That film was weird. It’s like the director decided half-way through, “actually this is too cringe for me, I’m just gonna have fun with it” and then proceeded to wrap things up in a deeply unsatisfying way. I still think about this film.
I guess my messaging is, even with a progressive post-scarcity egalitarian society like Star Trek, they can still ruin entire ecosystems, and solve it with a less than appropriate stopgap solution (“stay under Warp 5”).
Though it’s pointed out in the other comments that they did indeed strive to fix the problem quickly, and it was fixed by the time of Voyager’s creation

I mean Warp Drive literally rips apart the fabric of space causing gravitational instability, and the best the Federation could do was “hey guys, keep it below Warp 5 around settlements, kay?”
Then they told the Klingons and Vulcans who agreed. Then they told the Romulans and Cardassians who nodded but ignored it.
And then the episode abruptly ended, and Warp Drive driven climate change was never talked of again

I’d just go out to a pub every day and night, and just drink. What else are you gonna do

Initially my rails glided smooth with the shipping oil they came with.
Internet said, “nooo wipe off the shipping oil, use proper lube” , so I wiped it off with isopropyl alcohol and lubed it with bicycle grease. The ball bearings wouldn’t roll anymore. Rails moved, but didn’t glide.
Internet said “oooh you want PTFE metal-to-metal grease”, so I dismantled the rails and bathed them in an alcohol. When clean, the rails glided. As soon as I used this grease, the ball bearings wouldn’t budge anymore. Move, but not glide.
Internet said “oooh you used the wrong lube, you want PTFE-free white lithium grease”, so I dismantled the rails and bathed them in an alcohol bath again. Without any lube, the rails moved smooth again. I sprayed them very sparingly with the new grease, and whaddaya know the ball bearings wouldn’t roll anymore again.
Realising that the internet knew shit about shit, I left them as is and moved to the next step of the printer because I knew that perfect is the enemy of good

oh mate Im still fucking assembling mine. Lubricating everything slowed everything right down (pay no attention to lubrication tips on the internet: no one knows what they’re talking about)
Getting the frame square without clamps was difficult. I wish someone told me beforehand, “hey, get some angle clamps”
And of course, finding the damn pieces, and not wondering if the provider forgot to pack some
Definitely left me wondering
