I mean, wouldn't that depend entirely upon how high up in the sky the blocking material sits? I don't find it unreasonable to assume that a few
thousandmillion drones could suspend some type of sun-blocking lightweight fabric in the air over a city.Mmmm, lets do some math. This nice product here blocks 90 square feet and weighs ~4 lbs. Assuming a drone can carry 20lbs, you could theoretically get 360 square feet of coverage per drone (per 20 minutes). Springfield is ~ 15.2 square miles, and Google tells me that 439,000,000 square feet. This means we'd need not only 4.87 million pieces of fabric from Amazon, but also 1.22 million drones.
Now, a million drones might not be a lot for Mr. Burns (actually $300 million is quite a bit), but lets consider the amount of energy that would be required to hold such cloth in the air. Drones burn ~300W to hover while holding such weight. With a million drones, that gives us 366 000 megawatts of consumption. Interestingly, the smallest nuclear power plant produces 500MW, while larger ones (such as the one demolished in Oregon in 2006) produce 1130 MW. This means Mr. Burns would use 25-50% of his own power plant's production just to block out the sun.
That's enough math for now.
I want this more.
It's been discussed. I love the location and I guarantee I had the coldest tent in the land.
My tips:
For the past 2 years I've seen people try it to shade their tent by putting standard blue tarps on them. While this does provide some shade the issue tends to be that the tarp makes contact with the tent. This does not allow for air flow and actually insulates the tent to be hotter. If you attach your tarp and then with some strings pull the corners out and away from the tent, this will allow a for greater airflow and thus a cooler tent to.
This year I purchased one of these and it was the best idea ever.

Using the same trick of pulling the corners out in allowing air flow this hands down kept our tent at least 5 to 10ﾟ cooler in direct sunlight with out the ac.
As far as the air conditioners they used last year. I saw many people having common issues like water in their tent or the airconditioner not actually being cold. The 1st reason for having water in your tent would be not draining your air conditioning they did not include hoses so this was something that needed to be done daily. Doing so also improves the efficiency of the airconditioner. 2nd, you must take all of the filters out I believe last year's air conditioners had 5 of them. This will greatly improve the air flow into the unit and out of the unit l. 3rd I saw several people take their exhaust hose and push it up to the screen vent in the bottom of the tent to. What should have been done is the hose needed to be placed outside the tent and the air conditioner as close to the door as possible. The reason for this is that the screen at the bottom of the tent inhibits the air flow from getting out and actually pumps more hot air into the tent. Lastly have the air conditioner as close to the door as you can. it definitely helps to keep one side of the tent flap door open, you really do want air circulation coming in from outside as the air will generally be cooler as the tent starts to cool down. Once you reach and nice temperature you can close up the tent still leaving the hose hanging outside.
One more thing a small pop up canopy over the front door as a bonus shade to have the air cool before it gets inside.
I really do hope this helps anyone dealing with the heat next year.
Sorry to spam you with questions, but are these Umbrella anchor's allowed in? Or would it screw up the ground to much?

I know you’re in college and money is tight, but even shelling out a little bit could really get things moving in a positive direction. 50 ft of fence privacy screening is $50.
Someone else suggested muzzling, which will ease your fears that the worst case scenario will happen. If she still barks and lunges, no biggie, just cross the street and hurry along, lots of dogs react this way and most people will take the hint and also hurry along. At least you know theres no risk of injury. Muzzles are also pretty inexpensive.
Lastly I’d look up reactive dog classes in your area. Maybe I’m just lucky, but my city had a reactive rover class for $95. Again I know a big expense for a student, but is it worth saving up the money to improve your and your dogs quality of life?
I use [these](Natural Shoe Deodorizer & Odor Eliminator Removes Moisture & Odor From Shoes & Bags. Better Than Sprays, Sneaker Balls, Powders and Last up to 2 Years. (130g) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00YCT5EA6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_Rrppxb14YFFN3) when I'm not using my shoes
I use these shoe deodorizer inserts:

And this is the spray:

I also use a powder on my feet / in my shoes in the heat of summer (I live in a super humid, super hot place) so I need all the help I can get. It has helped immensely. I used to have to actually trash shoes because they’d smell so bad, but with this method I can’t even tell I’ve worn them usually. And my closet smells amazing.
Next summer must have lol
Hands Free Fishing Umbrella Hat, Luwint 36'' Diameter Adjustable Gardening Folding UV Protection Umbrella Headwear (Upgraded Silver) https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B074BR1JHT

You need shade netting. The plants still get enough light to grow but you keep the majority of the sun off of the soil so the roots don't get as hot.
For next year, increase the density of your plantings. You want them thick enough so that after they get their third or fourth set of true leaves, they are shading 50% of the soil. You can always thin them out later of they get to crowded, but you need to keep the sun off of the soil if you want them to grow!
I would have to say its heat stress as Im also an Oklahoma grower and It's been a hot one! They are bouncing between vastly different temps and its just stressing them out. My suggestion would be to try just sticking to indoors on the super hot days. If that is not an option, consider building some plant shades https://www.amazon.com/Agfabric-Sunblock-Shade-Cloth-Plants/dp/B00LO0JPHO
If it does end up being mites, I suggest Green Cleaner.
Well, I've got a shade sail that will mount underneath the lights with bungee cords for shade during the day. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07S1TXNSS/)
At night it's mostly aesthetics and a mounting fixture for lights, makes it feel very cozy.
As far as lighting goes though, it really lights up the entire back yard and makes it all usable at night. Our grill will be relocated nearby with more furniture.
Longer term - going to build a woodworking shop (probably 15x25ft footprint) a little further out with a patio to turn this into a bigger contiguous hangout space.
I attached a clear polycarbonate awning to my fence (similar to https://www.amazon.com/Simply-Me-Polycarbonate-Outdoor-Protection-Transparent/dp/B07VC7MNZQ) and keep the rain-sensitive succulents underneath it.
Aww yiss, black cats! I have tons of cat things in my wishlist but I think the "Yours, Mine, and Noir's" duvet cover (on my primary "Need = Want" wishlist) totally fills the bill with black cats GALORE! It's from ModCloth, not Amazon directly, but it's been on my Amazon wishlist for a while now!
On my "Want → Wear" wishlist, I have the Romwe Cat Face Dress and the CYTPrimeDesign cat face stockings, as well as a number of black cat tee-shirts from other sellers. My favourites are the "Cat hair is lonely people glitter" and "Cat hair is the new black", both from LookHuman.com.
On Amazon directly, I have both a BAMF rifle style umbrella (on my "Want > Need" wishlist) and the even-cooler Kikkerland saber umbrella (on my "Want > Wallet" wishlist), both of which I would so totally open inside. Mostly so people could see how cool they are.
Also, 13 is my lucky number! :)

This is what I did (not my house, just similar fence), we have around 600', maybe a bit more. https://www.protectionfenceco.com/uploads/3/7/7/1/3771458/6-4x2-welded-wire-on-cedar-4x4-posts-with-picket-gate_orig.jpg
We did 5' wire fencing and 4x4 posts spaced approx 10' apart. For added privacy in one section I ordered a fence privacy screen (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DS1YCRZ). Most of our fence just looks over trees, so we didn't need privacy, and I like how the fence is not super visible.
Came to about 3-4$/ft doing the work myself I believe.
As far as the shade cloth, do you prefer nylon or aluminum?
I really don't encounter rain that often when i camp (almost always in the desert), so I think this will be the way to go over a solid tarp. More airflow etc.
Aluminum is more expensive but I kind of think it'd work better for the purpose since it's reflective.

What about this instead?

If you're cool with looking silly, I recently bought this umbrella hat from Amazon and it's pretty darn awesome.

Get one of these and you'll never have to apply sunscreen again!
A lot of people use washing machines just fine but I tend to steer away from it.
The key is to just do preventative cleaning, especially if you live somewhere where there's snow, slush and salt to deal with. I'll wipe my shoes down with a damp rag or just a hint of soap for wiping away the easy grime and any spot stains. If they get really dirty I give them a scrub with a brush and some Jason Markk.
If you clean proactively, it's a lot easier to keep your shoes fresh. For odors I use a couple of these to rotate between my pairs. Not an instant fix for a really bad pair but keeps everything smelling fresh: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YCT5EA6/
Due to its design it does sag a little, but the holes don't really stretch out much after the first week. I just took off the zipties and retied it after the first week and it's held up for over three months now. I didn't double up the netting and it worked fine.

I was part of a large group last year about 15, and while one person was mostly holding it we all took turns. Because its so fun! It definitely made our experience better with people coming up to us to ask about our totem, or gently booping people on the head with it (it was a light up pillow)
In research for making my own this year I came across this doohickey that might be useful if you wanted to anchor your pole in the ground while relaxing near a stage or something. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004YE6T8A/?ref=cm_sw_r_pi_dp_6iDKub0XJ5E1R
There are a ton of past posts here on people's totem making experiences (as well as guidelines on how to be considerate to others with your totem) I encourage you and your crew to craft your hearts out! There will be four of you but a tooooon of other people!
We use this as a sun shade, great for privacy as well. You can hang between wood posts or something if needed
