    This is one of the exactly 7 uses of a fax machine, I know, I have to fax shit all the time.

      I remember when I was younger I thought every fax machine had a tube in it that sucked the paper to its destination

        That's so much cooler! All correspondence should be transferred via pneumatic tube. They would obviously make super satisfying shoomp noises you just can't get with a boring ol fax machine

            If you know about how they work lay that knowledge on me, I'm actually super curious now. I got to see one in action at the drive thru lane for my bank once and witnessing thay was the most excited I'd been in a long time.

      I know we've had a few comrades talk about their struggles parenting before and I definitely don't mean them but... yeah.

        Ah I was just joking. The only known uses of a fax at this point are to send crap to DHS, social security, or to send medical records. That's it. The beaureaucrats won't let it die!!

      I know one of the other 7 is verifying a Volkswagon lease payoff with a non-Volkswagen dealer because they refuse to send them any other way so we just stopped taking VW leases

        Yep, sounds just about tedious enough to warrant a faxin'

        what-the-hell

      number one is just anything to do with medical records or doctors in general

      those motherfuckers love a fax. it's like the first technological advancement came along that would replace literally posting or having someone personally courier documents and they said "yep, this is the one"
