What is it with me & idiots on other forums?

Some guy from Spain on the Palm Society forum tried telling me, (being all condescending & calling me mate too), Malta didn't have a zone 11a climate, because the record low was 1.2C When he was corrected that it was worked out from average absolute minimums he then said it was still only a 10a climate at best as he had seen on Accuweather that it regularly drops to 0C When he was corrected about that, he then started claiming southern Spain was now 11a & that it had never gone below freezing in the "Costa Tropical" & even Valencia hadn't had a frost for over 50 years & it rarely drops below 8C When I corrected him on some of that he accused me of initiating a so called "climate battle", telling me a foreignor shouldn't pretend to know about another countries climate, when the friggin idiot did that himself about Malta

I need a drink...

the probability of contracting HIV from non-sexual contacts must be close to zero. well, unless you're born to a mother with HIV, but even then the risk is only 25%.

You don't get HIV from eating sperm either. HIV does not survive for long outside of the body, and the mouth is not an effective route of transmission for HIV into the bloodstream. There is also the fact that most people are not HIV positive.

You're fine. Stop worrying. If you went to the doctors and asked for an HIV test because you think your McMuffin had sperm on it, they'd laugh in your face. HIV is not transmitted in this way at all, and no such occurrences have been documented.

heck, even if you inject quantities of HIV-blood straight into the blood stream, the probability of contracting it is around 1%.

HIV & AIDS Information :: Injecting drug use - Why is injecting drug use a risk for HIV transmission?

If you have sperm on your McMuffin then it isn't your fault!

I've went through the same thing on a different board, some random person tried to tell me that I didn't live in zone 7b because lower temps have occurred. That's not how it works.
