Ok, so family game night and my older son joins us. He can get VERY competitive when playing games.

He watches everyone's cards and the SECOND their 2nd to last card TOUCHES the pile he screams UNO. My wife tells him that he can't call UNO on her until the card is out of her hand. So a couple hands later my daughter calls UNO as she moving the card from her hand to the deck and he starts yelling that if he can't say if until the card is out of her hand then she can't say it either.

All I see the official rules is that if a player calls attention before the next player goes, and I've always gone by "chess rules" where once the card leaves the hand entirely, then it's fair game to be called out.

What's the official ruling on when exactly they player can be called out for not saying UNO?

I have an interview for a job tomorrow. The job is a pretty good fit, I have experience with everything they want. The ONLY weak point in their requirements request is that they want "Advanced Excel Skills (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, Power Query)". Pivot Tables are not a strong point for me. VLOOKUP are fine, and I'm quite strong with Power Query, but I rarely find the need for Pivot Tables with what I do.

Anyway, all that to say that I feel pretty good about the job fit/qualifications. The issue is the salary. They don't have a range posted anywhere, I checked multiple job boards and their website and none of them include any kind of range.
My wife suggested that I use other job listings for a general range. Yes, AND... The pay ranges are all over the place, I've seen as low as $65k and as high as $192k. I was making ~$180k as a 1099 previously so as a W2 I'd like to make $140k-150k-ish, but when I said $110k for a job with a range of $97k-132k they pretty much hung up on me.

It seems like the salary is the big level for companies right now. They have hundreds or sometimes thousands of applicants so they don't feel the need to even consider people who want more than their lowest end. Without even having a range to work with, how can I make sure I don't price myself out of a job? At this point even $50k is more than I'm making now, but I don't want to get a job JUST to get a job only to keep looking, I'm not that kind of guy, I don't care of job-hopping, I tend to be loyal to where I work (1099 or W2) until they give me a major reason not to.
