Am I losing my mind or is this #ESP32 really this annoying?

I wanted to lay it out temporarily on a breadboard first, figure out where the wires need to go, then solder it properly. The thing is one pip too wide??

All my breadboards are the same width. 2 power rails, 5 pins on each side of the center line. This looks like the standard size/shape.

This motherfucker is so wide that I can get at most one row of holes to the side of ONE side of the chip. How am I supposed to lay anything out like this? What am I missing?

Similar to how it sucks when a restaurant doesn't have a web site, they just have a facebook page, I get so mad when some #maker device like #esp32 relay, only has a youtube video.

They have a 24-second video, with pointless music and no words. All to fundamentally share this one image.

So I end up screen-capping that image and saving it in my folder of reference materials. Super frustrating.
