comment Why does every countable limit ordinal have cofinality $\omega$?
By definition, a map from the least ordinal.

comment Why does every countable limit ordinal have cofinality $\omega$?
Cofinality is always a regular cardinal.

comment Powers of infinite cardinals in the generic extension
nope, but it doesn't really matter as we count all options (worst case is if it is 1-1).

comment Linearly ordered sets “somewhat similar” to $\mathbb{Q}$
@JDH - in the definition of $\mathcal{Q}_A$, shouldn't we use $\cap$? also, how does it select just one element from $(0,\alpha)$?

comment Powers of infinite cardinals in the generic extension
a small typo - it should be $\kappa \le 2^\omega$ in the last claim.

comment How badly can GCH fail?
As mentioned below, for regular cardinals ZFC cannot put a limit. Regarding singular cardinals Shelah's PCF theory gives a definite bound.

comment A question on non-standard ordinals in $\alpha-$recursion
This is lemma II 7.1 in K. Devlin "Constructibility".

comment A question on a set theoretic theorem
Brian, your example refers to successor cardinals, but for limit cardinals it might hold, e.g. a weakly compact cardinal.

comment Subset of a P-ideal need not be a P-ideal
If you allow higher cardinals, then a weakly compact cardinal has this property.

comment A question on almost disjoint collection
For a regular cardinal $\kappa$, by a result of Ulam, it is a disjoint union of $\kappa$ stationary sets. For singular cardinals, use the same argument but on the cofinality $\kappa$.

comment structure in context of ultraproduct
Small typo - in your definition of $F_U$ you should change to "for almost all i".
