...Or because lack of ventilation in habitations is historically dangerous? Today you could build a windowless apartment that would be perfectly livable, though it would need relatively high-end features. In the early 20th century or similar, you pretty much couldn't.

In a house a bedroom is required to have two exits to be considered a bedroom in at least a couple of states. One of those can be a window. Fire safety code.

For the record, in Sweden, you can't legally call a room without a window a living space. There MUST be a window so that daylight (very important for those of us closer to the ends of the planet) can be accessed. I don't find it controversial that this would be a requirement for children in the US as well.

I thought fire code would be an issue too, but also thought of high-rises where exiting through the window offers no real escape and hesitated...
That's why bedrooms have fire escapes if it has a window and it's not first story.
I'm thinking of cases I am pretty sure don't...
But as previously noted fire codes vary.
Yeah, I only learned this in the DC area. So for all I know New York or something doesn't have that particular rule. Anyway, it's entirely possible that the reason the room was a problem was fire safety codes, the legal definition of a bedroom in the state or it being too close to the prisoner cells. Possibly a combination of the things.
Sounds like a bit of a lowball. 💀

Well, with all his Asura's Wrath powers, if you have Netflix you might want to watch a couple episodes of Dharmakshetra as well.
Which is why I found it fascinating all the discussion going on about Emma's legal troubles and how severe they might be. She'd best hope that the legal consequences will be severe enough that the angry god will be satisfied, because otherwise things might get real nasty for her...

Oh hey, and Brockton Bay PRT still leaks like a sieve. Five nonexistent internet bucks on the outcome that Coil is going to eagerly press the big red button on said nuclear device, fully expecting that Piggot and her PRT administration all gets nuked to oblivion, open to him walking in and take over with no resistance. With him
This is going to end in tears, massive destruction, Noelle getting loose, and chapters / RL months of plot slowing to a crawl. Let's just hope all this is after Slaughterhouse 9 gets removed, otherwise there's going to be a (even bigger) pileup of plotlines.

To be fair to the ENE, they know they are leaking. It's likely they will adopt the same stance they did for Garment : nothing on record, only in-person briefing.
I hope everything will collide, plot train crash are so entertaining.
...but sadly police investigation take time.

Okay.
One, even if Piggo put 2 and 2 together and reasoned out that Taylor is most likely Kep, would she even write it down on a paper, even less leave it in a system that she is knows is compromised by half the gangs? I doubt she would even tell anyone about it. Even if we canon event this, the only (or at least the biggest) reason Director People-Hate-Me-Because-I-Didn't-Go-Along-With-Taylor's-Garbage went for Taylor's captur as a civvie was because he thought Dinah's predictions was a 100% thing, and Piggot have enough stuff on her plate to want to do something about Kep I would think.
And two, may be just guffing gasoline, but wasn't Taylor protected against her identity being sussed out via Joe's curse? Or was it just for Joe that it worked?.... Or did I just imagine he put on a curse against having his civvie identity figured out? Lack of sleep had been doing WONDERS to my memory tbh...

True. I would say that Piggot doesn't really have much motivation to basically intentionally out Taylor. I could see her still logging the information because, one I don't think she would care that much. And two she seems to have a bit of an overconfidence problem so I can see her thinking that the leaks have been plugged. I would say it's really down to author interpretation.
I do not believe that Joe has cursed knowledge of anyone's identity other than his own. He did talk about what he did protected Taylor but that was protecting her from the consequences of him getting outed.
Cops can move at ludicrous speed when sufficiently motivated. The problem is that only cop killers and interdepartmental bullying seem to be sufficient motivation these days.

To be fair, the reason why the cops are moving fast is because cops were killed. Specifically, Bakuda killed a lot of cops in her bombing spree, that Piggot did not warn the cops about even though she had advance warning from Apeiron.
Also, the PRT stole their cases before, with an example being the locker incident (which the PRT did basically nothing with), so, this is spite against Piggot because she got cops killed/messed with their jobs.

Any New Hampshirites to clarify the relevant state fire codes?
BCF in a nutshell, come for the OP jumpchain crafting powers, stay for the worldbuilding and characterisation.
"The egress window is required when the building lacks an automatic sprinkler system or a door remote from the primary means of escape."

Nah, Joe is going to tell Danny about this great lawyer he talked to at the gala.
Then he's going to meet her at the college, where a certain Ms. Rani is going to spot them together, come to entirely the wrong conclusion, and make her play even harder. 😇
Meanwhile, what would happen if Noelle came into contact with a cybertonium protomatter from emulating biology? Nothing? A "clone" of the emulated form? An actual duplicate?

You mean Survey body ? Joe used Weld payement of a part of his body to give the same manton favouable property to his AI. Noelle can't duplicate them.

Pretty much the only person Noelle can feasibly clone in the Celestial Forge is Aisha. The rest are either robots, literally and/or figuratively alien (Tetra/Garment), or literally impossible to catch unawares (Joe/Tybalt). And unaware, that's the crucial element here. If Aisha is able to see her coming then Noelle stands no chance at all, and that's even assuming that her armor doesn't automatically protect her fast enough to keep any physical contact from happening.
Her armor is fully sealed. So no physical contact, directly at least. I forgot what it's made of.
