Magnet fishers in Amsterdam use strong magnets to drag whatever sticks out of the murky waters of the canals. 
What part of town are you in? West, South or East?
I recommend you take Mr. E to the Nemo science museum, go in the morning so it's not so busy. It's fantastic for kids 5-12. For dinner I recommend Tujuh Maret's "rijsttafel" in the Utrechtsestraat. Go see the Waterlooplein Market in the afternoon and have a beer at Café de Sluyswacht. Great breweries to visit are Brouwerij de Prael and Brouwerij 't IJ.
You made it to the city I reside in. If you need anything, let me know.
I never used social media, deleted Facebook two years after I first joined it. I'm just not so sure what it's for.

I liked that book you got there, but I'm reading the neverending story 😞
I don't.
Bitcoin didn't exist so there was no hope. The internet wasn't accessible for me so I had no clue about anything, relying on old outdated expensive and biased encyclopedia. Work efficiency was horrible, I would not have been as successful without my tools. Technological advancement since has been fantastic to witness and I enjoy all the opportunity it supplies. Simple binoculars with which I can see Jupiter's moons for a tiny fraction of my annual income, audiobooks to enhance my time efficiency while exercising, affordable synthesizers to play music with, the list is endless.
The true lesson of life still is how to find value and meaning for your own being. It's been the same lesson for tens of thousands of years. You probably would have felt nostalgia then as much as you do now if that's truly what it is.
But I now wonder, what do you miss so much about the 80's?
You know what? Destiny is around the corner. Pickles are the great redeemer, the sour snack cats are so scared of. #picklethon will rule nostr with lightning bolted zaps. 
For those who enjoyed the pussy themed #zapathon #pussython, the #picklethon is going to be epic 🥒 nostr:note1g8dkz8vhnq0fq6kmq267x0pvyguzkwmw4w4zdxnr5gzugjendu5s808wdj
