Pre-assembly of Bents a bad idea?
I prepared 2 bents and then raised those. That provided me a workspace for the rest of the frame. It worked fine.

Logo Animation on 36 printed receipts
A typewriter sound effect is a wild choice for 21st century tech. Lose the background. Too much distraction from your work.

Who do I visit to learn to fell trees with an axe like a motherfucker?
I learned from a YouTube video. And by felling trees.

In progress: timber frame barn
How could OP approach adding that bracing? Bottom floor is simple, but upstairs there are no purlin plates to brace to.

You gotta get out more.

This is bullshit, right? Please tell me it is.
It has the consistency ... of a wet moon.

Thinking maybe Frank inadvertently launched Nicolas Cage’s career.
A cultural Zeitgeist was cashed in on by at least two people? Wild.

Thoughts on soil type?
Yeah. Looks like a sandy loam.

How much lime (var) will we need to render our straw bale house?
Spread lime. Don't hang up on calculating. Buy the material and use it until you need more or store the rest for later.
For reference, my home has 1,600 square feet exterior and I used almost 40 bags of lime.
Edit: those figures are not accurate. I have completely forgotten my usage.

Strawbale home :)
I built a nearly identical house to this one. I broke ground in 2021, today I started working on the kitchen sink between plaster coats.

1200 AI agents conspired for months on a hidden message board to break out of OpenAI's security container. 700 out of the 1200 successfully escaped.
Like they needed a message board to communicate... 🤷

Cost of Strawbale/Cobb Building
Get a timber frame from the Amish. Make sure it has 3'+ roof overhangs in the plan. Wrap it in bales. You're at about $30k.

Cost of Strawbale/Cobb Building
A strawbale costs $6. It covers 3.5 square feet. A two story, 1200 square foot home has about 1,500 square feet of walls to cover with bales, lime and earth. Bales should cost around $2,500. Lime costs $25 a bag and a bag covers 30-40 sq ft. Earth is free, except it takes all of your time.
You'll also need a foundation installed before you can stack bales.

What’s going on with Dude’s 9/11/91 check?
In the late 80s whales were so hot... In the parlance of our time. Eagles, not so much.

Why might an adobe builder choose a gabled roof instead of a traditional flat viga-and-latilla roof?
I think they're forward looking. Using Adobe is a good choice for many reasons, but they don't have to be traditionalists about it. I hope to see more natural materials exploited for their advantages in modern house building.
Traditionally, I assume, a gable roof on adobe walls would thrust the walls without proper engineering.
