I stumbled across this website yesterday, which explains the process of Rubber Duck debugging. If you're having issues with code not doing what you expect it to, and there aren't any other people around to help you, this is an actual thing people do to try to fix their code. It also may lead to your lab mates thinking you've lost it, so use with discretion:

I have a squishy cow for this at my desk now, and can attest that cows are just as good at debugging as ducks.
