Running on WSL-2 and doing:

docker run --interactive --tty ubuntu:21.10

 root@72ad42cf1ee9:/# apt-get update

I get:

Is anyone else seeing this? Any suggestions on how best to debug

How was the Docker container built? Usually they do not contain an entire OS because they’re meant to be either static for predictability, or ephemeral for scalability

Is this a stack of Docker on Ubuntu on WSL? Or is this a stack of Ubuntu on Docker on Dockerd (or some other platform) on WSL?

If it helps, I just found out the docker repo does not yet support Ubuntu 21.10 / Impish.

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.
