I loved the look of disgust he gives Edmure when he snatches the bow away to fire the flaming arrow at the Hoster's funeral boat because Edmure kept missing. He snatches it away, looks at the pennants to check for the wind, looses the arrow, then doesn't even watch it hit - he turns around and roughly gives it back to Edmure as he walks off.

One comment that I read was that a huge difficulty will be that trees are no longer available in that region that are as large as the ones originally used. Perhaps this will be a global restoration or alternative materials will be used.
I thought I saw something the other day about how they already had replacement timbers cut and stored for an event such as this, or for if/when those timbers eventually needed replacing, although my Google-fu can't seem to find anything about that at the moment.
I just read about Reims Cathedral and the restoration that went on when it got damaged so badly during WWI. The entire roof burned, and it was replaced with steel - maybe "restoring" Notre Dame de Paris to original spec isn't the best idea, but rather updating certain things with modern materials would be better.

In software, a "union" is a specific data type.
In the world of databases, "union" also represents two queries that join together to form a single data set.
As for English...

Based on various Facebook posts I've seen it looks like they have been selling off their showroom inventory.
That doesn't sound good. That sounds like they are liquidating the company. I wondered what was going to wind up happening when I'd heard that Zig had passed.
If that's the case, and they are liquidating the company, I'm bummed out, but for purely selfish reasons - I'd always hoped to acquire another CCF 925 flugelhorn like the one I'd had - lacquered with a 100% copper bell. I've already vowed that if I see one pop up on the used market that I'm going to snap it up. I wish I'd never sold mine.
