I am facing a common issue on my ubuntu 22.04: can't execute apt-get update successfully because of missing signatures:

Reading package lists... Done
W: GPG error: https://dl.k6.io/deb stable InRelease: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY C780D0BDB1A69C86 E: The repository 'https://dl.k6.io/deb stable InRelease' is not signed.

my issue is, the referenced key doesn't exist on my machine. the output of apt-key list:

I alredy tried execute: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C780D0BDB1A69C86 but, surprisely, it signed a different key and have no effect, the issue persists:

Executing: /tmp/apt-key-gpghome.4bZH9jxkOQ/gpg.1.sh --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys C780D0BDB1A69C86

I ended up deleting the source list of k6 to fix the issue:

sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/k6.list
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/k6.list.save
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
