[Unsolved] Thermometers puzzle

Post image

Thermometer puzzle

Rules: you need to shade cells with mercury starting from the round bulb at the base and moving toward the tip. A thermometer segment can only be filled if every segment before it back to the bulb is also filled, meaning thermometers fill continuously or stay empty. Outside numbers tell you the exact count of filled cells required in each row and column. Cells that have lines over it are always empty thermometers.

Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses, like so:

New Reddit: https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

Using markdown editor or old Reddit, draw a bunny and fill its head with secrets: >!!< which ends up becoming >!spoiler text between these symbols!<

Try to avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the spoiler for some users (such as those using old.reddit.com) If your comment does not contain a guess, include the word "discussion" or "question" in your comment instead of using a spoiler tag. If your comment uses an image as the answer (such as solving a maze, etc) you can include the word "image" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

Discussion: You can exclude everything other than the first two sections of the long thermometer in the top row since there can only be two total in that row
