[NYC] UPDATES: Apple Cup Watch Party at Stout Bryant Park

Join us at Stout Bryant Park (109 W 39th St) for all Husky games this season, starting with the Apple Cup on Sunday 9/6. We'll have lots of fun UW swag and even door prizes.

There'll be a table just to the right of the host stand when you walk in with UW swag and raffle tickets 30 minutes before the game starts, so come say hi and grab some gear. If you’re coming alone or just want to meet other Huskies, come hang out with us!

Tell your friends, tell your family, tell random people on the street. If we can get a big crowd, we’ll have more influence to ask the alumni association for even better stuff in the future, maybe even catering for one of the games like the DC Dawgs get for the Apple Cup.

Plus, I can rub it in the other bar's face that passed on us so they could become the 10th Rutgers bar.

And if you’re coming alone, seriously, come hang out at the swag table. There’ll be a few of us there. And by a few, I mean at least two.

Go Dawgs!

I did not give up hope 190BW @445lbs

Unlike the 440 attempt I posted, I definitely hit depth on this one. This might honestly be the ugliest squat I’ve ever done, haha. I know the weight ain't much, but a W is a W.

[NYC] Manhattan Watch Bar Updates @ Stout Bryant Park

Hey y’all! After some final deliberations, it looks like Stout is going to be our watch bar for the season. UWAA is sending me some swag and other stuff for the watch party, though I don’t know exactly what’s coming yet. Maybe some free stuff for y’all, we will have to see.

Make sure to come out and invite your friends! We need a strong showing so they don’t push us up to the mezzanine again this year. See y'all in 2 weeks, and Go Dawgs!

[NYC] Final Hail Mary for a Manhattan Watch Bar

Hey y'all, I've been working to try to secure a watch bar for this season, but negotiations appear to have gone south. With the season in 2 weeks, it would be great if we could lock something down so we're not stuck watching at home. Does anyone know some great sports bars, preferably in midtown or at least off multiple train lines, that might be interested in officially hosting us? We could easily sell out for our big games.

We'd need a spot with a lot of TVs, big enough space for a big turnout, and individual tabs instead of a group reservation. We don't want to reserve the place. It would be open to anyone. All we'd ask in return is to play the game with audio and hang banners and other swag. The bar would be promoted on the alumni association's website and emails. We're especially interested in somewhere that isn't already affiliated with another school. Any suggestions or connections to bar managers/owners would be greatly appreciated! Go Dawgs!

27M >$2.2M net worth with 97% concentrated in Nvidia. How would you diversify without regretting it?

I'm 27 with a >$2.2M net worth, about 97% of which is in Nvidia due to long-term appreciation rather than intentional allocation. I've been holding since January 2016, with a few small sell-offs along the way.

People have been telling me to diversify for years, but the reason my portfolio is worth this much today is because I ignored that advice. That's made it psychologically very difficult to sell, especially when the company has continued to execute so well.

Logically, I know having ~97% of my portfolio in a single stock is an enormous concentration risk. Emotionally, it's hard to sell something that has completely changed my financial life. I'm still young, single, have a solid income, contribute to my 401(k) and Roth IRA, and don't need to access the money anytime soon.

I'm meeting with my financial advisor, but I'd also like to hear from people who have actually managed highly concentrated positions. How did you think about diversification, taxes, and balancing future upside versus concentration risk? Looking back, would you have done anything differently?

Edit: Wow, this has really blown up. Thanks for all the advice, everyone. It's a lot to take in. I'm going to do my best to read all of the comments, though I can't promise I'll respond to everyone. I'll definitely take the feedback into account and discuss it with my financial advisor.

Depth Check on 440lb PR

I'm told I hit depth, but I'm not convinced. The angle's bad so it's hard to see the hip crease. Y'all think this would count in a meet?

Where can I find an air-conditioned BJJ gym in Manhattan?

I’m going around dropping into gyms and want to train on Thursday, but it’s going to be over 100 and I run hot. I already struggle to get through a 30min rolling session purely from overheating. The fans just aren't cutting it.

Anyone know of any BJJ gyms with A/C? I live and work in Manhattan, so it would be difficult to get to other boroughs, though I could do LIC if it’s off a subway.

An affordable drop in fee would be a bonus.

Do y'all think NY-12 is still going to be close?

Turnout in NY-12 seems hard to read right now. From what I’ve seen/heard, younger voter turnout and parts of the UES may be softer than expected, while older voters seem more engaged. The AARP poll also suggested older voters were more favorable to Micah, though that was specifically a 50+ sample.

UWS seems to be getting a lot of attention, but I’m curious how much the rest of the district; Midtown, Murray Hill, Gramercy, StuyTown, etc. ends up mattering today.

The rain may also lower turnout, though I’m not sure which voters that hurts most.

At the same time, Alex's campaign and volunteers seem to have been very visible on the ground, and I wouldn't be surprised if they netted in the triple digits of the undecideds, so I’m not sure how much the public polling or betting markets actually capture.

Do people here think this is still anyone’s race, or is Micah the clear favorite at this point?

Does the NY-12 race actually feel close?

It's the last day of early voting, the last public poll (excluding AARP) came out a month ago, and the race feels hard to read from the outside. For people following it closely or living in the district, what’s your read on who is leading going into Election Day?

I’ve noticed a pretty visible Alex and Micah volunteer presence around poll sites and in local discussions, though I’ve personally been seeing more Alex volunteers than Micah volunteers. Curious if others are seeing the same thing or if it’s just my area.

Do people have a sense of who’s actually ahead?
