It's not a question of opening size but a question of loading over the opening. No load, no lintel. If a 12 inch opening is capped with a 16" block, the block is the lintel. If an opening is between wall studs there is little need for anything that would be called a lintel. Anouther name for a lintel is a header. There is usually some kind of header over an opening. A lintel's size and integrity is determined by the load it will support.

How do you put a cartilage ring and ball in your ear?

Slip the ring over your ear to the hole. Then, rotate the ring through. The bead should have small dimples on either side. Put one of the dimples on one side of the ring and press the other dimple into the ring **this will take a few tries**. If the ball is too small for the opening press the ring together to make the opening smalller. Could also look on youtube. Oh and this is called a CBR which stands for Captive Bead Ring.

Can you put a betta fish in a vase?

Can you? Yes. Should you? No. They're tropical fish that need heaters (between 78 and 82 degrees F) and gentle filters to be healthy, and in too small of a tank, ammonia will build up and burn them. And as surface breathers, having only a small opening at the top can cause problems, if it were blocked, they could suffocate.
