md`# ${seconds_to_biden.toLocaleString()} second${seconds_to_biden != 1 && 's' || ''} to Biden
That's ${(seconds_to_biden / 3600).toLocaleString()} hours (${(seconds_to_biden / (24 * 3600)).toLocaleString()} days) until 5pm UTC on Wednesday 20th January 2021 (noon US Eastern, 9am US Pacific)`
seconds_to_biden = {
while (true) {
yield Promises.delay(500, Math.max(0, Math.ceil((biden_starts - Date.now()) / 1000)));
}
}
biden_starts = new Date(Date.UTC(2021, 0, 20, 17, 0)) // 5pm UTC on 20th January 2021 - thanks, Toph Tucker
md`I had initially calculated this in Python using:
import datetime, pytz
datetime.datetime.timestamp(
datetime.datetime(2021, 1, 20, 17, 0, tzinfo=pytz.UTC)
)
