It is always baffling to me how @YellowBuses, whose Bournemouth area services are almost always reliable, is the same company running the M3 @megabusuk service which more often than not is pure chaos, with hour-long delays, skipped stops, and lack of communication.

@tmalsburg @psychtoolbox Somewhat useless off topic reply: why not Opensesame or PsychoPy?

The broken @megabusuk coach tracker is getting more ridiculous by the minute:

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

Plus, the tracker on the Megabus website is apparently tracking a random other coach, making me think that I had missed the M3 again (the actual location is the blue dot, of course).

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

Today's trip with Megabus is truly the worst coach trip I have ever had in the UK. 4.5 h delay, misleading announcements, no communication, total chaos, with @megabusuk, @YellowBuses and @HeathrowAirport coach station staff all blaming each other. Never again!

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@megabusuk @HeathrowAirport So the final conclusion seems to be that when you are at @HeathrowAirport coach station, ignore the departure board and go outside to where you hope your bus will depart 15 minutes before it is due to leave, at least when you are traveling on @megabusuk.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

Do not use @megabusuk for any kind of time-critical travel, e.g. to go to the airport. The combination of unreliability and lack of communication (the only customer support is over Twitter, apparently) is disgraceful. Never had this kind of problem with @nationalexpress.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@megabusuk @HeathrowAirport I'm still getting home 4 h late after an already long flight. I am just surprised that it is not possible for @megabusuk and @HeathrowAirport to update a departures board reliably. The coach station information states explicitly not to go outside until the bus is announced.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@megabusuk @nationalexpress Can't seem to DM you, so will send an email asking for a refund as I'm buying a @nationalexpress ticket now. At least they have a number you can call when things go wrong

@tmalsburg Summer school!

@tmalsburg Und genau deshalb bin ich auch ins Ausland gegangen.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@anna_pryslopska @tmalsburg I was actually told that, too, but it never made a lot of sense to me, even as a student.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@jgeller_phd @tmalsburg Well, even in reading it can be an issue. It comes from the (good) intuition that none of the rich eye movement record should go to waste, but unfortunately NHST just doesn't work like that.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@jgeller_phd @tmalsburg I think there must be a Bayesian way of dealing with this issue somehow. But you just can't do it with NHST.

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

@tmalsburg My main criticism of Python is that it's not like R...

[Bernhard A @Parafoveal]

We need to do this more for our students. Truly excellent work deserves individual recognition (even if we're not future Supreme Court Justices).

Coffee and paninis get converted to ideas; sometimes these are garbage, sometimes they lead to experiments, sometimes you need to see your supervisor. I am yet to graduate.
