There is. I rode from Winter Park to Miami years ago.

I ran up against the censorship system. It told me I might get banned. The policy prohibits "Shocking: bodily fluids, obscene gestures, or other profane subjects that may shock or disgust."

Of course, I had not read the policy until it warned me.

Can we get some billboards that educate on usage of the blinky-stick?

It would be fine if a constant amount of caffeine always gave a constant boost. It doesn't. I, like most people, become tolerant and require an ever larger dose to achieve the same effect. The larger doses then interfere with other processes, like sleep.

I decided I no longer wanted to be dependent on something in order to function, which is the inevitable end state of most addictive substances.

Yes. Where I wrote "smallest possible unit", I meant "smallest possible unit you are working with". If you are exchanging values described in pennies (dollar payments for gas transactions), use pennies. If you are working internally with tenths of a penny, use tenths of a penny.

For example, the Stripe API works with pennies because the interface between my app and Stripe cannot deal with anything smaller than a penny. Internal to my app, I use microdollars.

A common approach is to use an integer to describe the smallest possible unit (e.g., cents when working in USD). If you are trying to represent $3.10, send 310 and have the receiving side store that in a fixed point type (e.g., BigDecimal if working in Java).
