Yes, almost all the icons are based on physical tools. The dodge tool looked like one of those things eye doctors have you hold over one eye while reading the chart. A burn tool is usually just a piece of cardboard with a hole in the middle. The idea with both was to control print exposure over small portions of an image to adjust contrast when projecting negatives onto the print media.

Your water bill is about to go up. PFAS testing is currently one of my water system's most expensive tests. A state program that we participate in is dramatically increasing fees because PFAS testing requirements would bankrupt the fund. My system has shown no indications of PFAS contamination, so we're in the clear for treatment and remediation. I would be terrified of the potential cost if I had to start treating for this new contaminant.

I'm skeptical of this explanation. Why would the NYSE allow the market to go live with a backup DR system active? Seems like there should be some circuit breakers to automate taking these systems offline before production data is introduced. I'm terrified that the reality holding together our financial markets relies on manual processes.
