I had this before, I would tell them your situation. It's better they hear it from you than find via the background check
For sure. I have had 2 big co-ops since the conviction and obviously both places were not worried about it. It was never brought up in my interviews so I wasn't going to bring it up randomly. Neither job included any travel, though. It's a college grad job and I will willingly use my own car.. I'm just worried they will say something like.. "We can't insure you for a company or rental car, so we can't hire you." The travel will be local, with 1 international trip a year. Stuff like that happens right? Or am I worrying too much? I was recruited and only had to fill out a very basic application, so this is the first time I had to write anything about convictions. In my first interview HR even said don't worry about filling out references or anything like that since it was just a 1st round interview. So now that I have the official offer.. I disclosed everything on the form, but this is the first time they'll be seeing it. Their background check is very inclusive, up to 10 years. Rather than mail everything in, I'm going to drive up to drop everything off tomorrow and be upfront about it.

Hey yall!
I'm in a conundrum, looking for a little advice.
I just received an excellent job offer for a company I would die to work for.. but it's contingent on background check.
I got a DUI 3.5 years ago, and there's a little travel involved with the job, so I'm worried they might mark me as too much of a liability for insurance.
The thing is.. I need to relocate, and I am in desperate need of a new car. My car waterpump blew on the way to my last interview and I pushed it anyway so I wouldn't miss the interview. Thankfully it was 0ºF, no suspected damage to the engine. It was steaming and misfiring. I thought for sure the car was done for.
--
So, what if I sign on an apartment and worst case scenario, they rescind the offer 3 days before I start?
I'm handing in my paperwork to HR tomorrow. Should I bring the misdemeanor to her attention and ask for a confirmation whether everything checks out or not? I start in 2 weeks.

Economy / Economics / Using a nations $ fiat is passive support for all of its social & Econmic policy

Unless you are actively involved in politics, using a nation's fiat currency (the United States Dollar, for example) is passive support for its social and economic policies. Unfortunately, if you are a North American then merely voting in the ballot box simply doesn't qualify as "actively involved" (let's face it, the choices given between Republican and Democrat are mostly meaningless.) Much more important is, as the saying goes, "voting with your dollar." By using the dollar, you prop up the United States Federal Reserve, its Legislature, many American corporations that have twisted laws to their own benefit, and all of the greedy moneygrubbers on Capitol Hill that pass self-interested legislation.
For example: the United States has very punitive drug prohibition laws. These laws, which imprison people (citizens and foreigners alike) for drug possession, trafficking, sale, and manufacture, artificially inflate the prices of many drugs such that the profit potential is simply irresistible for people that are willing the break the law. Law enforcement officers arrest criminals, criminals go through the justice system, and criminals get put behind bars: all on the taxpayer dollar.
See where this is going? By using the dollar, you are passively participating in this entire system. Now, you could be very actively involved in politics and lobbying and grassroots organization... And if you are, then bravo. Much more likely, however, is that you are not. In that case, the most important way you vote is with your dollar.
Bitcoin allows you to decouple your everyday life from the tainted politics of the United States Dollar, freeing you from the Fed and allowing you to participate in a truly market-driven currency. Vote with your bitcoin--or vote with your cryptocurrency of choice if bitcoin isn't it. But please: consider the effects of lending your support for the dollar and consider weaning yourself from it, or else go get active in politics and try and change our odious laws.

Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Forget China woes, there's potentially an even bigger player India!!

India is in reality a sleeping giant. It has the largest middle class in the world, and an exceptionally gifted, intelligent and innovative young generation coming through.
At the moment India seems to be sitting on the fence with the concept of cryptocurrencies.
If doge was to get in through some charity work in India - either something similar like doge4water, or helping to improve the plight of the poor then the Indian community would sit up and take notice.
Importantly for the poor in India the movement of crypto through mobile phone apps rather than using a bank would work well in villages and small communities. No need to run around with wads of cash that could get lost or stolen.
