Have you confirmed the server has the most recent public signing keys for these repositories?

Is your server updated? A fully-updated 18.04 or *bionic* server will report itself as 18.04.5, which was released (ISO) in 14 August 2020 (https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2020/08/14/ubuntu-18-04-5-lts-released/) though installed systems upgraded to it before that ISO release date.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
