a rechargeable battery with only 1 charge cycle is considered "waste" ?

Embedded within a disposable vape, yes. Plenty of things that are reusable are waste. When someone finishes milk jug, most people throw it away and buy a new one instead of going to get it refilled. Pretty much everything thrown away could be used for something else.

That doesn't mean it's waste, that just means people are lazy and don't care about wasting things. It's only "waste" because people make it waste. If you don't waste it it's not waste.

It's not just laziness. It may not be financially worth it to do including the personal labor you have to do compared to throwing something in a trash can.

This is the mentality that is creating poison planet. Bad mentality.

As long as waste is being responsibly managed it will not poison the planet.

I'd love to be able to go to a grocer and just refill my milk jug and my soap bottle and my beer growler but that's just not available to me.

Well, there are a few breweries that will fill my growler. Priorities.

It is not being responsibly managed, it is poisoning the planet. You can defer responsibility to others such as the producers and recyclers, and I think we should.

But it doesn't mean we can't control what we buy and throw away as well, especially if we know better which we do.

And... its down already. It can only handle about 10 requests at a time, so take turns guys :) Here is the same article but with hopefully better uptime: https://bogdanthegeek.github.io/blog/projects/vapeserver/

Easy, just set up your other hoarded ones to make a mesh and do some distributed sharding in the vape cloud!

Is this The Cloud that I heard so much about?
