no time dependency

[Fattimo]

unsure if this is an actual issue, but the code is highly dependent on the output of Date.now(). Future development may be impeded

another "bug" related to date: everything calculated revolves around utc 00:00, but pairings are utc 14:00, so possibly have the cutoff for next-day parings be 1 hour before utc 14:00 rather than 14 hours before utc 14:00

[Fattimo]

one potential solution is to rewind new Date() when updating channels 5 hours, which will make everything calculated revolve around utc -5 or est 00:00 (must assign the date before the eod day before).

Could also just rewind new date 13 hours, and make everything revolve around utc 01:00, which is more intiutive for wider users
