Why so? I prefer short width than longer one because it's easy to scan. I can also have multiple tabs open without having to scroll.

Its fun to see all the people reacting "Google's Bard shows incorrect information", and at the same time say "Google is done, they couldn't even release a LLM chatbot first". Think how bad it would have been if

Business Insider has been terribly clickbaity recently. Is this a recent trend? I have even seen it from CNBC. I was only curious to see why it was such a big news, and I got baited. Laying off the head of mental health seems like a stupid

They must have done some analysis which says that a lot of people buy more than $150 at a time, or frequently and a bit below 150 that they could buy more than not. Anything less than that might not be profitable for them.
