  • The government knows who you are. They know your age, your address and know you exist (probably).

    You go to a site that requires ages verification. You say:please verify me with the government portal. You go to that portal to get a temporary id code to give to the site. The website says to the gov portal give me the name and age of the user with this temp ID. You approve that access. Portal sends age (or an is over 16/18/21 etc flag) to the site.

    • Gov portal doesn’t need to know who the site is.
    • You don’t provide a unique ID to the website, just a temporary one.
    • as if codes are temporary, you must have access to the id/login now, not just at some point
    • Site only gets the data you approve/it requested,.not everything.

    The process can do with some streamlining, but should work in practice?















  • The 20 mins meals are all pretty salty and meh, going beyond that is decent. I do it occasionally to force me out of my cooking comfort zone. It’s good as it lets you try things with ingredients you would never normally have.

    It has some plastic waste (was more than ‘normal’ cooking, but no where near others (Gusto is awful for waste). Some recipes are worse than others though.

    Don’t use it if your not getting a deal on it. If you quit they will offer you another discount.
