some fun date javascript functions and hubl macros

{#
  This is my new favorite "Days Ago" but converted for partner portals where
  action is needed and those "sales people" are out there hunting. They see
  a "15 minutes" ago on a date property... whatever

  date1: the first date (Newest Date)
  date2: the second date (Oldest Date)

{#
  if you update below you can just return "X days ago" but I like to convert this later sometimes
    {{- (difference / 86400000)|round(0, 'floor') -}}
  to 
      {{- (difference / 86400000)|round(0, 'floor') ~ ' days ago' -}}
#}

{#
  can't remember why I made this, I'm not using it but it is here. If I recall correctly it does some
  chaining witha date to get it to do somethign I needed it to do. Maybe ignore this
