Rubberdogging, verb: attempting to invent a solution to a technical problem by explaining it out loud to a pet. From "rubberducking", the practice of doing so to an inanimate object, and "dog walking".

Is there an equivalent for Cats? πŸ™‚πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

@simonzerafa If there is, I haven't found the right cat yet. Possibly I just wasn't as good an engineer when I last had pet cats, but whatever the reason: the 4 I tried were no help.

Maybe Cat5 will be more technical.

@dan

Perhaps the Cat6 with enhancements will be the LAN-side victory πŸ™‚

@dan πŸ˜‚ ❀️ πŸ’™ Good luck with that i fearπŸ‘
