  Can anyone else make a click-ish noise in their ear?

  This process is what allows you to equalize the pressure in your inner-ear cavity with that outside. This is why you need to do it when you ride a fast elevator. This is also why @Evegrimm’s scuba instructor wanted her to do so – in SCUBA, if you can’t get a pop, it can be dangerous because it’s a real lot of pressure down there, and you can burst an eardrum. When you have an infection, the swelling or mucus can cause the necessary channel to close up, making the pressure exchange impossible

  When will olives be ripe in Northern California?

  You can use lye to cure them quickly, but if you’re patient, they can be cured beautifully either packed dry in salt or soaked in a salt brine for several months. Worth trying if you have olives.

  How many people die at Burning Man each year?

  Burning man used to be a lot more dangerous than it is now. There were a lot of firearms and you were allowed to drive your car around the playa. In 1996, 3 people were killed when a car hit a tent on the open playa. Other than that, it’s a suicide every few years, occasional falls and overdoses. There’s a strong ethic at burning man of “radical self-reliance.” No one is going to take care of you. Don’t run into the fire. Don’t climb a 60 ft sculpture on drugs. Don’t do anything stupid. And if you do, it’s your own ass.

  Cornwall, is it part of England or a country in it's own right?

  @Jack79…While I like the Alaska/Hawaii reference, it seems to me that the native population in the lower 48 are also “not your average American” ... it’s just that they got massacred a longer time ago.
