How do you calibrate a sealed thermometer with fixed markings? How would the readings change if no mercury is lost? In what way can it change? Over what period of time?
See, you're lazy
First, you said glass is a liquid. Then you said it expands or shrinks with temp. Which is true but not a significant amount.
You don't have a clue what the linear expansion coefficient is or how it applies.
Then you bring up the Bureau of Standards. First off, that is a US institution. Europeans don't use it. Second, the Bureau has information on all the thermometers the scientific community would buy. No one would buy a thermometer that wasn't approved. They would have long-term data on the sealed thermometers. The degree of accuracy depends on the scale. Like I said in the previous post. The instrument is accurate and repeatable withing a set range as determined by numerous factors.
You might be licking my ass but you sure aren't kicking it. Again?
You haven't refuted a single point. The Bureau recognizes instruments that don't need calibration. Like a ruler douche-bag. Do you take your yardstick in for calibration every year? The thermometer is calibrated when it is manufactured.
We have a meltdown in progress. You have no facts. You proclaim you're not losing but actually winning. You're kicking my ass and you're going to light me up.
Ohhh. I'm afraid of the scary man in the white sheet.
Fuck off and die?
Ladies first, bitch.

Several people (at least 3 or 4, as I recall) pointed out the obvious fallacies inherent in your "argument." They presented their opinions. And as Mr.
Stupid himself, you see a lack of response by the mods as a "win".
I bet you have a shelf of participation trophies, don't you? Yet you decided to plow right ahead and double (triple? quadruple?) down on stupidity, didn't you?
But go right ahead and continue calling everyone who dares to disagree with you a "douche bag" or a "bitch."
It's all you've got.
BTW, all sorts of shit is calibrated when it is made. It needs to be checked later at certain intervals especially when billions of dollars of government spending is riding on it.
Fuck off and die!!
