For the last week I've been working on a fast enough way to render realistic light refraction through multiple layers of liquid in my VRChat fluid simulation.
Ended up using a multilayer screen space ray marching solution to approximate the path of light.
I'm finishing up the VRChat fluid simulation world, adding a bunch of stuff like basic VRChat Light Volumes support to the fluid and a world night mode, liquid looks really pretty due to the glinting of the light sources.
This clip shows the flood on the flatter Tibet side near Gyirong — the debris cloud rolling across rice paddies like a solid wave, not the steep-gorge surge we've seen from the Nepal side.
Same flood, different landscape, same destruction.
Heads Up, Abbotsford
Over the past week, AbbyPD has seen an increase in fraud-related phone calls and text messages targeting members of our community. These scams are designed to gain access to your banking information or convince you to send money.
In several recent cases, fraudsters spoofed the Abbotsford Police Department's non-emergency phone number, causing it to appear on the recipient's call display in an effort to make the scam seem legitimate. In other instances, text messages falsely claimed to be from the Abbotsford Police Department. We want to be clear: these are scams.
If you notice a missed call from the Abbotsford Police Department but have not received a voicemail asking you to return the call using our official non-emergency number, there is generally no need to call back.
The Abbotsford Police Department will never call you to request money, banking information, passwords, gift cards, or other personal financial information over the phone.
If you receive a call from someone claiming to be with the Abbotsford Police Department and they ask for banking information or demand payment for unpaid bills, debts, taxes, or fines, hang up immediately.
If you are unsure whether a caller is legitimate, end the call and contact the Abbotsford Police Department directly through our official non-emergency line (604-859-5225) to verify the caller's identity and confirm the call is genuine.
Stay vigilant, protect your personal information, and help spread the word to family and friends.

🔴🔴FENÓMENOS | Un intenso sistema frontal afectó a varias regiones de Chile, alcanzando su punto crítico con graves aluviones (flujos de lodo, rocas y escombros) en el norte, particularmente en la comuna de Tocopilla (Región de Antofagasta).
⚠️Además de desbordes de ríos e inundaciones masivas en zonas del centro y sur: la precipitación concentrada en corto tiempo activó quebradas habitualmente secas, enviando una masa de lodo a alta velocidad hacia zonas urbanas.
⚠️En el caso de Tocopilla, la zona es un desierto hiperárido natural: forma parte del Desierto de Atacama, considerado el más seco del planeta.
⚠️El suelo carece de cubierta vegetal y árboles debido a que el promedio histórico de lluvias ronda los 1 a 2 milímetros al año: no existen bosques ni mantos vegetales retenedores; el suelo seco actúa casi como una superficie pavimentada de hormigón.

This is not a movie. Security cameras at the Nepal-Tibet border just recorded a flash flood burying an entire border crossing in real time. Ground and aerial footage show the scale of what hit the region. Hundreds still missing.
भयानक मंजर के बाद लूट का वीडियो 😱
बेहद शर्मनाक, जान गवाने वालो को भी नहीं छोड़ा, शर्मसार वीडियो 💔 👇
जिंदगी खत्म हो गयी लेकिन कुछ लोग जान गवाने वाले लोगो के पॉकेट से पैसे और मोबाइल निकाल रहे है
कल नेपाल मे भयानक बाढ़ आई जिसमे हजारों लोगो कि जान चली गयी और न जाने कितनी जिंदगी लापता हो गयी 🥹
🚨 BREAKING — NEPAL FLOOD DISASTER GROWS EVEN WORSE 🇳🇵🇨🇳
The death toll from the catastrophic flash floods along the Nepal–China border has now risen to at least 162, with hundreds of people still missing. 💔
The disaster struck after a glacial collapse sent a massive surge of mud, rocks and water through the Himalayan valleys, devastating communities in Nepal’s Rasuwa region and across the border in Tibet’s Gyirong County.
Entire villages, roads, bridges, vehicles and critical infrastructure were swept away within minutes. The region is also a major route for pilgrims and trekkers travelling toward Mount Kailash and Lake Mansarovar, leaving hundreds of tourists and foreign nationals unaccounted for.
Rescue teams, helicopters, soldiers and emergency workers are continuing the search through the devastated areas, but damaged roads and disrupted communications are making the operation extremely difficult.
This is no longer just a flood — it is a massive humanitarian disaster unfolding across the Himalayas. 💔
May God protect everyone still missing, guide the rescuers, bring survivors safely back to their families, and give strength to everyone who has lost a loved one. 🙏🇳🇵🇨🇳
