Bushbuckridge
Bushbuckridge (Mapulaneng) is the main town in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality, Ehlanzeni District, Mpumalanga, South Africa.[1] The name Bushbuck Ridge was given because of the large herds of bushbuck found here in the 1880s, and the prominent WNW-ESE ridge in the southeastern part of the municipality.[2] The town of Bushbuckridge grew around a trading store that opened in 1884.

gollark: You can't just "not require oxygen".
gollark: The air doesn't move, so you're fixed in place (by air), but also can't breathe any.
gollark: If you stop time for everything but you, you can't actually do anything and rapidly suffocate or something.
gollark: It's not well-defined. If you literally "stop time", it can never start again.
