Officials warn communities could be under water for more than a week

1,000 people rescued from town of Emerald in last 24 hours

Residents warned of danger of crocodiles and snakes in flooded homes

More than 200,000 people have been affected in Queensland after the area suffered the worst flooding for 50 years.

The flood zone now stretches over an area bigger than France and Germany combined, officials said today.

Thousands of homes and businesses across Queensland state have been inundated with water after days of pounding rain caused swollen rivers to overflow.

The entire population of two towns was forced to evacuate as water swamped their communities, cutting off roads and devastating crops.

i thought australia was mostly desert and that people lived on the coasts, why does it matter if the desert regions become flooded

Massive changes in any ecosystem are rarely good.

Jesus and Rose better watch out >_>

1. You have to ask?

2. Because nature is, many times, unpredictable. They could be flooded as well...

Any such change destroys life... There are land organisms that will die because of the flood. Which will change the food chain.

Depending on the level of change, this can be very devastating to the ecosystem...

It kills many organisms and lessens the diversity of the types of organisms.

As my Biology teacher always says, "Diversity creates Stability".

Click to expand...

Parts of Australia are desert, but those are in areas where people don't live. A lot of Queensland is of a tropical climate. Flooding and other bad weather isn't too uncommon, just flooding to this degree is rather rare. That's what they get for living in a tropical climate.

People who live in Australia mostly live in coastal regions, unless it's for the convenience of resources, such as mining.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
