More generally, -ate itself means 'with oxygen'.

Carbonate = carbon + oxygen

Nitrate = nitrogen + oxygen

Phosphate = phosphorus + oxygen

There is apparently some nuance but it is a good rule to remember: https://chemistry.stackexchange.com/questions/32962/when-to-use-ate-and-ite-for-naming-oxyanions

I didn't realise it was possible to hate every side of an argument this strongly.

It was a few years back, but after it hit ChromeOS EOL I'm pretty sure it just got some KDE distro; I don't think I even used LXDE. Didn't need to do much.

I was mostly using it for web browsing, forums, spreadsheets, documentation etc. Nothing particularly strenuous.

I did have one really fun time of modifying PDF engineering drawings by opening them in Libre Office Draw which it handled kinda OK.

It did get a 240GB SSD but everything else was soldered.

A series of such massacres against one people approaches genocide.

It honestly seems like these are questions that don't need asking.

You've provided no context about what you like and don't like, so you won't get any kind of a personalised response.

What are you expecting to get out of asking this as a question, that you don't get by simply going to Rotten Tomatoes?

This would be a waste of commenters' time, and that's why it's being downvoted.

Steel is cheap. Copper, zinc, nickel, brass and especially silver are rather expensive.

Many world coins up to about 10-50c are steel plated copper or similar.

Most of the world considers it unacceptable to have a coin that costs more to manufacture than it is worth, let alone have just the raw materials cost that much. Smaller coins have often been simply removed.

In the US, on the other hand, apparently the zinc industry is able to force the continued expensive existence of the penny.

It's not clear, but I think they were referring to the version 1 Pi - the newer ones are much much much faster.

Being an SUV, it'll weigh 50% more than necessary. That outweighs almost any other sustainability considerations.

Musk said last week: “I disagree with the idea of unions. I just don’t like anything which creates a lords-and-peasants kind of thing.”

Isn't he the world's richest person currently?

“Spotify already pays nearly 70% of every dollar it generates from music to the record labels and publishers

Sounds like the issue might be with the record labels...
