I always hear people say Melbourne is mega hipster.

They wouldn't be wrong for the most part. Gluten free vegan milkshakes are everywhere :-?

I've actually seen steaks in the grocery store marked Gluten Free. :lol:
Everyone remember when you go steak shopping demand that the store only sells you gluten free steak.

I don’t get the joke, do you not want to know when a steak might have gluten ingredients?

A steak doesn't have Gluten. Maybe if it's breaded.

Or if the meat is washed at a facility that processes meats(which can contain gluten), or if it has marinades that use ingredients like soy. Pretty common sense stuff if you eat steak. Do you think people shouldn’t know when those meats are processed or prepared in ways that contain gluten? Or is that just a hipster thing?

Steak does not have gluten. Simple as that. If you want to get into minutia about how it might have gluten added I'll leave that to you.

Imagine having to strawman the world to justify being mad. Nobody said raw unprocessed unseasoned steak has gluten. People want the label so they know if gluten ingredients are used in meat packing facilities or if the processing has gluten. Kind of like it is important for people who are allergic to nuts to know if their food is even processed in the same facility as nuts. Fruit by itself doesn't have chemicals in it, but I’d bet you would like to know when it’s sprayed or coated with chemicals. Like why are you making yourself mad over something nobody is even saying.

Steak doesn't have gluten. You can hang on to your minutia if you want. Gluten free steak doesn't make me mad it makes me laugh. I've never heard of a minute amount of gluten making somebody go into shock and die. Maybe there is somebody like that. Better to advertise the opposite. Even though steak is gluten free this steak was processed in such a way that it might have trace amounts of gluten. I'm done with glutengate. I think you should start a campaign requiring all steak to be gluten free or at least advertise if there is such a possibility.

So brutal. It hurts thinking that KAT won't be a part of whatever is to come. I like Julius and Dante and Le Berricade. Maybe we are better due to the trade, but it still feels wrong.

Yes, it does not seem right that KAT is gone. I understand all the reasons why, but there is still a KAT sized hole in my fandom.

I don't think we are better without Towns. Should had keep building around Ant and Towns. The salary cap will be difficult but not impossible.

I'm not really sure if we're better due to the trade or not. Last year we probably would have been better without the trade. Julius is still a fringe all star, DDV was OK last year, but if he returns to form that will be big and just how good will Le Berricade be. We might be better eventually.

It was possible when Ant and Towns had rookie and baby max contracts.

KAT making 3rd team All NBA for a second time and becoming eligible and expecting the SuperMax ruined any chance of building a complete team around KAT and Ant. It kinda sucks that a stupid voted on honor has that big of salary cap ramifications, but I guess the CBA needs to do something to distinguish who is elite enough to qualify.
