          It's




          A wood fire




          because




          Water puts out a wood fire, it is not alive, it has no mouth, it needs oxygen (air) and it can grow bigger.

            Have you ever poured water on an oil based fire? It has quite the opposite effect. Same with some types of burning metals.

            @person27 if we're delving deeping into it then fire can also burn without 'air' - it doesn't need the nitrogen or any of the other elements - only oxygen is necessary.

          I went for an alternate solution




          Lightning




          I am not a living thing, but I can grow




          Watch a slow motion video of lightning strike - it grows from clouds to earth (technically from earth to clouds!)




          I don't have lungs, but I need air




          Lightning doesn't happen without air (you can do it small scale in a lab, but it doesn't happen in nature or on a scale of lightning, so this is correct)




          I have no mouth, but water kills me




          No lightning strikes within solid water!

            The answer can also be.




            Thirst

            You get more thirsty until you drink water(killing the thirst).

            An alternative that still somewhat fits, but is probably not the intended answer.



            It is:




            A soap bubble




            Because:




            It's not alive, but can grow by having air blown into it.

            It has no mouth, but requires air to exist.

            Splashing water on a bubble destroys it - Like in a kitchen sink.

              Those occur between layers of different density, not necessarily limited to one of those layers being air, so they can occur without it.

              @person27 if we're delving deeping into it then fire can also burn without 'air' - it doesn't need the nitrogen or any of the other elements - only oxygen is necessary.

              @LioElbammalf It doesn't even need oxygen, just something that will fill a similar chemical rule. Among others Chlorinating and Fluorinating chemicals will work in place of oxygen sources, and in some cases can consume as fuel things that you'd normally consider already burned up like water, carbon dioxide, or sand.

            Lightning




            I am not a living thing, but I can grow




            Watch a slow motion video of lightning strike - it grows from clouds to earth (technically from earth to clouds!)




            I don't have lungs, but I need air




            Lightning doesn't happen without air (you can do it small scale in a lab, but it doesn't happen in nature or on a scale of lightning, so this is correct)

                    How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

                    Image
                    3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question

                    Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

                    Image
                    up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title. Any help appreciated, as always. documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{book} % Packages[![enter image description here][1]][1] usepackage[left=3.5cm, right=3.5cm, top=4.3cm, bottom=4.25cm]{geometry} usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} usepackage{libertine} usepackage[libertine]{newtx

                    Can I use Tabulator js library in my java Spring + Thymeleaf project?

                    Image
                    0 I want to add Tabulator js to my java project. I added tabulator.min.js, tabulator.min.css to resources folder. After that added to my html page these dependencies as recommending in readme.md. <link rel="stylesheet" th:href="@{/css/tabulator.min.css}"> <script type="text/javascript" th:src="@{/js/tabulator.min.js}"></script> Now my tables view all elements, that I have in the html page, but not correct. In the documentation of Tabulator is example how to create header and table, var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", { columns:[ {title:"Name", field:"name", sorter:"string", width:200, editor:true}, {title:"Age", field:"age", sorter:"
