Hey tell me, if everything was thrown away

Would smiling and living become easier?

My chest is going to start to hurt again so,

Don't say anything anymore

Hey tell me, if everything was forgotten

Would not crying and living become easier too?

But a thing like that can't be done so

Just don't say anything

No matter how close to you I get

I only have one heart...

You're horrible, you're horrible, you might as well just

Destroy my body, tear it apart, do whatever you please

Scream, struggle, swell my eyes, no matter what I do

You still won't let me part from your embrace

I'm fine already...

I'm fine already

Hey tell me, if a wish of mine can come true

I want to wish the same thing as you

But because I don't exist,

Well, then at least come here

It fades out of sight, far far away, leaving me behind

Now I can't see it anymore, the night crumbles apart

I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry

But truthfully, I want to say out loud

"Don't go away..."

No matter just how much I'm loved by you

I only have one heart...

Stop it, stop it, don't be kind to me

Whatever I do, I can't understand it

It's hurting me, it's hurting me, explain to me in words

I don't know anything like this

Please don't leave me alone...

You're horrible, you're horrible, you might as well just

Destroy my body, tear it apart, do whatever you please

Scream, struggle, swell my eyes, no matter what I do

You still won't let me part from your embrace

It's fine already...

It's fine already

Hey tell me, if I were to have a heart

In what way should I go about finding it?

You smiled just a bit and said,

"Well about that, it's right here."

S. Korea-U.S. summit takes place amid diplomatic tug-of-war in Northeast Asia - Duration: 3:07.

And our Blue House correspondent Hwang Hojun, who's also in Washington for the summit between

Presidents Moon and Trump... is going to guide us step-by-step through the flurry of diplomacy

that's taken place over the past few months to get us to this point.

The diplomatic surge in Northeast Asia started in March.

"South and North Korea have agreed to hold the third leaders' summit at the Peace House

in Panmunjom in late April.

For this, we agreed to hold working-level talks."

And just three days later, U.S. President Donald Trump agreed to meet with North Korean

leader Kim Jong-un, after being briefed by the South Korean special envoys who personally

delivered Kim's willingness to denuclearize.

"President Trump appreciated the briefing and said he would meet Kim Jong-un by May

to achieve permanent denuclearization."

But, while Pyongyang's icy relationship with South Korea and the U.S. seemed to be defrosting,

the regime made sure to play its cards close to its chest.

In late March, about a month prior to the inter-Korean summit, Kim Jong-un made a surprise

visit to Beijing to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

It was Kim's first trip outside North Korea as well as his first one-on-one with a foreign

leader since he took power in 2011.

Kim and Xi discussed Pyongyang's commitment to dialogue with South Korea and the U.S.

for denuclearization while underscoring the necessity and historical significance of bilateral

ties between North Korea and China and pledging closer communication and cooperation.

On April 27th, the historic inter-Korean summit took place at the border village of Panmunjom.

Thoughts of reconciliation and reunification were in the air as President Moon and Kim

pledged to cooperate to de-escalate military tension by halting all aggression and to realize

a "complete" denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

"Chairman Kim and I have today reaffirmed our common goal of realizing a nuclear-free

Korean Peninsula through complete denuclearization."

Less than two weeks later,... Kim made a surprise visit to Dalian, a city in China's northeast,...

for his second summit with Xi Jinping,.... once again pledging to strengthen the strategic

communication between the two countries.

China's determination to make sure it would still be able to exert influence on North

Korea-related affairs was expressed a couple days after, during a trilateral summit in

Tokyo between leaders of South Korea, Japan and China.

And a couple of days after that, President Trump announced the Pyongyang-Washington summit

would be held in Singapore on June 12th.

Tuesday's one-on-one between the two leaders comes amid North Korea's threats to cancel

its upcoming summit with President Trump if the U.S. continues its quote "one-sided"

affair pressuring Pyongyang to give up its nuclear program,... while also citing the

recent joint exercises between Seoul and Washington The spotlight will be on how President Moon,...

bearing the label, "the negotiator",... will navigate through the regional diplomatic tug-a-war

to guarantee a successful North Korea-U.S. summit as well as to establish lasting peace

on the Korean Peninsula.

576 MILLION IN JUST OVER AN HOUR... T.O.G. HAVE DONE IT AGAIN! - Duration: 6:25.

For this weeks preparation for NEXT video we'll be covering yet another way to get frankly

insane amounts of units, and this time, it's not me who made it.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the newest project from the T.O.G...

The GAS Cooperative

The GAS cooperative is a set of farms that utilizes current and newly discovered glitches,

this has allowed them to put 49 Atmosphere Harvesters in a single Base location.

49 is a lot of Atmosphere Harvesters, but it's not the total amount, they have made

3 of these Atmosphere Harvester bases, 3, for each Gas type...

It's a little crazy in all honesty.

With these 9 bases full of atmosphere harvesters that can be accessed by anyone visiting, they

have also made 2 Living Glass farms, and these aren't any standard farms either, with every

crop glitched on the surface, they have been able to produce a total over both farms of

120 Living Glass per hour.

The goal of these farms is to produce Cryogenic Chambers, these sell for 4.8 million each,

and since you can make 120 of them per cycle, you can make 576 million for that cycle.

Note that I said cycle and not hour, the TOG are all on this and use that word instead

also, this is because time spent in portals, warping or teleporting do not keep the timers

ticking, so it will be an hour plus any travel time within the portal system.

Even on the slowest system around this is likely to be less than 1 hour and 20 minutes

per cycle, this beat all other methods.

Of course, this kind of thing requires an insane setup as well as the use of glitches,

so if you are someone who does not wish to profit from glitches, stick to trading, Trading

and Stasis Device farms like I have layed out are 2 of the highest fully legit ways

of making units, but most are not bothered with using glitches, so go crazy and use this

GAS cooperative.

Another thing to note is that this has been built on PS4 and as far as I can tell there

is no PC replicant, I am not sure if there are any plans to bring this to PC in an official

capacity, and I asked the question to one of the founders Normi around the time he enters

his Stasis Device for the night, so if I get an update on that I'll post it in a pinned

comment to this video.

So how can you use this GAS cooperative?

Well, due to the way that atmosphere Harvesters work, they are not coded with other player

use in mind, for example if we compare this with Hydroponic Trays, these have to be charged,

but if you encounter them in anothers base, they are always charged and don't require

you to charge them, this is not the case when encountering another players Atmosphere Harvesters.

So when you first encounter them, they will be empty and depleted, you must first charge

them, this is absolutely fine, just charge them with plutonium, of which you will need

a hefty 18,000 per hour, but this isn't as bad as it sounds, you can simply go to high

economy systems and buy upto 5,000 at a time, so just find 4 high economy systems near you

with 4,500 in each or 5 with 3,600 or more in each and visit those before each cycle.

So once you have charged the Atmosphere Harvesters, start collecting the crops from the Living

Glass Farms, these farms work on a 2 harvest per cycle module, meaning that you will start

by harvesting everything, then move to the second living glass farm and harvest everything,

then back to the first and wait for the frostwort to grow, harvest that, and then back to the

second to harvest the frostwort again there also.

This is because Frostwort grows fully every 15 minutes whereas Gamma Weed and Coprite

Flower take 30 minutes to mature, so you can make more for the same space by having half

the quantity of frostwort and harvest it twice as often as the rest.

This along with glitches that enable you to plant all crops on the planet surface has

resulted in 2 farms that produce 30 living glass each every 30 minute cycle.

So for each farm, youll harvest everything, then 15 minutes later havrest just the frostwort,

then 15 minutes after that harvest everything and then after another 15 minutes harvest

the frostwort again.

This will result in 120 Living Glass.

Once you have the living Glass, head to the Atmosphere harvester bases and harvest their

gases once the light on top goes to red which means they have run out of fuel and if were

filled with fuel will host a full 250 of the respective gas each.

It is important to note here that you should always fill a harvester in full with a single

click, using multiple stacks and or different fuels at the same time results in unwanted

glitches that will render the Harvester empty before it's time and so imcomplete in it's

resource yield.

It is advised that you construct you parts as you can while you harvest for better inventory

management.

All of the gases must be combined with carbon to make the higher crafted goods, this is

a small amount of carbon relative to the gases but still substantial as a whole.

You will need a total of 9000 Carbon for all 120 Cryogenic Chambers in 360 installments

of 25.

It is suggested that you gather this while you are waiting for the living glass 15 minute

intervals to conclude.

To put this into perspective, you could do 4 sections of 32 or so trees between the living

glass harvests which is very doable and would result in roughly the required amount.

To create the Cryogenic Chambers you must combine 1 Living Glass with 1 Cryo Pump.

A Cryo Pump is crafted from 1 Hot Ice and 1 Thermic Condensate.

Thermic Condensate is crafted from 250 Sulphurine and 25 Carbon.

Hot Ice is crafted from 1 Ammonium Salt and 1 Enriched Carbon.

Enriched Carbon is crafted from 250 Radon and 25 Carbon

and finally Ammonium Salt is crafted from 250 Nitrogen and 25 Carbon

This fantastic Porject has been brought to you by the T.O.G. which stand for Top of the

Galaxy, they are a Community of No Man's Sky players who have created a player civilization

that focuses on the betterment of all players through mutual gain and fun activities.

Their greatest out of game presence is on the Amino App which is linked in the description.

The specific people who have built this project are the Founders, Pjranha & Normi1701 as well

as the Gas Cartel, Tomcoolcam, Robert AKA Rtoebak and GlitchTraveller.

Normi was nice enough to send me the image assets I've used in this video to show it

as best as I can without having first hand video.

As this is their project I have not written all of the addresses and such in the description

like I usually would, instead I have linked their original post from the amino which can

be accessed through any browser showing their release images which have all of the portal

addresses and relevant information clearly marked.

Thank you for watching folks, send the TOG some love then make a whole crazy bunch of

units so you're a multi billionare with every advantage you could want leading into NEXT.

Have an awesome day folks!

2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71 Review: Off-Road Prowess, On-Road Practicality - Duration: 9:16.

Welcome to Critic's Notebook, a quick and off-the-cuff car review consisting of impressions,

jottings, and marginalia regarding whatever The Drive writers happen to be driving.

Today's edition: the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71.

Confession alert: I kind of love trucks.

Admittedly, that probably doesn't seem like much of a shocking revelation, not in a land

where pickups are the best-selling passenger vehicles by a country—or city—mile.

(Remember, folks: General Motors, Ford, and Fiat-Chrysler sold 2,257,361 full-sized trucks

in 2017—which is to say, more than one out of every eight new vehicles bought last year

was a Silverado, Sierra, Ram, or F-Series.)

But in terms of the pigeonholes we automotive journalists like to nest ourselves into, I

certainly wouldn't consider myself a "truck guy."

Lay out the new cars on sale today in a smorgasbord of sheet metal for me to choose from, and

I'll sprint for the keys to the likes of a manual-gearboxed muscle car or hip-check

a septuagenarian for the front-left seat of the latest and greatest sport sedan.

And yet, a long weekend hustling about in the 2018 Chevy Silverado reminded me just

how damn wonderful pickups are.

Over the span of three days, I scrambled up and down Vermont's beaten logging trails and

battered Class 3 roads, filled the bed with furniture and oddities while helping my mother

move, and logged 800-plus miles through four states on the interstate, occasionally at

speeds that would've earned me a hefty ticket had any super troopers snagged me in their

radar nets.

No speed machine, no luxury sedan, no family hauler could have done all those things; even

most SUVs would have thrown up their metaphorical mitts at the tasks.

The Silverado did all that without coming close to breaking a sweat.

The Pros: It's not hard to see why the crew cab bodystyle

has become so popular with pickup buyers—it welds the people-carrying capabilities of

a full-sized sedan with the go-anywhere, throw-anything-in-back versatility of any truck.

Like any jack-of-all-trades, that makes it a compromised proposition: you'll be stuck

choosing the shortest bed (unless you find the idea of tilling a vehicle that feels as

long as the Queen Mary through the Costco parking lot), and those folks inside better

be comfortable sharing their space with their bag, as trunk space is nonexistent.

But the Silverado makes peace with these bargains well; at a bit more than five and a half feet

long, the bed is still big enough to fit most anything you'd throw back there, and there's

enough room in back to shoehorn loose items into the rear footwells even with three people

occupying the rear bench.

The Z71 package makes jaunting off the beaten path easy as pie.

My Silverado so easily conquered soggy, rock-strewn Vermont two-tracks that would rip the exhaust

system out of many lesser off-roaders, I never even needed to shift the four-wheel-drive

system out of RWD mode.

Some of the credit goes to the tall & toothy off-road tires, but the Z71-specific suspension

deserves recognition as well, providing a jacked-up ride height that soaks up nasty

off-road bumps while still supplying a supple highway drive.

The 5.3-liter/eight-speed automatic transmission may no longer be the top box on the powertrain

choice list, but unless you're towing mighty loads, it's all the engine this truck needs;

not once did the Silverado feel wanting for power in the time I had it.

If, as George Carlin once opined, your house is just a place to put your stuff while you

go out and get more stuff, the Silverado is perfectly designed to serve a similar purpose.

Blessed be GM (and, really, all of the Big Three) for equipping trucks these days with

more simple utility features than you can practically imagine.

Cubbies, holsters, and crannies for all sorts of personal accouterments abound; should they

require power, I counted no fewer than four USB ports, a 110-volt outlet and a 12-volt

power hole between the driver's seat and the shotgun throne alone.

And I probably missed some.

Likewise, every automotive interior design team should ape the way Chevy's big rig

provides hearty, intuitive dials and buttons for all the key interior functions.

(That goes double for the dudes and dames down the hall at the Cadillac studio.)

While pickup truck makers have been loading their wares up with increasing levels of luxury

and high-end options in order to fluff up their bottom lines, the LTZ trim strikes a

nice balance between price and features.

It may not be as thematic as the likes of a High Country or King Ranch, but the comfy

leather seats are heated and cooled, the windows power themselves up and down with a single

tap, and the climate control lets both driver and passenger regulate their own temperature

as needed.

Sure, further niceties are out there, but they're just that—nice, not beneficial.

The Cons: Admittedly, the Silverado's age is starting

to show in some of the details.

The infotainment system's screen looks tiny in its plastic-clad frame atop the mighty

center stack, and the gauges, which functional, are a bit cheap for a $55,000 vehicle.

(And the lack of a redline on certain tachometers will forever be a bugaboo of mine.)

Be ready to rack up an impressive tab at the local Sunoco.

I saw around 18 miles per gallon on the trip computer overall, and that number plunged

every time I dabbed the gas pedal into potential-speeding-ticket zone on the highway.

(Texans who grapple with 85-mph speed limits best be prepared for 15-mpg averages.)

Thankfully, the 5.3-liter only needs regular gas—but with gas prices slowly creeping

northward again, even filling the 26-gallon tank with 87 octane can become an expensive

proposition.

There's zero steering feel.

I'd feel stupid saying such a thing about a truck—it's like complaining about the

lack of ground clearance in a Lamborghini Huracan—if not for the fact that full-sized

rigs from the likes of Ford and Ram have proven it's not beyond Detroit's capabilities

to weave a little dynamic response into a giant body-on-frame vehicle's controls.

Do you suffer from even a mild case of OCD?

Then be prepared to talk to your doctor about upping your dosage after spending time with

the slightly-offset steering wheel position.

The Bottom Line: The 2018 Silverado, as The Drive's resident

truck guru Kyle Cheromcha pointed out in his recent review of the Centennial version, is

fairly long in the tooth in new-car terms.

An all-new model is due on the streets later this year, and just in the nick of time; the

fresh-to-death 2019 Ram 1500 serves up a better drive, while the Ford F-150 is coming off

a mid-cycle revamp that brings spruced-up styling and new capabilities like a turbodiesel

engine option.

Any brand-agnostic buyers testing all three will likely find this Chevy's two primary

competitors a better choice—especially if their personal version of the dilemma isn't

weighed by any incentives GM or the local dealership has slapped on the hood of their

aging trucks to move them out the door.

But the outgoing Silverado still can do everything Americans depend on trucks to do and desire

them for.

It can carry five people inside and haul hundreds of pounds of whatever you care for out back,

all while laughing its way over terrain rough enough to make cars whimper and die.

Who cares if the plastic trim looks a tad cheap, or if the steering has all the sensitivity

of your gumline after a double shot of Novocaine?

The United States, since its inception, has always been defined—for better and for worse—as

a land of self-determination, of rugged individualism, a place where the measure of a person is determined

by his or her abilities when left to them.

We honor and celebrate those who not just persevere in the face of struggle, but those

who do so solo—those who can survive and thrive on their own virtues and capabilities.

Is it any surprise, then, that we so love vehicles like the Silverado, that let us do

as many things as possible?

2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71 Review: Off-Road Prowess, On-Road Practicality - Duration: 9:16.

Welcome to Critic's Notebook, a quick and off-the-cuff car review consisting of impressions,

jottings, and marginalia regarding whatever The Drive writers happen to be driving.

Today's edition: the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ Z71.

Confession alert: I kind of love trucks.

Admittedly, that probably doesn't seem like much of a shocking revelation, not in a land

where pickups are the best-selling passenger vehicles by a country—or city—mile.

(Remember, folks: General Motors, Ford, and Fiat-Chrysler sold 2,257,361 full-sized trucks

in 2017—which is to say, more than one out of every eight new vehicles bought last year

was a Silverado, Sierra, Ram, or F-Series.)

But in terms of the pigeonholes we automotive journalists like to nest ourselves into, I

certainly wouldn't consider myself a "truck guy."

Lay out the new cars on sale today in a smorgasbord of sheet metal for me to choose from, and

I'll sprint for the keys to the likes of a manual-gearboxed muscle car or hip-check

a septuagenarian for the front-left seat of the latest and greatest sport sedan.

And yet, a long weekend hustling about in the 2018 Chevy Silverado reminded me just

how damn wonderful pickups are.

Over the span of three days, I scrambled up and down Vermont's beaten logging trails and

battered Class 3 roads, filled the bed with furniture and oddities while helping my mother

move, and logged 800-plus miles through four states on the interstate, occasionally at

speeds that would've earned me a hefty ticket had any super troopers snagged me in their

radar nets.

No speed machine, no luxury sedan, no family hauler could have done all those things; even

most SUVs would have thrown up their metaphorical mitts at the tasks.

The Silverado did all that without coming close to breaking a sweat.

The Pros: It's not hard to see why the crew cab bodystyle

has become so popular with pickup buyers—it welds the people-carrying capabilities of

a full-sized sedan with the go-anywhere, throw-anything-in-back versatility of any truck.

Like any jack-of-all-trades, that makes it a compromised proposition: you'll be stuck

choosing the shortest bed (unless you find the idea of tilling a vehicle that feels as

long as the Queen Mary through the Costco parking lot), and those folks inside better

be comfortable sharing their space with their bag, as trunk space is nonexistent.

But the Silverado makes peace with these bargains well; at a bit more than five and a half feet

long, the bed is still big enough to fit most anything you'd throw back there, and there's

enough room in back to shoehorn loose items into the rear footwells even with three people

occupying the rear bench.

The Z71 package makes jaunting off the beaten path easy as pie.

My Silverado so easily conquered soggy, rock-strewn Vermont two-tracks that would rip the exhaust

system out of many lesser off-roaders, I never even needed to shift the four-wheel-drive

system out of RWD mode.

Some of the credit goes to the tall & toothy off-road tires, but the Z71-specific suspension

deserves recognition as well, providing a jacked-up ride height that soaks up nasty

off-road bumps while still supplying a supple highway drive.

The 5.3-liter/eight-speed automatic transmission may no longer be the top box on the powertrain

choice list, but unless you're towing mighty loads, it's all the engine this truck needs;

not once did the Silverado feel wanting for power in the time I had it.
