I saw this plow disk cooker at the Diamond Springs Labor Day Bazaar at Charlotte's Bakery & Cafe. Mounted on a 60,000 BTU propane burner, the pan appeared to be a homemade. It's a cross between the shallow chef's sautee pan and a cast iron skillet.
The cooker was constructed to sit securely on the burner. The last thing you want is to accidently dump hot oil onto the burner. It looks like the cooker was made from of a discarded plow disk. The plow disk cooker can be used as a wok, heavy skillet or pan fryer.
Fire of Earth. Landed knight, farmer. Harvest. Steward of the earth/material. "Fighting" with tangible wealth as the primary "weapon". Grounded. If moved to anger, volcano & scorched earth.
(I actually know which cards I intend for 2015, but, Mom died, my landlords sold my place, I had to move myself, and we're still sorting out her estate. I'll get to 2015's cards, eventually.)
Mom loved Austen, which led to me watching Pride & Prejudice when it very timely turned up on Netflix. Mom would've liked a Darcy Valentine.
He seems to me a Knight of Disks.
Images:
Darcy on horseback. A photo of an actual horse. Filters include: an HTDA image & tree roots grown around a Buddha, both from previous cards; a new fordite image (since modern Darcy archetypes would be into cars). Assorted images of the peak district & Chatsworth (i.e. Pemberley), including the hedge maze & art installations, to help form the shield base for my "Chokkomon" disk design. I even tried to find images of stags that live near Chatsworth, but none had antlers close to a decent angle.
The Antlers actually go with the traditional depiction of the card (a very earth-bound, staid interpretation of the Green Man). It's not just the long running joke (among #amnin friends) of putting antlers on things.
Light source is by sunlight (in the room with a board to block the sunlight）

Mit diesem Adaptor ist die Verwendung des Sony Memory Stick in den Sony Mavica Cameras möglich. Das ergibt gegenüber der Speicherkapazität einer Floppy Disk eine enorme Steigerung! Der Memory Stick / Floppy Disk Adaptor ist jedoch nur mit Memory Sticks bis 128 MB kompatibel.
With this Adaptor the use of the Sony Memory Stick is possible in the Sony Mavica Cameras. This proves compared with the storage capacity of a floppy disk a huge increase! Nevertheless, the Memory Stick / floppy disk Adaptor is compatible only with Memory Sticks to 128 MB.
A row of removable disk packs. I don't know the storage capacity of these, but it would be small compared with what we use today!

===============================
"Eine Diskette ist ein magnetischer Datenträger, der zur Datenspeicherung verwendet wird. Sie besteht aus einer flexiblen Kunststoffscheibe – daher die englische Bezeichnung „floppy disk“ oder kurz „Floppy“, was deutsch ungefähr mit „wabbelige Scheibe“ zu übersetzen wäre. Diese Scheibe ist mit einem magnetisierbaren Material, meistens Eisenoxid, beschichtet. Zum Schutz ist sie meistens in einem Kunststoffgehäuse (früher Pappe) verpackt, das je nach Diskettentyp entweder ebenfalls biegsam oder starr ist.
Im Unterschied zu Festplatten schleift der Schreib-/Lesekopf bei Disketten direkt auf der beschichteten magnetisierbaren Oberfläche, was mit der Zeit zu deutlichem Abrieb führt und die dauerhafte Verwendbarkeit von Disketten stark einschränkt.
Außerdem schleift auch die Magnetscheibe direkt an der umgebenden, fest im Laufwerk liegenden Hülle. Daher wird diese Hülle auf der Innenseite mit Teflon-beschichtetem (oder ähnlichem) Gewebe ausgestattet, um die Reibung zu minimieren." Quelle und weitere Informationen: Wikipedia: Diskette

The first serial produced car from Brno, marketed as a "open torpedo for four persons". The engine is original, interesting is the friction gearbox with coupled clutch/gear shift control.
Ubiquitous from decades ago, I found this unopened America OnLine installation disk. These became a bit of a joke among new techies as one might brag that they got started with, say, hundreds of "free" hours while another techie might boast of 1000 or more "free" hours. Back then, most of us had dial-up internet.
This disk is in a metal tin that was mailed out to "Current Resident" at assorted addresses at the time. The back of the tin includes comments like, "AOL's easiest and best version yet!" and "Now! Improved" and "No Credit Card Required!"
A view of the disk platters for this ICL disk drive. The entire unit is capable of storing 80MB of data.
A lab, with lots of boxes and random materials all over the place. Note how the open drawer contains a single floppy disk. The R on the trash can indicates that it is to be used for radioactive or otherwise dangerous waste.
