premise. Now don't try to be so inflammatory next time. Anyone can play the Asshole game.

People without impulse control. There's a psychological reason behind why it works with physical money. Since you see how much you spend and how much you have left, you are more likely to think about purchases before making them. It also takes self discipline or an accountability partner.

Meh as long as you avoid politics and religion this place is pretty chill, almost boring actually.
You got to admit the flamewars back in the forum days were excellent popcorn material.
